• A:Answer Hello! Thank you for your question and interest in model #HDD80051UC. As there are six exhaust connections available for the downdraft system, its noise level can vary depending on which connection is used. In working speed, the Sones range from 1.4 to 2.5, while at high speed it ranges from 10.0 to 12.0 Sones. On Bosch's website, you can find the Product Specification Sheet for this model, which provides more detailed information. We hope this information is helpful and thank you for considering Bosch!

Q: QuestionI have an older one (?15 years) & the motor has gone bad so that unit will not raise up or retract down without helping it by pulling up or pushing down by hand. Fan works fine once it's up. Is this all I need to replace to get it to go up & down again?

Q: QuestionIs Bosch-800 Series30'' Telescopic Downdraft System included a blower also?

Asked 4 years ago by Lu.

• A:Answer No, there is no blower included. You have to purchase that separately. Which makes this a pricey item. But it does offer the flexibility to get an attached or a remote blower. And you have multiple options for the discharge on this unit (side, bottom, front or back) giving a lot of flexibility in how it’s installed. heath
