Unilux Carbon Filters
These filters are so practical, we do not need the old traditional Flus that used to be the thing! Very easy to install and easy to care for.

Filter for kitchen hood
Our kitchen hood were leaking oil onto the cooktop. We tried cleaning the grill , but didn’t help since the oil residue was coming from the sucked in grease from the motor. Theses filters were perfect match and fitted on those. Now no grease flowing down from the hood

At a glance
The Unilux Active Carbon Filter Twin Pack is a practical replacement accessory for compatible recirculating rangehoods in busy home kitchens. It suits households using selected Chef, Simpson and Westinghouse models and helps reduce cooking odours and airborne oils. Its main strengths are straightforward replacement and twin-pack convenience. The main limitation is that it only suits specific rangehoods and needs regular replacement every 3 to 4 months with frequent cooking.
What it’s great for
- Reducing cooking odours
- Routine rangehood maintenance
- Recirculating rangehood setups
- Busy home kitchens
Where it works best
- Home kitchens
- Apartments
- Rentals
- Kitchens without external ducting
Who it’s for
- Home cooks
- Apartment dwellers
- Families
- Owners of compatible Chef Simpson or Westinghouse rangehoods
Things to consider
This filter is designed for selected compatible rangehoods only, and compared with ducted extraction or specialist premium filtration systems, it requires ongoing replacement to maintain odour control.
Compatibility with major brands
Selected Chef, Simpson and Westinghouse rangehoods
Ease of installation score
8/10 - replacement filter format is straightforward for compatible rangehoods, though model matching is important.
Maintenance convenience
Twin-pack format simplifies scheduled replacement, with one pack typically handling a full two-filter change.
Durability vs category average
7/10 - typical for carbon filters in this category, with replacement recommended every 3 to 4 months under frequent cooking.
Family suitability
Good for family kitchens with regular cooking, especially where recirculating rangehoods need ongoing odour control.
Key benefits
- Activated Carbon Filtration: Helps reduce cooking odours and airborne oils before recirculated air returns to the kitchen.
- Twin Pack Format: Typically covers one complete replacement for rangehoods that use two round carbon filters.
- Broad Brand Compatibility: Designed for selected Chef, Simpson and Westinghouse rangehoods that require carbon filtration.
- Recirculation Support: Suits rangehood setups where air is filtered and returned to the kitchen rather than externally ducted.
- Regular Replacement Friendly: Recommended replacement every 3 to 4 months with frequent cooking helps keep odour control performing as intended.
- Busy Kitchen Suitable: Well suited to homes with frequent cooking where regular carbon filter changes are part of normal maintenance.
- Compact Accessory Format: Made as a purpose-fit replacement accessory for compatible rangehood filter systems.
Q: Is the Unilux ULX251 carbon filter twin pack a universal fit for any rangehood?
A: No. The ULX251 is described as suitable for selected Chef, Simpson and Westinghouse rangehoods, not all models or brands. A carbon filter can look similar across products, but mounting style and diameter still need to match your rangehood.
Q: What type of rangehood is the Unilux ULX251 filter designed for?
A: This filter is intended for recirculating rangehoods that use activated carbon to treat air before it returns to the kitchen. It is not a replacement for a standard aluminium grease filter, which handles a different part of the filtration process.
Q: Does the twin pack include enough filters for one full replacement?
A: Usually yes. Many compatible rangehoods use two round carbon filters, so a twin pack commonly covers one complete change. The exact requirement still depends on your rangehood model, because some units use a different filter layout or quantity.
Q: What does activated carbon do in the Unilux ULX251 filter?
A: Activated carbon is used to reduce cooking odours from air that is being recirculated back into the kitchen. It also helps trap airborne oils and grease, but it is not the main grease barrier, so it works alongside the rangehood's other filter system.
Q: How often do Unilux ULX251 carbon filters typically need replacing?
A: A typical guide for carbon rangehood filters is about every 3 to 4 months with regular cooking, which aligns with common replacement cycles for this type. Heavy frying or frequent daily use can shorten that interval and reduce odour control sooner.
