Not only does it keep down odors and grease stains it also keeps the house cooler. I do not like the ones that just filter the fumes and blow them back into the room. I suppose that cut down on grease and, if they have a charcole filter, on odors. But if you are talking about real amounts of toxic gases than no way is some 6x10 filter going to handle it. I suppose it makes a difference whether you have a gas or electric stove. With electric you have only cooking odors and less waste heat. A gas stove produces fumes from the combustion as well as more waste heat. (I still like gas.) Being able to exhaust the heat out of the house can make cooking tolerable in the summer and reduce your air conditioner bill if you have one.
