Bosch Built-In Hood with 3 Speed Settings - Stainless Steel vs Built-in 80cm Cooker Hood - Black — Comparison

The DHL785CGB, the Bosch DHL785CGB Built-In Hood with 3 Speed Settings in stainless steel at £649, is the more expensive built-in option. The DWK85DK60B, the Bosch DWK85DK60B Built-in 80cm Cooker Hood in black at £399, is a lower-priced 80cm alternative with a more dramatic black finish. Both are built-in Bosch cooker hoods, but the DHL785CGB is focused on stainless-steel integrated extraction, while the DWK85DK60B adds stronger supplied performance and control details.

The DHL785CGB provides washable aluminium filters, 3 speed settings and a 700mm width. The DWK85DK60B offers 3 speed settings too, but adds an intensive speed setting, TouchSelect Control and a stated maximum extraction rate of 430 m3/h. It is also wider at 80cm compared with the DHL785CGB’s 700mm. No power or noise figure is supplied for either model, but the DWK85DK60B has the clearer extraction specification, while the DHL785CGB has the maintenance advantage of explicitly listed washable aluminium filters.

The DHL785CGB suits buyers who want a stainless built-in hood, a 700mm size and filter maintenance called out in the specification. It may work well in kitchens where a slimmer built-in unit is preferred. The DWK85DK60B suits buyers who want better stated value: it is £250 cheaper, wider, black, touch-controlled and lists 430 m3/h extraction. The trade-off is that washable filters are not specified in the supplied details.

Bottom line: "choose DHL785CGB if you want the stainless 700mm built-in hood with washable aluminium filters / opt for DWK85DK60B if you want the cheaper 80cm black model with TouchSelect and 430 m3/h extraction."
