"First, I had to contact the vendor when they did not follow up to make an appointment. Once scheduled, the time was changed due to weather. We contracted for 4 hours of cleaning and I got 2 hours of 2 cleaners, concentration on 1 and 1/2 bathrooms and a small galley kitchen cleanup. One cleaner concentrated on the bathrooms and took two hours - very happy with the bathroom cleaning, left my bathrooms sparkling. The 2nd cleaner took the kitchen and literally cleaned the kitchen for 2 hours: slow and no real effort made. I had to watch this cleaner and I kept asking for what I would call routine cleaning. Wipe everything down, wash the floor, wipe refrigerator down, wipe stove and range down. Not a two hour job to this customer. I had to ask to please vacuum the living room space and wash the kitchen floor before leaving. The price was good for a sale price advertised, but I have hired more efficient house cleaning teams in the past."

Range Hoods questions, answered by experts

No, range hoods do not necessarily have to be vented outside. Ductless or non-vented range hoods are available, which are common in condos or small kitchens where connecting to external ductwork isn't feasible. These hoods operate by taking in air, filtering it through charcoal filters to help eliminate smoke and odors, and then recirculating the cleaned air back into the kitchen. However, while these recirculating hoods are more versatile, venting to the outside is still the preferred and more effective method for completely removing smoke, odors, and gases from the room.

Regular cleaning of filters and checking ducting ensures effective operation.

A higher CFM will make the price of your range hood more expensive. It can be challenging to speculate how much the CFM rating affects price, but ductless range hoods—that don’t need as high of a CFM as ducted range hoods—are less expensive than their alternative. On average, ductless hoods cost between $100 and $300, while ducted hoods can cost as much as $1,000.

No, you can’t install just any microwave over your range. You have to get a specific type of microwave known as an over-the-range unit. These include venting and lighting features that you’ll need above your stovetop. 

Although countertop units are more affordable, they won’t work for this type of installation. To avoid hazardous conditions in your kitchen, buy the right type of microwave for your needs.

Smooth galvanized metal ducting is best and safest for venting a hood range. It’s best to avoid flexible and corrugated types of ducting, as these options don’t provide ample airflow and may not meet local code. For specific advice on which type of duct might be best for your kitchen, reach out to a range hood installation professional.
