Definitely NO. I have to admit, the recirculation mode works better (with regularly replaced filters) – even though I used to prefer exhaust air. But that was only because I found changing the filter annoying. (and still do) It helps somewhat, but I would definitely still treat myself to a decent exhaust air solution.

Inspired by the thread about the appearance of the staircase and fall protection, I took two snapshots:

The staircase is very simple, made from untreated chopped spruce wood, deliberately rough and crafted in the style of the ceiling beams. The railing was meant to be delicate. We had it manufactured as a component to finish ourselves. The dog likes to sleep in his basket under the first steps. Maybe the step lights will arrive today. The door handle also still has a delivery time – we won't be "finished" that quickly.

The window between the desk and the TV is basically above the head of the shown staircase in the same room. It is occasionally opened for ventilation and is secured with a lock and a flowerpot. By the way, the floor consists of simple solid spruce boards, which also form the ceiling above the cooking and dining area from below.

I see that very differently. Convection and odors don’t match. Exhaust air is much better here; if you often sear, convection is unusable.

On the topic of kitchen islands: very few here have one, because an island is completely freestanding and not adjacent to a wall.

A second sink is only necessary if the kitchen design or the room does not offer a reasonable concept. So an emergency solution.

Is the bottom step cut out so that the door can open??
