Bosch Series 2 60cm Wall-Mounted Box-Design Chimney Cooker Hood
A 60 cm box-design chimney hood in stainless steel, extracting up to 365 m³/h through two metal filter cassettes and topping out at a moderate 63 dB.
Where the pyramid hood tapers, the DWB64BC50B keeps its lines square. This Series 2 box-design chimney hood is a flat-fronted stainless steel canopy that sits above a 60 cm hob, suiting kitchens with modern, straight-edged cabinetry. Wall-mounted with a telescopic chimney, it covers the hob fully and hides the ducting behind a clean vertical stack.
Underneath, two removable metal cassettes catch grease before it reaches the motor, and both are washable aluminium that can go in the dishwasher. The top ducted speed reaches 365 m³/h while measuring 63 dB(A), and a pair of 1.5 W LEDs put 99 lux of 3,500 K light on the cooking surface.
Ideal For
The flat, box-shaped canopy suits handleless and square-edged kitchens far better than a tapered hood, and the stainless steel finish sits comfortably beside other appliances.
At 63 dB(A) on its highest setting this is a comparatively restrained hood at full tilt, and the lower two of its three speeds are quieter again.
The telescopic chimney covers 63.5 to 96.5 cm when ducted, and stretches to 107.5 cm in recirculating installations, which gives real flexibility under a tall ceiling line.
Key Features
The top of three speeds pulls up to 365 m³/h when ducted outside, dealing with steam and frying smells from a full 60 cm hob.
Noise peaks at 63 dB(A) on the highest setting, so conversation and television do not have to stop when the hood goes to full power.
Two removable grease cassettes in washable aluminium slot out from underneath and can be cleaned in the dishwasher rather than scrubbed by hand.
Two 1.5 W LED lamps produce 99 lux at 3,500 K, a neutral light that shows food colour accurately while using very little power.
A straight-sided stainless steel canopy 60 cm wide and 50 cm deep, designed to line up with square-edged wall units instead of tapering away from them.
In recirculating installations with the Clean Air Plus kit, filtered air returns to the room at up to 240 m³/h through the chimney.
Why a box hood suits square kitchens
Pyramid hoods slope inward, which reads as traditional next to modern cabinetry. The box design keeps a constant depth from front to back, so the canopy lines up with the bottom edge of your wall units and the chimney rises as a plain vertical column. It is a small visual difference that matters in a kitchen full of straight lines, and the 50 cm depth means the canopy covers the back and front rings of a 60 cm hob rather than just hovering over the back.
Two cassettes, one dishwasher cycle
Grease is the real maintenance job with any hood. Here it is caught by two removable metal cassettes in washable aluminium, which release from the underside and go into the dishwasher on a normal cycle. Two smaller cassettes are easier to handle than one large panel, particularly when they are greasy, and they fit a dishwasher basket without a fight. Keeping them clean also keeps the airflow up, which is why regular washing is worth the small effort.
Planning the ducting and the height
Ducted installation uses a 150 mm outlet, with a 120 mm option enclosed, and gives the full 365 m³/h. If ducting outside is not an option, a recirculation kit sends filtered air back into the room, and the Clean Air Plus kit raises that to 240 m³/h. Height needs planning too: the chimney spans 63.5 to 96.5 cm ducted and up to 107.5 cm recirculating, and Bosch requires at least 550 mm of clearance above an electric hob, or 650 mm above gas.
How It Compares
| Kitchen Need | Bosch Technology | Practical Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Square-edged kitchens | Box-design canopy | The flat front and constant depth line up with modern wall units rather than tapering away. |
| Open-plan noise | 63 dB(A) maximum | Full extraction stays at a level that does not force everyone in the room to raise their voice. |
| Heavy frying | 365 m³/h top speed | Draws smoke and grease-laden air away quickly before it can spread through the house. |
| Routine cleaning | 2 dishwasher-safe cassettes | Both grease filters lift out and wash in the dishwasher, so no scrubbing at the sink. |
| No duct route | Clean Air Plus kit | Recirculating installation returns filtered air to the kitchen at up to 240 m³/h. |
| Tall ceilings | Up to 107.5 cm | The chimney extends further in recirculating mode, covering ceiling heights a fixed stack would not. |

The Verdict
Strengths
- Up to 365 m³/h extraction in ducted installation
- Moderate 63 dB(A) at the highest speed
- Two washable aluminium cassettes, both dishwasher-safe
- Flat box design suits square-edged modern kitchens
- Two 1.5 W LEDs give 99 lux at 3,500 K
- Chimney covers 63.5 to 96.5 cm when ducted
- Convertible between ducted and recirculating operation
Considerations
- Recirculating operation needs a kit bought separately, and reaches 240 m³/h only when the Clean Air Plus kit is fitted.
- Controls are mechanical push buttons across three speeds, without electronic timers or a filter saturation indicator.
- Energy efficiency class D, 53.1 kWh a year, with blower efficiency rated E and grease filtering C.
