Beko vs Fisher & Paykel Cooker Hoods

Beko offers the HCF61620X, a 60cm built-in chimney cooker hood in stainless steel priced at £279, which positions it as a value option. Fisher & Paykel is the premium choice, with Series 7 integrated insert hoods priced from £586 for the 60cm HP60IHCB4 to £677 for the 90cm HP90IHCB4.

The Beko HCF61620X is a practical hood with carbon filters, dishwasher-safe filters, three speed settings and a push-button control. Most Beko hoods are A+ rated, with extraction of up to 750 m³/hr, which is a useful benchmark for an average UK kitchen. Fisher & Paykel's approach is different: the extractor sits inside a custom canopy or cabinet, so nothing is visible above the hob. Both models in its range offer three speed settings with a boost, efficient LED lighting, and SmartHQ app connectivity over WiFi, so the real differences are the installation style and the level of finish.

Beko suits standard kitchens that want a built-in chimney hood at a modest price, with filters that are easy to clean in the dishwasher. Fisher & Paykel suits design-led kitchens where the hood is planned with a designer and built into a custom canopy, and buyers who want to control the hood from a phone. Plan the canopy or cabinet before buying, check ducting routes, and budget for professional installation on the Fisher & Paykel. A hood at least as wide as the hob is the usual rule, typically 60cm or 90cm for standard UK kitchens, so the 60cm HCF61620X suits a typical 60cm hob.

Bottom line: choose Beko if you want a stainless steel built-in chimney hood at £279 with dishwasher-safe filters; choose Fisher & Paykel if you want the extractor hidden inside a custom canopy with app control, from £586.
