Range hoods do not have to be vented to the outside. You can purchase hoods without ductwork called ductless hoods. But, ducted range hoods are almost always preferred over ductless hoods.
Similarly, are downdraft vents any good?
In general, downdraft ranges get a lot of complaints because it’s impossible for a downdraft’s airflow to be as effective as traditional ventilation.

Recirculation/self-circulating cooker hoods are often much cheaper than extraction hoods because they don’t include ducting. However, they are less effective at dealing with smells, grease, and smoke because they have to process the air, and inevitably they don’t do that 100% perfectly.
Additionally, are ventless hoods any good?
In general, a ductless range hood is better than no range hood. Ductless range hoods can be installed on your wall, over a kitchen island, or inside a custom range hood. They are also a cost-effective option for your kitchen, since you don’t have to pay a contractor to install ductwork.
