AEG 77cm Cooker Wood - Stainless Steel vs 90cm Stainless Steel Hood With Touch Controls — Comparison

The AEG DGE5861HM 77cm Cooker Hood in stainless steel, priced at £419, sits in AEG's cooker hood line-up as a mid-range ExtractionTech option for standard or slightly wider hob spaces. The AEG DKB5960HM 90cm Stainless Steel Hood With Touch Controls costs £449 and sits just above it as the broader, more control-led model for a larger cooking zone.

DGE5861HM is specified with ExtractionTech, a 4 speed fan, extraction mode and a washable filter, so its strengths are airflow flexibility and easier filter care. DKB5960HM gives fuller installation detail at H 665-1175mm x W 898mm x D 500mm, adds touch controls and lists an A-rated 55dB noise rating. The key trade-off is therefore between the DGE5861HM's published 4 speed fan package and the DKB5960HM's 90cm width, quieter-rated running and slicker controls.

DGE5861HM suits buyers who want an AEG hood with the named ExtractionTech system but do not need a full 90cm canopy. It is only £30 cheaper, so it makes most sense when the 77cm size is the better cabinet fit. DKB5960HM suits wider hobs, open-plan kitchens and spec-conscious shoppers who want touch operation, a clearly stated noise figure and a larger stainless steel presence above the hob. 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 DGE5861HM if you want a 77cm AEG hood with ExtractionTech, 4 speeds and washable-filter practicality at £419 / opt for DKB5960HM if you need a 90cm stainless steel hood with touch controls, an A-rated 55dB noise rating and broader visual coverage for £449.
