It does not have any downdraft. Mine is used with the matching over the stove microwave.

I only use the stand at work for a standard desk top. Yes I believe you will need the vent due to no ventilation on the stand. I hope this Is useful.

The vent is on top, just make sure you don't have it near cupboards otherwise it will discolor your cupboards. There is a drip tray on the side where you just have to dump out the water.

Pete, this range has no capability for venting a range or cooktop. It is not intended to be hung. Installation instructions state to place it on a level surface. It can be used as a built-in with some optional trim.

There is a vent on the top of the unit that the instructions implicitly say to not cover, so I'm guessing it would not be a good idea to enclose it entirely.

You can recirculate the vent back to the kitchen or vent it outside. Either or will work

Hi Robert, This is my second one too. Neither of mine had the vent in the back top. They work great.

If it's recommended to have stainless venting use it. I did. Don't go cheap.

Yes it is. There is a vent you have to open. If it is open I suggest contacting the seller.

Yes, a small vent, but most of the steam escapes through the spout. You must be careful as you are pouring, because when you get down towards the bottom of the pot, the lid will fall off and scald your hand. Better to take the lid off when you are pouring.

The venting is on the sides but it doesn't come with a setup for direct mounting. I suppose if you were willing to take the case off and manually mount it that it would be possible but it isn't designed as such.

The vent is on the back. This is a counter top microwave. Not suitable for over the stove mounting.

It could produce a lot of smoke if allowed to really heat up, but as a cook I heat to the point of light smoke then add the food, so using it inside without a vent isn't an issue.

There is no need for a special exhaust vent. This unit is meant to be free standing and only requires about and inch of clearance so the built in fan can vent into your room/kitchen. It's not designed to act as a vent for a stove as well as a microwave oven.

Yes. There is a vent in the lid. Have had in for several months and love itHighly recommend it.

The ventilation comes from the unit not being airtight. I don't quite recall whether there were airholes in the back. The unit will go with your stainless steel appliances...more like a brushed look. I love this little unit...useful addition to a small modern kitchen.
