She who knows what she wants in the kitchen says the next order of
business - we will be buying a convection toaster oven very soon now -
is to replace the range hood with a combination range hood and microwave
oven, this in order to free up the counter space currently taken up by
the microwave in our small kitchen. The previous discussion of
convection toaster ovens was indeed very helpful.

I imagine this is a matter for a contractor, since I'm sure not all
range hoods are the same, but if anyone has any recommendations, we are
all ears here. We like our microwave ovens powerful - I think our
current model is 1100 or 1200 watts. Our house does vent the range hood
to the outside.

Many thanks in advance.
