Because that has a charcoal filter and is the entire issue with gas ranges, they need to be vented outdoors…

Not sure what you’re saying here… The combo literally comes with a vented hood. It does vent outside, and comes with the vent for it.

You’re suggesting every unit be about 3-5k more just so it can used a cheap gas unit…? What…

I didn’t say every unit, or anything of the sort. I was just saying that a cheap gas stove is better to cook with than a cheap electric. I wasn’t talking about anything else, and made no other claims.

But since you want to go into other shit unrelated to what I was talking about about… Electricity costs more than natural gas in a lot of places. Here in AZ for instance the electricity to run an electric range costs a shit ton more than the equivalent gas (especially in the summer with higher grid load from A/C usage). If a house is already plumbed for it, switching to electric is just going to cost more for a worse experience. No one was ever talking about retrofitting a place without gas for it.

You and I both know that they should be vented outside, but I’m guessing how often it isn’t would be quite frustrating.

My shitty starter house (1995) didn’t have a vent, but there was a window in the kitchen, so did that count? My boyfriend’s house is in a higher cost of living area with absurdly expensive houses, and he was told (after purchasing the house when he was getting some things updated) that his vented into the attic. He doesn’t use it because he doesn’t want to blow aerosolized oils all over whatever’s up there.
