Designed to mimic the look of a traditional updraft range hood, the Bosch 30-Inch Traditional Wall Updraft Range Hood in Stainless Steel DAH9505UC has many upgrades that help to justify its untraditionally high price. This effective and versatile unit offers the option of either an internal or external blower. Opt for the internal blower and the unit vents as mounted. Choose the external blower and mount it some distance away to increase draw and lessen noise output.

In addition to these functional differences, the DAH9505UC offers a heavier and sturdier build than you might expect, especially if your experience is limited to hoods that are over 5-10 years of age. In the last few years the market for ventilation products has changed dramatically, in part due to the increased popularity of commercially influenced cooking products. As a result, more fully featured hoods like this one are being offered. In this case a high-heat sensor automatically activates the ventilator when cooking heat is sensed. Halogen surface lighting adds further to the convenience and ease of using this model by providing excellent, bright lighting.

Equipped with centrally mounted electronic controls, this model is accurate and adjustable to the cooking task at hand. The two dishwasher safe filters are simple to remove and easy to care for. This model can be vented to the outside or may be used in a re-circulating installation. Easy to install, this model can be hung on the included mounting hook, which ensures accurate hanging and minimal errors. Select the Bosch Traditional Wall Updraft Range Hood DAH9505UC for instances requiring 7 inches round horizontal or vertical discharge.


Pros: moderately priced by today's standards, halogen lighting, uses internal or external blower
Cons: price of this hood is expensive by former standards
