Bosch DUL 62FA51 stainless steel

The Bosch visor hood of the 2020 model, belongs to the category of affordable all-purpose solutions for small and medium-sized kitchens. It allows for two installation options — wall-mounted or integrated directly into the bottom of the hanging cabinet above the stove surface, simplifying device integration into an existing kitchen layout. The stainless steel body with a width of 60 cm and a minimal height of only 15 cm does not occupy extra useful cabinet space.

The Bosch DUL 62FA51 kitchen hood is equipped with a single motor of 115 W power with a capacity of 250 m³/h — modest performance designed for everyday cooking without intensive loads. Thus, it may not suffice for a large kitchen or frequent frying scenarios — an aspect worth considering during selection. The hood supports both operating modes: venting into the duct and recirculation, for which a compatible carbon filter needs to be purchased separately.

It's important to consider the non-standard 120 mm duct diameter instead of the more common 150 mm, influencing the choice of pipes and adapters. Basic filtration is provided by a reusable metal grease filter capable of regular washing. The control is implemented through a mechanical slider switch — a straightforward solution without excessive electronics, switching three speeds and lighting. Noise levels range from 53 to 68 dB. Illumination is provided by a 4 W LED lamp. Energy efficiency class is D, reflecting the model's basic positioning.
