All the apartment, homes, condos in California I lived in vented to the outside. I heard the cabinets will get all greasy. What a mistake for the builder to allow this to happen.Hopefully the builder comes up with a better solution during my walk though next week. I like the comment about diverting the air away from the cabinets but then where would the grease go?
Far from and expert. The OP was about a microwave. Ours does not vent outside but goes through a screen the grease is,"supposed" to stick to the screen which you are supposed to remove and clean. The screen is aluminum and we run it through the dishwasher. Venting it outside, we do not have that system but I would imaging you would need to clean the duct work and the grease will mark your home where it exits..

As used in a restaurant you can get a range hood and duct all cooking smoke outside.
Cost-I don't know. Since it involves a fan, I assume you need an opening to allow outside air in otherwise the fan is like sucking air out of a coke bottle. Air has to come in to be blown out.
