Description
Bosch Series 2 60cm Wall-Mounted Inclined Glass Cooker Hood
A 60 cm inclined hood in black glass, rated class A for energy, with touch controls and an intensive setting that reaches 550 m³/h on demand.
The DWK65DK60B brings the inclined format down to a standard 60 cm kitchen. Instead of a canopy hanging flat above the hob, a panel of black printed glass tilts upward from the wall, which keeps the front edge out of your way while still drawing air from over the pans. It works as well in a compact galley as it does in a larger room.
For a hood of this size the numbers are strong: 430 m³/h on the normal settings when ducted, rising to 550 m³/h on the intensive step, all at energy efficiency class A. The TouchSelect panel is backlit and sits flush on the glass, and the intensive setting drops back to normal on its own after five minutes.
Ideal For
At 59 cm wide and only 32.5 cm deep, it takes up less visual space than a full chimney canopy while still covering a standard 60 cm hob.
Minimum clearance above an electric hob is 450 mm, lower than many chimney hoods allow, and the height adjusts from 69 cm to 90 cm when ducted.
Clear glass with a black print, matched with a backlit touch panel, ties in with black glass ovens and hobs rather than adding another stainless steel surface.
Key Features
Three power levels reach 430 m³/h when ducted outside, which is a healthy figure for a 60 cm hood dealing with everyday cooking.
The intensive setting adds a burst of extraction at 550 m³/h for smoke or heavy frying, then returns to the normal level after five minutes.
Rated class A overall at 43.8 kWh a year, with the blower and the lighting both earning A ratings on the EU energy label.
Backlit electronic touch controls sit flat on the glass front. There are no buttons or ridges to trap grease, so cleaning is one wipe.
A saturation indicator tracks both the metal grease filter and the charcoal filter, prompting you when either needs washing or replacing.
Two LEDs light the hob with 127 lux at 4,000 K, a crisp white that shows food colour clearly without warming the tone.
The case for an inclined hood
In a 60 cm kitchen the hood is often right in front of you, and a flat canopy at head height becomes something you work around. Tilting the face upward moves the front edge clear while keeping the intake close to the pans. Bosch permits mounting from 450 mm above an electric hob here, so you can set it low for capture without losing headroom. The glass front also reflects less kitchen clutter than a stainless canopy at eye level.
What class A means in practice
Cooker hoods are rated on the EU label like other appliances, and class A is the strongest banding this hood could achieve. Annual consumption is 43.8 kWh, with class A for the blower and class A for the lighting. Grease filtering sits at class E, which simply means the single metal filter needs washing regularly to keep working well. Since it is aluminium and dishwasher-safe, that is a case of dropping it into a normal cycle rather than tackling it by hand.
Ducting, recirculation and dimensions
The outlet is 150 mm. Ducted outside, you get 430 m³/h on the normal settings and 550 m³/h on intensive, at 60 and 65 dB(A) respectively. Recirculating with the optional DWZ1GK1U2 kit, the figures are 445 m³/h normal and 550 m³/h intensive, so performance holds up well without a duct run. The body is 59 cm wide and 32.5 cm deep, with height adjusting between 69 and 90 cm ducted or 72 and 97.5 cm recirculating. Minimum clearance is 450 mm over electric hobs and 650 mm over gas.
How It Compares
| Kitchen Need | Bosch Technology | Practical Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Small galley kitchens | 32.5 cm depth | A shallow inclined body intrudes less into a narrow kitchen than a deep chimney canopy. |
| Everyday cooking | 430 m³/h ducted | Three normal power levels handle daily steam and cooking smells without reaching for full power. |
| Heavy frying | 550 m³/h intensive | A short burst of extra airflow clears smoke, then the hood steps down automatically after five minutes. |
| Watching bills | Class A, 43.8 kWh | Low annual consumption for the airflow on offer, with the blower and lighting both rated A. |
| Greasy fingerprints | Flat glass touch panel | No raised buttons or ridges to catch grease, so the whole front wipes down in one pass. |
| Black glass appliances | Clear glass, black print | Matches black glass ovens and hobs instead of adding another stainless steel finish. |

The Verdict
Strengths
- 430 m³/h ducted, rising to 550 m³/h intensive
- Energy efficiency class A at 43.8 kWh a year
- Inclined glass front keeps headroom above the hob
- Backlit TouchSelect controls flush with the glass
- Saturation indicator for metal and charcoal filters
- Fits as low as 450 mm above an electric hob
- Washable metal grease filter, dishwasher-safe
Considerations
- Recirculating operation depends on the DWZ1GK1U2 kit, sold separately, since only the ducted parts are supplied with the hood.
- The single metal grease filter carries a class E grease filtering rating, so it needs washing on a regular schedule.
- Noise rises from 60 dB(A) at the top normal speed to 65 dB(A) when the intensive setting is running.
