- I commented to Susan in a private e-mail message that I have the
- Modern Maid range that she is looking at. And if there is one thing
- that I could change about it, it would be the vent. It is noisy and
- literally pulls the flame toward it (gas range, remember.) Frankly,
- the vent is so annoying that I never use it.
-
- So I agree with Ed. Overhead vents are the way for me!
