AEG vs Hisense Cooker Hoods

AEG brings the broader range of stainless steel hoods to this comparison, priced from £269 for the 70cm DGB3850M to £499 for the 90cm DBE5961HG. Hisense is the value option, offering two black hoods: the 60cm CH6IN14BXBUK wall-mounted model at £224 and the 100cm Hi4 CH10IN14BBUK chimney hood at £249.

AEG offers more control on its larger models. The DKB5960HM at £449 combines touch controls with an A-rated 55dB noise level, and the DGE5861HM at £419 and DGB3850M at £269 share ExtractionTech, a four-speed fan, extraction mode and washable filters. The DBE5961HG adds SilenceTech with three speed settings. Hisense keeps the design simple: the CH10IN14BBUK uses perimetric suction, a washable grease filter, LED lighting and three speeds, while the CH6IN14BXBUK has an angled black glass chimney, two extraction options and three speeds. Hisense's Hi4 range is value-focused, with decorative styling at modest prices, so expect simpler controls than AEG offers.

Hisense suits modern kitchens with black ovens, hobs and splashbacks, and it is the obvious choice for a wide hob or range cooker, since the 100cm Hi4 covers a larger cooking area than the 60cm wall-mounted hood. AEG suits buyers who want a stainless steel finish to match other appliances, and anyone who values touch controls and quieter running. Check the noise rating at the highest speed on both, and decide between ducting outside and recirculation before buying. Many Hisense hoods can recirculate through carbon filters, so check each specification before choosing.

Bottom line: choose Hisense if you want a black finish for around £224 to £249 or a 100cm hood for a wide hob; choose AEG if you want stainless steel, touch controls and a 55dB A-rated 90cm hood for £449.
