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.

Made a huge difference for my microwave hood, which had never formally been vented properly. After carving a vent into my ceiling and roof, adding this retractable … More hood extender, which was a game changer. It really does eddy the vapor and smoke back towards the airpull afforded by the microwave vent fans. It performs as I had hoped and despite the price I am happy with the entire experience. Install was very easy, and the entire thing looks like it was an original part of the microwave. My wife has not complained!!Matthew H ★★★★★ in the last week

Removable Hood- quality product and packaging. Installation was VERY simple, unit looks good and I will test performance tonight. If you wonder about the … More hood obscuring your vision of the cooktop see my photos, not a problem for me- the close-up pic was taken at eye level and at working distance from the cooktop. The bottom of my microwave unit is 20" above the cooktop surface. My only comment on the design: I feel two thumbscrews- one near each end of the mounting bracket- that actually secure the hood to bracket would enhance the firmness/stability of the installation; a very minor issue however.Bill G ★★★★★ in the last week

Great product for above-range microwaves. Our first one arrived with a dent (not a manufacturing error; it was due to shipping), and we called on Labor Day … More to leave a message.

I love the looks of this hood! It makes my stove/microwave area look more upscale. Microwave bottoms always look so unfinished, and mine sat about 1" above … More the bottom of my cabinets. This fills in that space beautifully! I bought the hood to cut down on the amount of grease that gets on my microwave and the cabinet above it, and honestly I can't speak to that yet. It hasn't been up long enough to tell if it is cutting down on the grease. But the install was super easy and it looks awesome!Janet Z ★★★★★ a month ago

We have a over the range microwave that came with the home we purchased. We wanted to replace our microwave with a dedicated exhaust fan because the microwave … More vent missed most of the cooking smoke from the stove since we cooks on the front of the stove.The retractable solution we bought completely took care of the issue for us. Because it extends over the front of the range, it catches the smoke and steam and pushes it back to the microwave exhaust to get it out of our house. We have been so happy with the solution and avoided a costly upgrade to the house. Totally worth it!James C ★★★★★ 2 months ago

I've had the micro-visor for a week and so far I haven't had the smoke alarm go off! I know this won't fix everything but I do think it's making a huge difference. It's directing the steam into the vent much better than without it.
