Check with your local planning department. With 10" ducting, you definitely need a roof jack that doesn't constrict air flow. The standard Vent-A-Hood recommended roof jack is fairly low profile. It seems unlikely that it wouldn't comply with your local wind resistance standards. Are you sure it's not just your roofer's resistance to using something different from what he usually installs? It's a pretty sure bet that yours isn't the only house in Miami-Dade County with a 900 cfm Vent-A-Hood.

Mine is from builder. It is one of Thermolec air heaters ( http://www.thermolec.com/en/productView.aspx?type=product&id=77) plus a separate current triggered flapper. The heater tries to heat the air to 15 C (PWM), activated by the air flow. It is a passive one and connects to the air return of the furnace via a 10 inch duct. It is not as sophisticated and highly performed as Kas's.

"They said the hood vent was probably getting too much power and thats why it got messed up." No. That makes no sense. I'd do the following: Pull the cable out of the hole at the bottom of the cabinet Obtain a surface-mount electrical box (example) and remove one of the knockouts. Attach the electrical box to the back of the cabinet. Route the cable into the electrical box and clamp (example) it in place. Wire up an outlet (example) and attach it to the box. Attach a cover (example) to the box. Run the cable from the microwave through the existing hole and plug it into the new outlet. -- amateur

Most of the people that we dealt with were nice, but their quality control is HORRIBLE. We ended up wasting two months and had to scrap everything Hoodsly built. We had to pay for junk removal. Here is our story: we placed an order for the simple box hood cover with walnut trim in March 2021 for a new custom home. The hood cover was delivered in June/July 2021. When our blower was finally delivered in January 2022 we found out that Hoodsly incorrectly built the hood cover. It was short by two inches and the walnut trim was not the correct size (short by over an inch). We immediately contacted Hoodsly and they apologized and agreed to remake the hood cover. This FIRST error caused us to delay our HVAC inspection, so this FIRST mistake caused almost a one month delay. However, at least Hoodsly said they were going to correct it asap. After multiple calls (including facetime calls) and multiple affirmations on the size, they said the corrected hood cover was in production and that it would take about a week to produce. Fine. We exchange more emails and facetime, to make sure they have the correct dimensions. They assure me they will make things right. I even spoke with the CEO and he refunded me $500 (however, at this point this mistake has costed more than $500). Then we asked about shipping and their customer service rep assured me it would be delivered to Seattle, WA in 2-3 business days. I asked her multiple times, "are you sure?" She replied, "I've been doing this for xx years, yes, I'm positive." Great. So we schedule our installers to install the remade hood cover a couple of days after the rescheduled date. A few days later, we receive a call from the shipper that the hood cover would be delivered, not in the 2-3 days, but instead at least 5-6 days. I asked, and the shipper said 2-3 days is impossible. I called Hoodsly back and asked what was going on; apparently, the person whose been doing this for xx years and coordinating the shipping doesn't know the difference between Washington DC and Washington State. So now, I have to try to reschedule the installers (who are already super busy) causing additional delays. By this time, our home is sitting, and our builder can't do anything until the hood is installed and our inspection is complete. Fast forward a few weeks, and the new hood cover is finally delivered. The installers come over and start measuring again to make sure we have it right. Well, Hoodsly messed up AGAIN! This time they made the hood cover depth too short, and so the blower still does not fit. In addition, the walnut trim that they sent was the wrong size and not even for the correct hood cover (according to the Hoodsly builder). So I jump on multiple calls and facetime calls with Hoodsly and their installers, and they apologize again and said they would remake it for a THIRD time. I even spoke to the actual builder of these hood covers. Apparently, Hoodsly doesn't even make these. Hoodsly is a middle man that contracts with another company to make these. Hoodsly is just an online presence. They admitted that they have communication issues that they are still working through. Anyway, after at least two months of delays and thousands of dollars, we throw in the towel. We did not trust that Hoodsly would make this correct. for the third time. We could not take the risk for more delays. We asked the builder and carpenter if they could use the wrong hood covers somewhere else or for another project, as we hate wasting. However, they said, it was just scrap and it would be cheapest to just haul it to the dump. We then had to pay for junk removal to haul the covers and all of the packing material for the two wrong hoods to the dumpster. Such a waste of time, money and resources, and all we received from Hoodsly was an apology and our refund. AGAIN, a waste of time, money and resources! We ended up hiring finish carpenters to finish our hood installation and our kitchen, which costed thousands more, and more delays. In the end, Hoodsly caused us to delay the closing of our home by at least two months and costed us thousands of dollars. ****UPDATE****Minutes after posting this review, Hoodsly's contacted me and I spoke with the CEO. He again apologized for the mishap and they provided satisfactory compensation. I appreciated that they wanted to make this right despite us not being able to use their hood.
