Bosch Built-in 80cm Cooker Hood - Black vs Series 4 Wall-mounted 90cm Cooker Hood — Comparison

The DWK85DK60B, the Bosch DWK85DK60B Built-in 80cm Cooker Hood in black at £399, is the lower-priced and slightly narrower option. The DWQ96DM50B, the Bosch DWQ96DM50B Series 4 Wall-mounted 90cm Cooker Hood at £549, sits higher in price and uses a wider slim pyramid wall-mounted design. Both are Bosch cooker hoods with TouchSelect control and an intensive speed setting, but they suit different kitchen layouts.

The DWK85DK60B lists 3 speed settings, an intensive speed setting, TouchSelect Control and a maximum extraction rate of 430 m3/h. Its 80cm width makes it a better fit above many standard or compact hob areas. The DWQ96DM50B is a 90cm wall-mounted Series 4 slim pyramid hood with LED illumination, TouchSelect control and an intensive speed setting. Its supplied details do not state extraction rate, noise or power, but the wider 90cm format gives it a stronger visual presence over larger hobs. The DWK85DK60B’s clear 430 m3/h figure is useful for comparing ventilation expectations.

The DWK85DK60B suits buyers who want a black 80cm hood, a lower £399 price and a stated extraction figure. It is also a good match where width is limited. The DWQ96DM50B suits kitchens with a 90cm cooking area, stainless or modern styling, and a desire for visible LED-lit chimney-style design. The trade-off is a £150 higher price and fewer supplied performance figures.

Bottom line: "choose DWK85DK60B if you want an 80cm black hood with 430 m3/h extraction for £399 / opt for DWQ96DM50B if you need a wider 90cm Series 4 wall-mounted slim pyramid hood with LED illumination."
