It's enough in the sense that if fulfills the manufacturers requirements. In reality you would be better served in many ways with a short 6" high hood. It'll work better as a hood and leave you a decent amount of room to work with.

Hi Joe,

I planning on remodeling my kitchen again and to move my microwave from the cabinet to under the cabinet range!. I currently have a Zephyr Power a Series hood vent!. It only a couple of years old.. I have someone who wants to buy it if I do the move?. It going pay for my under the cabinet microwave if I decide to go in this direction.

Thanks for the reply!

Just done doing measures from a display in one of the big box home improvements store.. It turn out the move the cabinets up about 3 inches and so you actually get 16" of cooking space! It does looking better!. LOL!

Just got done talking to a general contractor about moving the cabinet up 4" and installing a under the cabinet microwave!. Never guess how much he wants to do the job!. Does not included the microwave either!
