Description
Bosch Series 6 60cm Built-In Cooker Hood with Smart Hood Automatic
A matt black integrated hood rated A+ for energy, with Smart Hood Automatic letting a connected hob set the fan speed while you cook.
The DBB67DP60B is a Series 6 integrated design hood that flush-fits into a 60 cm wall cupboard, with a matt black glass panel as the only part on show. It suits a planned kitchen where extraction should be present but not visible, and where the hob and hood are expected to work as one system.
Its defining feature is Smart Hood Automatic. Over Home Connect, a compatible hob tells the hood what is happening in the pans and the fan speed follows, rising for a hard sear and settling back for a simmer. Extraction runs to 433 m³/h normally and 699 m³/h on intensive.
Ideal For
With a Home Connect account and a compatible hob, Smart Hood Automatic, hob-based hood control, voice control and performance profiles all become available from a phone or from the hob itself.
SilentPowerDrive runs at 42 dB(A) on speed one and 57 dB(A) on speed three, which keeps background noise reasonable in an open-plan room where the kitchen is also the living space.
An A+ energy class and 27.2 kWh a year come from a 115 W connection rating, so a hood that runs through every meal is not adding much to the bill.
Key Features
Linked over Home Connect to a compatible hob, the hood sets its own fan speed as the cooking changes, so extraction matches what is actually happening on the hob.
The SilentPowerDrive blower earns an A+ energy class with annual consumption of 27.2 kWh, from a total connection rating of 115 W for fan and lights.
Everyday running is quiet: 42 dB(A) on the first stage and 57 dB(A) on the third, with intensive reaching 68 dB(A) when you need it.
Three normal stages reach 433 m³/h and intensive lifts that to 699 m³/h, reverting to the previous setting automatically after six minutes.
Two 3 W LEDs give 437 lux over the hob with an adjustable colour temperature and a dimmer, so the light can be matched to the rest of the kitchen.
The T-shaped body carries up to 10 kg on each side, and the backlit DirectSelect controls on the glass panel switch the hood on and off with the panel position.
What Smart Hood Automatic actually does
Most people run a hood on one speed and forget about it, which either wastes energy or leaves the kitchen steamy. Smart Hood Automatic hands the decision to the hob. Over Home Connect, a compatible hob passes on what it is doing and the hood adjusts its fan speed to suit, so a rolling boil and a gentle simmer are not treated the same. The same connection brings hob-based hood control, voice control and performance profiles. A Home Connect account and a compatible hob are needed for these functions.
Quiet running from SilentPowerDrive
Noise is the reason hoods get switched off. This one uses the SilentPowerDrive motor, a quiet and energy-saving blower that measures 42 dB(A) on speed one and 57 dB(A) on speed three. Intensive is louder at 68 dB(A), but it reverts to the previous speed after six minutes rather than running on. In an open-plan room where the kitchen faces a sofa and a television, the difference between a hood you can hold a conversation over and one you cannot is the difference between using it and not.
Built in, efficient and easy to keep
The hood is flush-fitted into a 60 cm wall cupboard, measuring 34 x 59.8 x 29.8 cm and needing a niche of 34 x 56 x 30 cm, with only the matt black glass panel visible. Efficiency is the standout on paper: an A+ energy class, 27.2 kWh a year and a 115 W connection rating covering both fan and lighting. Upkeep is two removable metal grease filters that are dishwasher-safe. Ducted operation uses a 150 mm outlet; recirculating requires the Long-life Clean Air kit.

The Verdict
Strengths
- Smart Hood Automatic sets fan speed from the hob
- A+ energy class, 27.2 kWh a year
- Quiet 42 dB(A) running on speed one
- 699 m³/h intensive extraction, 433 m³/h normal
- Backlit DirectSelect controls on the glass panel
- Dishwasher-safe removable metal grease filters
- Up to 10 kg storage on each side of the hood
Considerations
- Smart Hood Automatic, voice control and performance profiles need a Home Connect account, a Wi-Fi network and a compatible hob to work.
- Recirculating operation requires the Long-life Clean Air kit, which is not part of the appliance; the box holds the hood and manual only.
- It is a built-in hood, needing a 60cm wall cupboard and a niche of 34 x 56 x 30 cm, so cabinetry has to be planned around it.
