Falmec Lumina NRS CLMN20.00P2#NROI490F – 120 cm Wall Cooker Hood Black Glass Steel Chimney NRS Technology – Review

The Falmec Lumina NRS CLMN20.00P2#NROI490F (EAN 8034122348148) is a 120 cm wall-mounted cooker hood from the Lumina NRS collection by Falmec S.p.A. (Via dell'Artigianato 42, 31029 Vittorio Veneto, TV), manufactured in Italy. The hood features a characteristic inverted T-shape, with a structure in AISI 304 stainless steel with Scotch Brite finish, a black tempered glass front panel, and a stainless steel chimney. Main dimensions are width 120 cm, depth 48 cm, body height approx. 59 cm (chimney approx. 110 cm); weight is 41 kg. The technological heart is the patented NRS® (Noise Reduction System), developed by Falmec in collaboration with fluid dynamics specialists, reducing noise by up to 86% compared to a conventional hood: the sound level ranges from a minimum of 37 dB(A) (minimum speed) to a maximum of 46 dB(A) (maximum speed) re 1 pW. Suction is perimeter-type. The motor delivers an airflow of 800 m³/h with a maximum consumption of 320 W – 220-240 V – 50-60 Hz. Controls are via a touch panel with 3 speeds + boost function. The 24h function activates an automatic recirculation cycle: 1 hour of operation at minimum speed, 3 hours pause, repeating until manually deactivated. The hood features Dialogue System: it communicates via radio frequency with compatible Falmec induction hobs, automatically adjusting suction power based on cooking intensity, without additional receiver devices in the hood. Lighting is via a neon 1 × 28 W – 6500 K (cold white ambient light). The 274 × 274 mm metal grease filters are removable and washable, included in the box. The regenerable Carbon.Zeo Microtech KACL.1039 carbon filter is available as an optional accessory for recirculation mode. Energy class is B. Minimum distances from the hob are 52 cm for electric hobs and 65 cm for gas hobs.

Assessment

The Falmec Lumina NRS CLMN20.00P2#NROI490F is one of Falmec's flagship proposals for those seeking a 120 cm wall hood combining high performance and extreme quietness. The NRS® technology, developed with fluid dynamics specialists, dramatically reduces operating noise: the 37 dB(A) at minimum speed and 46 dB(A) at maximum speed are exceptional figures for an 800 m³/h hood, placing the Lumina NRS among the quietest hoods on the market. The black glass / steel chimney combination makes it particularly suited to modern kitchens with stainless steel appliances and dark surfaces. Perimeter suction ensures effective capture of steam and odours from all directions. The Dialogue System with compatible Falmec induction hobs adds intelligent automation, making kitchen management more convenient and optimising consumption. The 24h function enables continuous air renewal even in the cook's absence. Energy class B is consistent with the performance profile: a hood of this segment and capacity rarely exceeds class B in the efficiency-to-capacity ratio. Worth noting is the 41 kg weight: installation requires a robust wall and professional fitting.

FAQ

What is the difference between the Falmec Lumina NRS CLMN20.00P2#NROI490F (black glass) and the CLMN20.00P2#NEUI490F variant (steel glass)?
Both variants have identical technical specifications: same AISI 304 structure, same NRS® technology, same 800 m³/h motor, same touch panel, same dimensions (120 cm × 48 cm) and same weight (41 kg). The difference is purely aesthetic: the NROI490F variant (EAN 8034122348148) has a black tempered glass front panel, while the NEUI490F variant has a front panel with a stainless steel finish. Both feature a stainless steel chimney.

Does the Lumina NRS Dialogue System work with any induction hob?
No. The Dialogue System is a Falmec proprietary technology that communicates via radio frequency exclusively with compatible Falmec induction hobs. With other manufacturers' hobs, the hood works normally in manual mode, but automatic suction adjustment based on cooking power is not available. No additional receiver devices need to be installed in the hood for use with compatible Falmec hobs.

Is the Carbon.Zeo Microtech KACL.1039 carbon filter reusable?
Yes. The Carbon.Zeo Microtech KACL.1039 is a regenerable carbon filter: it can be regenerated through a domestic oven cycle, eliminating the need for periodic replacement. This is both an environmental and economic advantage over traditional disposable carbon filters. The filter is not included in the standard package and must be purchased separately for use in recirculation mode.
