Hotpoint 700mm Chimney Cooker Hood vs Built-in Chimney Hood Vertical Glass - Black — Comparison

The Hotpoint PHC77FLBIX 700mm Chimney Cooker Hood costs £259 and sits as the practical stainless steel chimney option in Hotpoint's cooker hood range. The Hotpoint PHVP62FLMK Built-in Chimney Hood Vertical Glass in black is £299, so it occupies the slightly higher-priced position with a darker, more modern visual style.

PHC77FLBIX lists a 700mm chimney cooker hood body, 3 speed settings, a boost and silent function, LED lighting and a stainless steel finish. PHVP62FLMK lists booster mode, a touch display, LED lighting and touch controls. The PHC77FLBIX gives clearer information on speed count and quieter-use functionality, while the PHVP62FLMK offers the cleaner touch-control interface and the black vertical-glass appearance. Neither listing gives an extraction rate, so the comparison hinges on controls, styling and stated usability.

PHC77FLBIX is better for buyers who want a familiar stainless steel chimney hood with a defined 700mm width and a silent function for calmer everyday cooking. It also saves £40. PHVP62FLMK suits users building a black or glass-led kitchen scheme, or anyone who dislikes traditional buttons and wants touch operation. The extra spend is mainly for interface and appearance rather than a stated speed advantage. 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. The better choice is therefore the one that matches the planned hob width, cabinet opening and preferred control style, not simply the one with the longest product name.

Bottom line: choose PHC77FLBIX if you want the cheaper 700mm stainless steel hood with 3 speeds, boost and silent function / opt for PHVP62FLMK if you prefer black vertical glass, touch controls, a touch display and a more contemporary Hotpoint finish.
