GE Appliances Electric Downdraft Cooktop
Best space-saving cooktop for kitchens without overhead ventilation.
This is the ultimate problem-solver for kitchen islands where an overhead hood would ruin the sightlines. By pulling smoke and steam directly down into the unit, you gain a clean, open aesthetic, though you do sacrifice some cabinet space below to house the ventilation system.
