the removable filters are for microwaves that mount above the stove, and have a built in ventilation fan in the bottom to suck in air and pass it through a filter. They are alternatives to dedicated vent hoods.

You can see the vents below the microwave where it sucks in air and on the top of the microwave where it blows it back into the room.

dedicated hoods or microwave hoods that vent outside shouldn't need a filter. but extractor fans that blow the air back into the room use a filter to deal with smoke particulates and smells.

you probably don't need to keep a schedule, but if your stove extractor stops helping with cooking smoke/smells, it might be worth paying $10 for a new filter to fix it.

Who the hell can afford to replace these things that often? Being able to buy my FIRST couch is like a daydream I come back to?! (I don't want a used bedbugs one) Also what the fuck do you MEAN microwaves have removable filters somewhere

#I dunno why I went to search for images of extractor fans when I have one 10 feet from me #Also i should probably replace the filters because it doesn't really work well and I don't think it has ever been replaced #Oh the filter is small like a $10 carbon sheet has enough material to replace rhe filter 4 times.
