And how about range hoods vs. just the regular over-the-range microwave ventilation. I’m noticing so many kitchen packages come with over-the-range microwaves, and the prices on some packages are about the same as a Bosch refrigerator. I have a crappy old fan vent thing over my stove. I assume it’s a similar performance? Not so great.

I’m also worried about noisy refrigerators as my house is tiny. I don’t care about the sound of ice dropping. It’s the odd whining and groaning sounds that get me. My choices are more limited as I need a counter depth.

I’m probably going to go with a Carrier Ac as the air handlers are quiet and the closet it would be in is right near my bedroom.
