With living rooms getting all gammed up and modern thanks to flat-panel TVs and the like, kitchens are feeling a little peer pressure to keep up. If you're not interested in a full-on kitchen makeover, here's a quicker, easier option: an angled glass mirror that hangs above your stove. Beyond adding a touch of shiny aesthetic to your cooking, Ntec's KHNWA-E190 range hood is equipped with filters to draw away what Aving describes as "toxic waste." Makes you wonder what those guys are doing in their kitchens.

It all sounds well and good, style-wise, but I doubt all the filtering in the world could prevent the at least the frame of the thing from getting all grimy and gross, making it one extra thing to clean. But if you're just hiring a housekeeper for that anyway, this could be the perfect companion for your carousel microwave. — Peter Pachal
