Does this have enough vent power to be used in the kitchen over a cooktop? Approx. 4 to 4.5 feet over cooktop.

Definitely NOT!Also not designed for potential oil-filled air. There is no filter, and that white ring would quickly stain.

Maybe. But I would not recommend it. I have it installed in my bathroom with the recommended light wattage and it's extremely bright. Perfect for a bathroom, but would be overkill in a cooktop. Also it's very noisy. From that aspect I am disappointed with it. But there fairly limited attractive bathroom fan options, so I accept it.

Yes. The microwave is 12" with approximately an additional 3.5" for the vent.

It's best to mount this close to the ceiling. On the back there is a 4 inch exhaust. This will need to be vented to the outside at that approximate height.

Ours is vented outside, but it can be used as a ductless range hood if you prefer.

Yes we have used ours for about 6 months and it works fine. Our vent was open to the outside before and we had wind noise, with this, no more wind noise. Our fans are fairly strong air flow but I think any exhaust fan would open it for venting.

This isn't made for under counter as there's no front venting. I did buy it to use under my counter, but it's not tall enough. There was way too much space between top of cooler & counter & it looked ridiculous.

less than 4ft. if it is long enough then it's worth it. I have not have overheating since using it.

Not sure what you mean by a vent fan but it does not vent like a range hood. It does however apparently draw air in through the rear and exhaust it out the front. There's a grille area in the front below the door opening about 1" high and extends from left to right across the front of the unit. Air is pushed out there. I read somewhere in previous GE units the air was vented in the rear and may have overheated the unit or at least shortened the life of the mechanical components especially if it was housed in an enclosed space. This unit is about 1 " or so higher than the units it replaced. Not sure what you mean by a vent fan but it does not vent like a range hood.

It is well suited for a gas range. I use mine over a propane turkey fryer with no issues. Personally I would love to use mine over a gas range, but unfortunately I have a glass top range. Hope this helps

About the same as the cooling pad for the laptop. I agree the vent over my stove is much louder.

free standing appliances must have some space around them to prevent over heating,they vent out the back,some products say they are undercounter because they are under 34 inches tall. to make sure an appoliance can be housed in a area surrounded by cabinets make sure you can see the frontal exhaust vents-this model is made to exhaust hot air out the front,,(see the front grill vents) I have researched these for a week and I think im going to get this one

It needs to vented out a side wall,max thickness of 12".the unit dosen't use inside room air for combustion,which is very good.

Yes close to ceiling as possible vented to outside make sure to remove damper on unit use a dampered vent cap

Draws air in from the front, blows it out the top (basically behind and a lil below the top controls). I'd say 6"-12" should be enough distance.

I put under stove exhaust fan while using. Assuming you have vented range hood.

It will be fine above a built in oven as long as you have roughly 4 inches clearance below the top of the counter as this device sets in to the counter. It is a good stove top for the money.
