Ductless Kitchen Vent

[Matthew Greco]

Hey all,

This is actually a personal request for my home.

I just moved into a studio apartment with no vent over the stove. The windows are also of the other side of the apartment, so as you can imagine cooking is rough, smelly and smokey. 

I'm looking for a ductless vent, 24" in size and want it to be powerful! I want this thing to suck all the smoke and smells.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Practically all over-range vents have the option of venting outside or venting inside with the addition of a charcoal filter.

The charcoal filter helps reduce smells and grease, but needs to be replaced frequently and in the end, it’s still just blowing the air back into the room.

It’s usually code compliant, but doesn’t really help that much with smoky or greasy cooking.
