AEG vs Rangemaster Cooker Hoods

AEG offers the DGB3850M 70cm at £269, the DGE5861HM 77cm at £419, the DKB5960HM 90cm at £449 and the DBE5961HG 90cm at £499. Rangemaster covers the LEIHDC90BB 898mm chimney at £309, the CLAHDC90BC 900mm classic chimney at £399, the CLAHDC110BC 1100mm classic at £425 and the RMHDT90SS 900mm chimney with variable speeds at £549. Both ranges include stainless steel finishes.

The AEG models focus on ExtractionTech, washable grease filters and 4-speed fans, with the DBE5961HG adding SilenceTech and LED lights. Rangemaster's technology is more about width and style. The classic chimney models include a built-in light and a charcoal filter for recirculation on the CLAHDC90BC, and the RMHDT90SS offers variable speed settings. Rangemaster quotes extraction up to 625m³/h across its range, which is a useful benchmark when checking whether a hood suits your hob.

AEG suits a buyer who wants the widest choice of 70cm to 90cm sizes with washable filters and a 4-speed fan. Rangemaster suits a kitchen where the hood is a design feature matched to a range cooker, with the 1100mm classic hood fitting a wide cooker and the 900mm chimney models fitting a standard set-up. Its finishes, including stainless steel and black glass, are designed to coordinate with Rangemaster cookers. AEG's 90cm models are the closest match to Rangemaster's 900mm chimneys, so a direct comparison is straightforward. Rangemaster's classic 110cm model suits a larger cooker, while AEG's 70cm model suits a smaller hob.

Bottom line: choose AEG if you want a 70cm to 90cm hood with ExtractionTech and touch controls from £269 to £499. Choose Rangemaster if you need a wide chimney hood to match a range cooker, from £309 to £549, with the 1100mm model at £425.
