Default Microwave exhaust fix

Just ordered a "Microvisor" it extends a small hood that attaches to the bottom of the microwave--should stop the rising steam that covers our cabinets

I saw one of these at a home in The Villages I inspected about a week ago. It solves the common complaint of fumes/steam not being sucked up into the exhaust. I was impressed.

This is cheaper then replacing it with a better LG model that has the vent hood coming out when in use.

Here is the link the original poster was referring to;
