AEG 5000 70cm ExtractionTech Cooker Hood - Stainless Steel vs 90cm Stainless Steel Hood With Touch Controls — Comparison

The AEG DGB3850M 5000 70cm ExtractionTech Cooker Hood in stainless steel is priced at £269 and sits as the value-focused AEG option in this pairing. The AEG DKB5960HM 90cm Stainless Steel Hood With Touch Controls costs £449, placing it higher in the range because it offers a larger body, a more prominent stainless steel finish and a modern control layout.

DGB3850M brings ExtractionTech, a 4 speed fan, extraction mode and a washable filter, which is a strong functional set at its price. DKB5960HM is specified at H 665-1175mm x W 898mm x D 500mm, with touch controls and an A-rated 55dB noise rating. The DGB3850M is a 70cm hood focused on core extraction, while the DKB5960HM is the wider 90cm choice with better stated refinement and easier fingertip control.

DGB3850M suits standard kitchens, smaller hob areas and buyers trying to keep the hood budget comfortably under £300 without losing 4 fan speeds or washable-filter convenience. It is the practical pick for a simple replacement or cost-controlled refurb. DKB5960HM suits anyone fitting a wider hob, wanting quieter-rated operation or preferring touch controls to a more basic interface, but its £180 premium needs the extra width to feel worthwhile. This is especially important with cooker hoods, because a model that is too narrow, noisy or awkward to control will feel like the wrong purchase even if the extraction feature list looks similar at first glance, and installation measurements can be harder to work around later.

Bottom line: choose DGB3850M if you want the cheaper 70cm AEG hood with ExtractionTech, 4 speeds and a washable filter / opt for DKB5960HM if you want a wider 90cm stainless steel hood with touch controls, a 55dB A rating and a more premium specification.
