ORU52MB 52cm Integrated Rangehood
Overview
The Omega ORU52MB is a 52cm undermount rangehood in Matte Black — a deliberately minimal, design-conscious kitchen ventilation appliance for compact and contemporary Australian kitchens that want powerful extraction without visual bulk. The matte black fascia and filter coordinate directly with Omega's Midnight appliance range and any dark-finish kitchen hardware; the concealed slide switch controls sit flush within the rangehood face for a seamlessly uncluttered appearance; and the undermount installation positions the rangehood permanently under the overhead cabinet in a fixed, low-profile 254mm body that stays out of the line of sight. At 683 m³/hr net extraction from a 265W motor — the same motor used in the ORC93XA 90cm canopy rangehood — the ORU52MB delivers extraction power that is meaningfully higher than many undermount models of comparable size. Two 3W LED lights provide bright, efficient cooktop illumination; one aluminium mesh grease filter is washable and easily removed for cleaning; and ducted extraction exhausts cooking air directly to the outside for the freshest kitchen air quality. Backed by Omega's 3-year parts and labour warranty. Priced at $699 RRP, designed and engineered in Australia by Residentia Group.
Features
52cm Matte Black Undermount Design
- The undermount format mounts permanently under the overhead cabinet above the cooktop with a fixed 254mm body height — compact, discreet, and fully concealed within the cabinetry line when viewed from the front
- The matte black fascia and matching matte black aluminium mesh filter create a cohesive, single-finish face that blends into dark cabinetry, dark hardware, and Omega's Midnight oven and cooktop range
- Matte black resists fingerprint visibility significantly better than gloss black or stainless steel — the face stays looking cleaner between wipes in an active kitchen
- No moving parts, no slide mechanism, no chimney flue — the undermount design is the simplest possible rangehood format: fixed, hidden, functional
683 m³/hr Net Extraction — 265W Motor
- 683 m³/hr of net airflow from a 265W motor — the same motor used in the ORC93XA 90cm canopy rangehood, delivering notably higher extraction power than many undermount models of this size
- The 1000 m³/hr gross airflow confirms strong internal fan performance before filter and duct losses are applied
- Three fan speeds match extraction intensity to what is cooking: low speed for everyday simmering, medium for general cooking, high for wok cooking, frying, and high-heat grilling
- 10 amp 3-pin plug connection — no hardwiring required for the electrical supply
Concealed Slide Switch Controls — Front Centre
- Slide switch controls are located at the centre front of the rangehood body — concealed within the profile of the fascia for a seamlessly minimal appearance
- Two slide switches operate independently: one selects fan speed across three settings, the other controls the LED lighting
- No visible buttons, no protruding controls, no digital displays — the control interface is as minimal as the design
2 × 3W LED Lights — Bright, Energy-Efficient
- Two 3W LED lights provide bright, directed illumination of the cooktop surface — at 3W each, these are notably brighter than the 1.5–2W LED found in lower-specification rangehoods
- LED technology consumes minimal energy, generates very little heat into the kitchen environment, and has a long operational lifespan without globe replacement
- The two-light configuration illuminates the full 52cm cooktop width for clear visibility across all cooking zones during any session
1 × Washable Aluminium Mesh Grease Filter
- A single aluminium mesh grease filter captures airborne grease and oil particles before they reach the fan motor and ducting
- Removable from the front of the rangehood without tools for straightforward access
- Washable and dishwasher safe — Omega recommends periodic cleaning to maintain the 683 m³/hr extraction performance over the rangehood's working life
Ducted Installation
- The ORU52MB is designed primarily for ducted installation — cooking air is extracted from the kitchen and exhausted externally via the duct connection
- Ducted extraction is the most effective ventilation method, removing all cooking air, steam, and odour from the kitchen rather than recirculating it through filters
- Installed by a licensed electrician with a duct connection to an external wall or roof penetration
54–68 dBa Noise Range
- 54 dBa at the lowest fan speed for quiet everyday extraction
- 68 dBa at maximum speed during intensive cooking sessions — the trade-off for the 683 m³/hr extraction capacity in a compact 265W motor format

Benefits
683 m³/hr in a 52cm Undermount – Extraction power that matches or exceeds many 60cm and 90cm canopy rangehoods in a compact 52cm undermount format — the ORU52MB doesn't compromise on performance for its size
Matte Black Stays Cleaner Between Wipes – The matte finish resists fingerprint and smudge visibility far better than gloss or stainless alternatives — the rangehood face looks presentable between cleaning sessions in a busy kitchen
Controls You Can't See – Concealed slide switches sit flush within the fascia profile with no visible protrusion or separate button housing — the cleanest possible control interface for an under-cabinet rangehood
Brighter LEDs Than Most – 2 × 3W LED is meaningfully brighter cooktop illumination than the 1.5–2W found in lower-spec models — better visibility for detailed cooking tasks and evening sessions
Same Motor as the 90cm Canopy – The 265W motor in the ORU52MB is the same unit used in the ORC93XA 90cm canopy rangehood — a motor selected for extraction power applied to a compact undermount format
Minimal Design, Maximum Compatibility – Matte black coordinates with Omega Midnight ovens and cooktops, black dishwashers, and any dark hardware in a contemporary kitchen without clashing with any other finish
