New range hood not eliminating all odors
Background: We had an over the range microwave with an open-plan first floor. Cooking resulted in smells accumulating on the second floor. I replaced the microwave with a reasonably good range hood. Connected to the duct successfully, and confirmed the air expels out the wall where expected. Aromas have reduced (tested by searing steaks) but significant amount still gets through. The hood is 33 inches above the stove. Mfr recommends 24-30 inches. Incredibly (to me) a new cabinet that’s 2-6 inches taller is $350 - $500. Therefore I want to be sure forking out another chunk of change is going to have the desired effect.
