    Does anyone know how effective venting via the overhead microwave is vs an actual dedicated range hood?

      Depends on whether it vents outside or just blows the fumes back in your face. But generally it will be slightly to much worse than a dedicated range hood. What/how you cook matters a lot - don’t sear ribeyes inside on cast iron without a vent hood.

        Thanks. My microwave does vent to the outside of the house. I’ll consider a range hood for the future.
