- I'd like to hear answers to these questions too. I'm building a house, and
- the plans call for a downdraft cooktop/oven combo.
-
- How does a downdraft compare to a normal range hood?
- Jenn Air, GE, and Kitchen Aid are the brands I'm most curious about.
- Which has the most effective vent?
-
- Finally, what are some pros and cons on a separate wall oven vs. a cooktop/oven
- combo?
-
- Thanks for any information!
