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.

It does work, and that’s the most important thing if you can get past the initial feeling of it being in the way. The stainless steel looks great, like it is … More part of the microwave. It blocks your view of the back burners and the controls for the oven if they’re on the back instead of at the front. Realistically that shouldn’t be a problem most of the time, since there’s a clock on the microwave and we use the front burners more. But there’s no getting around that it’s in the way, and I don’t know that there’s an alternative with an over the range microwave that doesn’t sacrifice exhaust ability.

Update: I’ve had this over a year and it still looks like new when I clean it. It has saved my new cabinets from grease and moisture. Worth every penny. … More Couldn’t be happier. Thankful every time I pull the retractable Microvisor out. It solves the problem of grease collecting on cabinets, yet still allows you to space save with the microwave above the stove. I would hope this idea could be sold to an appliance manufacturer. Every above-the-stove-microwave should come standard with a Microvisor . It’s a game changer.
—————————————————————————
Love, Love, Love the Microvisor retractable hood! We bought new cabinets and wanted the convenience of the microwave above the stove. Unfortunately I didn’t realize the microwave’s fan wasn’t powerful enough. Researching further, you’ll never find a microwave that’s as powerful as a hood fan. So I had two options -1. Replace the new microwave with a hood or 2. Deal with moisture/grease and wipe down cabinets every.singly.time. Fortunately, Microvisor found a solution! Thank you Microvisor!Audrey S ★★★★★ 2 months ago

Extends as described but hangs lower below microwave than I expected. You must extend to use fan and light as described whichj is annoying. Too bad they did … More not make it with clear glass so the light could be used when closed. Probably OK for those who have cabinets on both sides but as I only hav cabinet on one side I am not sure if I will keep using it.

Installed the retractable microvisor hood without any difficulty. It does a great job directing smoke and steam towards my externally vented microwave hood, … More especially for high smoke applications such as stir-fry, where setting off the smoke alarm was certain prior to its installation.

I always wondered if there was anything I could do to stop stove heat from rising up to the bottom of the microwave, where it ends up causing moisture or grease … More buildup on the cabinets. Then I came across the Microvisor – what a terrific idea!
Installation was a breeze, and it actually adds a bit of style while blending really well with our setup. It’s well-made and feels like a quality product. Very happy with it so far!Edwin M ★★★★★ 4 months ago

Really easy to install. Took literally 10 minutes. Appears to work exactly as promised.

This fixes everything. Thanks, guys!

The retractable vent hood extension was super easy to install. I really wish the over-the-range microwave didn’t need an extension but I’m glad this product … More exists because fumes from the front stove burners were seemingly taking the express route to an all-too-eager smoke detector.

I got a "MICROVISOR Retractable Extension Hood - Standard Size - Stainless Steel", to install under a KitchenAid KMHC319EBS microwave, and I am glad … More I did.Just a couple of glitches with the hardware:A tiny screw for the magnets was missing in the package, so I had to go visit Home Depot, and buy a bunch of them in a package.Then, the screws to install the front to the microwave in the package are thicker than what fits this microwave. Fortunately, I happened to find two in my garage.It does improve the extraction of vapors by the exhaust fan, and looks good under this microwave.Now that it's installed, it occurs to me that they should also offer the metal side pieces shown in the fourth picture here, which could be attached with strong magnets (or screwed) to the outer side of the bars of the extension hood to help keep vapors from escaping.For my taste, a curved line, and round corners, instead of the triangular shape, and pointy corners of the one in the picture, would look better.If you come up with it, please let me know.Thanks!

I am pleasantly surprised how well this works. We replaced our cooktop several yrs ago. The old one vented outside.

We installed an over the stove microwave during a kitchen renovation where we previously had an old Nutone Range Hood. Even though it’s vented outside I didn’t … More realize how poor the ventilation would be when using the front burners. The steam was getting the microwave wet as well as the cabinets. I was searching the internet when I came upon Microvisor. I read the reviews and thought I would give it a try. I’m very pleased so far. It doesn’t eliminate all of the steam from rising up above the stove when using the front burners but I would say it’s been improved by 80%. It was easy to install and the black looks great with my Whirlpool stove and microwave. Definitely worth the investment and I would recommend to anyone having the same issue.

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!!
