ORU50XL 60cm Undermount Rangehood
Overview
The Omega ORU50XL is a 52cm undermount rangehood in Stainless Steel — the entry-level, universally compatible alternative to the matte black ORU52MB, prioritising quiet operation, everyday extraction capability, and the timeless stainless steel finish that integrates with any kitchen aesthetic at a more accessible price point of $399. At 51–58 dBa across three fan speeds, the ORU50XL is meaningfully quieter than the ORU52MB (54–68 dBa), powered by a 190W motor delivering 612 m³/hr of net airflow for everyday cooking ventilation across a 52cm cooktop. Two 1.5W LED lights illuminate the cooktop surface; a five-layer aluminium mesh grease filter is removable and washable; push button controls on the front face operate the three fan speeds and lighting; and both ducted and recirculating installation options are supported — with an optional charcoal filter (ORCF110, sold separately) enabling recirculating use for kitchens without external ducting access. Designed and engineered in Australia by Residentia Group, the ORU50XL has the same 254mm body height and 296mm depth as the ORU52MB for identical under-cabinet installation dimensions. Backed by a 3-year in-house warranty.
Features
52cm Stainless Steel Undermount — Universal Finish
- Stainless steel finish is the most universally compatible kitchen appliance material — integrates with any cabinetry colour, any benchtop material, and any appliance combination without requiring a design commitment to a dark-finish kitchen
- The undermount profile mounts permanently under the overhead cabinet in a fixed 254mm body that sits flush with the cabinetry underside — always in position, always ready, with no slide-out mechanism
- Stainless steel wipes clean with a damp cloth or stainless steel cleaner for periodic maintenance
612 m³/hr Net Extraction — 190W Motor
- 612 m³/hr of net airflow from a 190W motor — appropriate for everyday cooking ventilation across a compact 52cm cooktop in typical household kitchens
- 700 m³/hr gross extraction capacity confirms effective fan performance at the motor level before filter and duct losses are applied
- The 190W motor is quieter and draws less power than the 265W unit in the ORU52MB — the trade-off for the ORU50XL's lower noise levels and reduced running cost
51–58 dBa — The Quieter Undermount
- 51 dBa at the lowest fan speed — the quietest operation in the Omega undermount range
- 58 dBa at maximum speed — well below the ORU52MB's 68 dBa maximum, making the ORU50XL significantly quieter at every speed setting
- Suitable for open-plan living areas, apartments, and kitchens adjacent to sleeping areas where noise matters during morning and evening use
- Three fan speeds provide appropriate extraction from the quietest simmer to everyday cooking at high
Push Button Controls
- Front-mounted push button controls — two buttons operating fan speed selection across three settings and LED lighting independently
- Simple, direct operation with no digital interface, no slide mechanism, and no mode navigation
- Controls are accessible from the front of the rangehood for easy in-reach operation during cooking
1 × Five-Layer Aluminium Mesh Grease Filter
- A single five-layer aluminium mesh filter provides more filtration depth than a standard single-layer mesh for effective grease capture across the full 52cm extraction opening
- Removable without tools from the front of the rangehood for periodic maintenance
- Washable and dishwasher safe — regular cleaning maintains the 612 m³/hr extraction performance over the rangehood's working life
2 × 1.5W LED Lights
- Two 1.5W LED lights provide energy-efficient cooktop illumination during cooking
- LED technology consumes minimal energy, generates very little heat, and has a long operational lifespan
- Switched independently from the fan via the push button panel
Ducted or Recirculating — Optional Charcoal Filter
- Ducted: Air is exhausted externally via the 150mm duct diameter — the primary and most effective installation type
- Recirculating: Optional ORCF110 charcoal filter (sold separately) removes odours before returning air to the kitchen — for kitchens without external ducting access
- Both installation options from the same rangehood — the type is selected at fit-out time
Same Physical Format as ORU52MB
- H254mm × W520mm × D296mm — identical installation dimensions to the ORU52MB matte black model
- The ORU50XL can replace the ORU52MB (or vice versa) in the same cabinet cut-out without modification

Benefits
51–58 dBa — The Quietest Omega Undermount – The ORU50XL's 190W motor operates at 51 dBa at its lowest setting and 58 dBa at maximum — meaningfully quieter than the ORU52MB's 54–68 dBa range at every speed
Stainless Steel Works With Everything – No design commitment required — stainless steel coordinates with any cabinetry colour, hardware finish, or kitchen aesthetic without the specific styling requirements of a matte black finish
$399 — The Accessible Undermount – At $300 less than the ORU52MB, the ORU50XL delivers the same 52cm undermount format, same physical installation dimensions, and everyday extraction capability at the most accessible price in the Omega undermount range
Recirculating With the ORCF110 – The optional charcoal filter means the ORU50XL can serve kitchens without external ducting — the installation flexibility to cover any kitchen layout without requiring a different rangehood model
Five-Layer Filter for Better Grease Capture – The five-layer aluminium mesh provides more filtration depth than a standard single-layer mesh — more thorough grease capture with the same washable, dishwasher-safe maintenance
Same Cabinet Dimensions as ORU52MB – An exact dimensional match means the ORU50XL and ORU52MB are interchangeable in the same installation — upgrade finish or capability at any point without cabinetry modification
