ORU70XL 60cm Undermount Rangehood
Overview
The Omega ORU70XL is a 70cm undermount rangehood in Stainless Steel — the mid-point in the Omega undermount stainless steel range, delivering 820 m³/hr of net airflow from a 265W motor across a 70cm extraction width with two five-layer aluminium mesh filters, a charcoal filter included as standard for recirculating use, backlit push button controls, and 2×3W LED cooktop lighting. The step from the 52cm ORU50XL is substantial: 208 m³/hr more extraction, a 75W more powerful motor, a second filter, a wider 70cm coverage footprint, brighter LEDs, and the charcoal filter at no extra cost rather than as an optional purchase. At 51–66 dBa across three fan speeds, the ORU70XL starts at the same quiet low-speed noise as the ORU50XL (51 dBa) but reaches 66 dBa at maximum rather than the ORU50XL's 58 dBa — the trade-off for its significantly greater extraction capacity. The same 254mm body height and 296mm depth install in the same way under standard overhead cabinetry, with a 10 amp 3-pin plug connection and a 150mm duct diameter for ducted connection. Designed and engineered in Australia by Residentia Group. Backed by a 3-year in-house warranty.
Features
70cm Width — Wider Coverage
- 700mm wide extraction surface provides coverage across a 70cm cooktop or a 60cm cooktop with additional margin, ensuring no cooking vapour escapes past the outer edge of any burner or zone
- The 70cm format suits kitchens with a 70cm cooktop, or as an oversized extraction solution for a 60cm cooktop where broader coverage is preferred
- Same 254mm body height and 296mm depth as the ORU50XL — installs under standard overhead cabinetry in the same way
820 m³/hr Net Extraction — 265W Motor
- 820 m³/hr of net airflow from a 265W motor — the same powerful motor used in the ORU52MB and ORC93XA, now applied to a 70cm stainless steel undermount
- 208 m³/hr more net extraction than the ORU50XL (612 m³/hr), making the ORU70XL substantially more capable for intensive multi-burner cooking scenarios, wok cooking, frying, and grilling
- Three fan speeds adjust extraction from gentle low-speed everyday simmering to full 820 m³/hr high-speed extraction for the most intensive cooking tasks
Charcoal Filter Included — Recirculating Ready
- A charcoal/carbon filter is included as standard with the ORU70XL — not a separately purchased optional accessory as with the ORU50XL (ORCF110)
- The included charcoal filter enables immediate recirculating installation in kitchens without external ducting access, without an additional accessory purchase
- Combined with the two aluminium mesh filters, the full recirculating filtration system is complete out of the box
Two × Five-Layer Aluminium Mesh Grease Filters
- Two five-layer aluminium mesh grease filters span the 70cm extraction opening — one more filter than the ORU50XL's single filter, and with five-layer depth for thorough grease capture
- Both filters are removable for cleaning — washable by hand or in the dishwasher
- Two filters across the wider 70cm opening provide consistent grease capture across the full extraction width
Backlit Push Button Controls
- Backlit push buttons are visible in low-light kitchen conditions — a refinement over the standard (non-backlit) push buttons of the ORU50XL
- The backlight illuminates the controls during use and dims when not needed
- Three speed buttons and an independent light button provide direct, tactile operation across all functions
2 × 3W LED Lights — Brighter Than ORU50XL
- Two 3W LED lights provide twice the LED wattage of the ORU50XL's 2 × 1.5W, delivering brighter cooktop illumination across the 70cm cooking surface
- LED technology consumes minimal energy, generates very little heat, and has a long operational lifespan
- Independent control from the fan via the backlit button panel
51–66 dBa Noise Range
- Starts at 51 dBa at the lowest speed — as quiet as the ORU50XL at low speed
- Reaches 66 dBa at maximum speed — 8 dBa higher than the ORU50XL's 58 dBa maximum, which is the expected result of the 265W motor's higher extraction capacity
- Still within a comfortable range for kitchen use at maximum
Ducted or Recirculating Installation
- Ducted: Primary installation type — air exhausted externally via the 150mm duct connection
- Recirculating: Enabled by the included charcoal filter — no additional purchase required, no external ducting needed
- 10 amp 3-pin plug — no hardwiring required for the electrical connection

Benefits
820 m³/hr in a 70cm Stainless Undermount – A meaningful extraction capacity step above the ORU50XL and into the same power tier as the ORU52MB matte black model — but in stainless steel, at 70cm width
Charcoal Filter Already in the Box – Recirculating installation requires no additional accessory purchase — the included charcoal filter and the two aluminium mesh filters provide the complete filtration system from day one
Two Filters for Two Zones – Two five-layer filters across the 70cm opening mean the left and right halves of the extraction area each have dedicated grease capture — more consistent performance than a single filter across a wider body
Starts as Quietly as the ORU50XL – At 51 dBa low speed, the ORU70XL is no noisier than the quieter entry-level model at everyday cooking intensity — the noise increase only appears at full extraction when you actually need 820 m³/hr
Backlit Controls at Any Hour – Backlit push buttons are visible during morning and evening cooking in a dimly lit kitchen without searching for the controls by feel
3W LEDs Over a 70cm Surface – Brighter LED output than the ORU50XL, spread across the wider 70cm cooking surface for consistently lit visibility at every burner position
