Keep a leopard on the cooktop and no one will want to get close enough to see the underside.

Broan should be ashamed of this design. It appears to have a large capture area but only part of it connects to the containment part (the mesh).

Anything added will reduce light transmission to some degree.

Does this vent outside or inside; I can't see enough to surmise the entire design.

I think if you review hood threads on this forum, the functions that hoods are supposed to accomplish, along with the configurations that do so effectively, will become apparent and you may wish to replace this with something more effective.

$50 hood. For a little over $100 their Allure line is "pretty" and the least cost to make this better.

Baffles are so much better than wire mesh. Much easier to clean. And much less likely to simply clog and stop working.

We are having the same issue. did you find a solution?
