Miele 600mm Wall Mounted Cooker Hood vs Active Stainless Steel Cooker Hood — Comparison

The Miele DAPUR68W 600mm Wall Mounted Cooker Hood costs £787 and sits as the higher-priced compact wall-mounted option in this Miele comparison. The Miele DAW1620EDST Active Stainless Steel Cooker Hood is £675, placing it slightly lower in price but with a broad and practical feature set.

DAPUR68W is specified as a 598mm-wide cooker hood with stainless steel finish, Miele CleanCover and a 650m3/h booster setting. DAW1620EDST lists a powerful 640 m3/h booster, timeless design, electronic control, LED illumination, variable speed settings and metal grease filters. The DAPUR68W has a marginally higher stated booster figure and the CleanCover detail, while the DAW1620EDST offers clearer control, lighting, speed and filter information for £112 less.

DAPUR68W suits buyers who specifically want the 598mm wall-mounted format and value the Miele CleanCover design for easier internal cleaning and a tidier finish. It also edges ahead on quoted booster output. DAW1620EDST suits shoppers who want stronger value, clear electronic control, LED illumination and metal grease filters, while accepting a slightly lower 640 m3/h booster. For most everyday kitchens, the cheaper model's fuller specification may be easier to justify. 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 DAPUR68W if you want a 598mm wall-mounted Miele hood with CleanCover and a 650m3/h booster setting / opt for DAW1620EDST if you want a cheaper stainless steel Active hood with 640 m3/h booster, electronic control, LED illumination, variable speeds and metal grease filters.
