MICROVISOR® manufactures a line of hood extensions designed to attach to a microwave over the range(OTR), and improve the exhaust functionality of the microwave. It was designed to complete the intended exhaust operation of the microwave over the range.
The intended use of the microwave over the range was to utilize cabinet space by incorporating an exhaust system/secondary heating source, and installing it in place of a more expensive exhaust hood. Microwaves over the range are approximately 15 inches deep, and all cook-tops/ranges are normally 26 inches deep. It is virtually impossible for an OTR microwave to exhaust the fumes from cooking on the front burners, due to it's design, and lack of CFM of airflow needed.
The MICROVISOR® projects forward of the microwave oven in order to capture the smoke, grease and odors. The Microvisor design that attaches to the microwave chassis in minutes. The MICROVISOR® is simply inserted into the bracket and removed by pulling it out when needed/or retracts based on model type. The MICROVISOR® line of microwave hood extensions fit 99% of the microwave over the range market, including model dating back 20 years.
Microvisor, has proven to capture up to 90% of the cooking fumes and odors produced while cooking on the front burners of a cook-top or stove. It prevents the smoke, grease and odors from spreading into your home, and reduces onset smoke alarms. Improve your microwave exhaust system by "capturing" more with MICROVISOR's line of products. Our MICROVISOR® products require no electric, and can be installed without a handy man.

- ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE Micro Visor Hood
Brett S ★★★★★ in the last week - Gil B ★★★★★ a week ago
- Product is great but not easy to install. My micro might be a little lower than normal but trying to get the screws in was very difficult. Plus the new screws … More provided were bigger than the existing ones. Could not get two of the middle ones in at all. Tried using a drill with screw head adapter and ended up stripping the head. Still is halfway in and I can't get it out. Wish the instructions said to try screwing in the screws first to be sure they fit. Like I said the hood works well but the installation is not enjoyable.

- The vent hood works perfectly! However, it is not that easy to install, and yes, we watched the videos and those on youtube. I have a Samsung microwave (not … More the kind requiring the extra part), and have 4 holes - 3 along the front and one in far right corner. There was no opening to be able to screw the Microvisor hood to the Samsung part, so we just didn't add it. The three along the front plus addition one on top is holding it all in nicely.

- I cook lot of Indian food with turmeric in it. With time, i was seeing my kitchen cabinets above microwave turning yellow and it started worrying me. We thought … More of removing the microwave and install a more powerful hood. But this was not an easy and economical thing to do as we needed a new range hood, a new over the counter microwave which will also use lot of my counter space. All the remodeling definitely involved additional labor costs but then I came across this microvisor hood. What a brilliant idea!!! I am using it for weeks now and my cabinets look sparkling clean. So so easy to mount and looks elegant in the kitchen. I generally don’t like to write reviews but this device solved my problem. Very happy with the purchase, I purchased from Walmart, quick delivery. Would definitely recommend. Surbhi K ★★★★★ 6 months ago
- We have using our Microvisor Hood for almost a year now. I wanted to get some long term experience with it before I posted a review.
I'm happy to say … More the Microvisor works as advertised. The unit vents all cooking steam from our kitchen and keeps the microwave and cabinets clean.
It was very easy to install, fits well and looks like it is part of the microwave.
Highly recommend! Jerry F ★★★★★ 7 months ago - Got my hood today. Excellent packaging, fast shipment, great updates on shipment progress/tracking. Installation took like 5 min, perfect fit, did not use … More instruction at all, all is very simple and clear. Totally disagree with reviews that material is thin and flimsy. Absolutely appropriate thickness of material, same thickness as my Bosch panel which I removed for installation. Tested performance with boiling water. Without the hood my microwave front was covered all over with condensate, wet and ugly; with the hood not a single wet spot! Same time, I expect that after oily cooking it will be smart to clean the hood inside to avoid grease build up, but that is a normal housekeeping. As for not capturing vapors - it does capture almost all vapors. Overall, I am very happy with the hood. As for the price - yes, it is a little bit more than I wanted to pay BUT it is so simple to install, does the job very well , looks professional and saves on hassle of "home made solutions", which end up at the same or even higher costs and may look DIY. Kudos to the Microvisor! Great idea and I would like to see their business growing. Just a little comment not related to the item quality - I wish they included a nice "Microvisor" sticker to put on the hood (2D would be nice!), like the one on website. Mine came without it. A K ★★★★★ 10 months ago
- I was looking for a solution to improve the function of our externally vented microwave. Although my unit didn’t have screws on the bottom, the company provided … More a detailed description on how the Microvisor Hood had been installed on similar units. It works unbelievably well! Instead of suboptimal venting on the high setting, we get great extraction for most things on low. No more water dripping down the front of the microwave when boiling lobster. Aesthetically very pleasing as well. Great value. Henry M ★★★★★ a year ago
- When I remodeled my kitchen I installed a microwave/hood vent combo to get the microwave off my counter. I love the fact that it is now over my stove but even … More on high fan speed the steam and oils from cooking were going in front of it and oil and damaging steam were collecting on my brand new kitchen cabinets. I would have to clean those upper cabinets after using the stove top every time to wipe off oil that had collected on them from cooking. I found the microvisor hood in an attempt to find a solution before permanent damage occurred. It seemed to easy and simple to actually work but I needed something so I gave it a try. It has been the best $130 I have spent in a long time. I purchased the stainless steel to match my microwave and stovetop. It looks great and more importantly, it works great! I haven’t needed to clean oil residue nor wipe the face of the microwave and upper cabinets of water vapor since I have installed the microvisor hood. It is super easy to install. I removed the 4 front screw from the bottom of the microwave, then put the bracket in place and put the 4 screws it came with back in. Then the hood just slips into the bracket. It comes with a stabilizing screw if you choose to use it but the bracket is sturdy enough, you don’t need it if you don’t want to. The hood is easily slipped off if you prefer not to have it on all the time but I find that it looks nice in my kitchen so I just leave mine installed in the bracket and put the stabilizing screw in since I don’t take it down when I am not using it.

- This product was so much more than expected. I would recommend this product to anyone.. The hood fit perfectly, three screws all done. I did use a little larger … More screw than I took out and the ones that came with the product. Not necessary that’s just me. Came a lot quicker than I thought. BRILLIANT!!! David Y ★★★★★ 2 years ago

Good quality item, quickly installed.

Had one question. … More Reply came the next day
Thanks..
Mike L ★★★★★ 2 years ago - The unit performs as stated. Fast transaction and shipping. Easy to install. Definitely keeps moisture from entering the Microwave electronics directly above, … More and probably 75% or more of smoke and vapors are collected and vented out the rear vent in my case.
Pete R ★★★★★ 2 years ago - Loving the microvisor and we just got it today. Great instructions and it truly took minutes to install. Most important, it’s catching and directing the smoke … More from pans on the front burner to the exhaust! Thanks so much for making this available. Only sorry I didn’t find it years ago!

F Z ★★★★★ 2 years ago - So happy with this purchase. We recently remodeled our kitchen and went with a gas range. I love the quick and consistent gas heat, but man does it get hot … More and smokey in the kitchen. We were starting to regret not going with a full range hood vent versus the microwave option. This simple and really attractive item solved the problems. No more smoke alarm going off every time I cook. No more grease vapor to wipe off of our expensive cabinets over the microwave. So happy I purchased this. So easy to install. So easy to remove. Well done. What a great product.
No, I was not paid for this review. I did not get a discount. I would have paid more than MSRP for this has I know it would work so well.
Thanks Microvisor!!!
-Ryan Graves ( Bothell, WA) Ryan G ★★★★★ 2 years ago - I rarely make recommendations or give reviews on products I purchase on the internet, but this is one time I had to make an exception. I purchased my Microvisor … More hood and received it fast. Unfortunately, due to the rough handling by UPS, it was damaged and bent. Despite the hassle generated by UPS, Microvisor did not hesitate to immediately send me a replacement, which I received just as fast as the first one. I commend George for his accessibility and his excellent customer service. Additionally, I just want to add that the hood looks great and really works well. Overall, I’m glad I decided to make the purchase.
