Find the perfect Bosch cooker hood dimensions for your kitchen.

Choosing the right hood dimensions ensures your kitchen stays fresh, safe, and efficient. Bosch explains cooked hood width, height, and installation tips, helping you select a cooker hood that fits perfectly and performs at its best.

Choose the right Bosch hood

Getting the hood dimensions right makes all the difference.

The perfect fit starts with width. Ensure your hood matches or exceeds your hob to extract steam and odours effectively from all burners.

Cooker hood width: the key to perfect kitchen performance

Cooker hood width is key to effective extraction. Match or exceed your hob width — especially for induction, where a hood the same size or wider gives more reliable removal of steam, odours and grease. Bosch hoods are available in 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 120 cm. Recommended pairings:
  • 60 cm hob: 60 cm or wider hood
  • 80 cm hob: 80 cm or wider hood
  • 90 cm hob: 90 cm or wider hood

Cooker hood height: Safety and performance start here.

The correct height of your cooker hood above the hob is essential for efficient extraction and safe cooking. Installing it too low or too high can compromise performance and, in the case of gas hobs, pose a safety risk.

  • Install safely: position your hood at the correct height above the hob - 45 cm for electric or induction. Always follow the instructions in your Bosch hood installation manual.
  • Maximise performance: too low blocks cooking space and creates safety risks. Too high reduces extraction efficiency, leaving steam and odours behind.
  • Fit perfectly: choose a hood depth that covers all front burners and ensure ceiling height allows correct installation for chimney hoods.

Tip: Correct width, height and depth together ensure your Bosch cooker hood performs at its best while keeping your kitchen safe and comfortable.

Choose the right Bosch cooker hood for your kitchen.

Choose the right style for your UK kitchen:
  • Wall-mounted: a striking focal point with powerful extraction. Common widths 60–90 cm — ideal for a statement cooker hood
  • Built-in (integrated): hides inside cabinetry for a minimalist look. Fits standard cabinet widths of 50, 60, 70 and 90 cm
  • Ceiling/island: flush-mounted for open‑plan or larger kitchens — unobtrusive and elegant
  • Venting (downdraft) hob: built‑in extractor removes steam and odours at source, so no overhead hood is needed.
Tip: pick the type that suits your layout, hob position and ceiling height, and follow Bosch instructions plus UK Gas Safe guidance for gas installations.

Beyond dimensions: What makes a cooker hood truly effective.

Getting the right size matters, but also check extraction efficiency, noise and ventilation type — UK tips:
  • Extraction rate: aim for about 10 air changes per hour — kitchen volume (m3) × 10 = required m3/h.
  • Ducting vs recirculation: ducted hoods vent outside for best odour and moisture removal; recirculating hoods (with filters) are a practical choice in flats or where external venting isn’t possible
  • Noise: choose quieter models for a calmer kitchen — Bosch hoods balance strong extraction with low noise.
  • Filters: if using recirculation, use high‑quality charcoal filters and replace them regularly for best results.
