Bosch Silent Wall-Mounted Canopy DWB91PR50A (90 cm)

Quiet, Easy to clean, good lighting and extracts well – We replaced an old Technika slide out rangehood. We will no longer buy slide out rangehoods because the slide out portion of our old rangehood , did not extract air. We believed that our old rangehood was ducted outside as it had an air vent on the outside brick wall and we believed our old range hood was ducted outside with a ducting hose but it was just being ducted into the wall cavity . according to our installer many of the houses have this very same problem.

We had our new Bosch rangehood ducted outside , we bought a ducting kit from Bunnings and had it installed to vent outside,. By doing this , we believe that we have greatly increased the removal of cooking smells.

The Bosch rangehood juts out from under our cupboards over the cook top but we don’t bump our heads on it. It has definitely made a difference to the air in the kitchen because it is extracting the cooking smells from the front of our cook top as well as the back of our cooktop, unlike the old pull out rangehood we had.

The controls are conveniently on the front of the rangehood.

it has two boost levels, which automatically run for a period of time and then drop down automatically from the boost level (according to their website the boost level drops down to the previous level after 6 minutes.)

I love the lighting , it has 3 x 1.5 Watt LED Lights, which can be dimmed

It has a Saturation display for filters on the front of the canopy which lights up when the filters need cleaning. Not sure whether this function works all that well. The app it connects to via wifi also tells us the saturation level, I would say that it would be very hard for the rangehood to monitor saturation levels and we are not bothered that this doesn't work as well as we expected it to.

3 Dishwasher safe metal grease filters, fits in easily into our dishwasher. To me, this is important as it was very hard to clean the filter on our old rangehood.

It looks really good with our dark timber cupboards and black granite splash back.

It has wifi capability, It can be app driven although I don’t use the app. You can turn it off and on, You can turn the lights on and off and it lets you know when the filters need cleaning. I don't really bother trying to control our rangehood via the app.

For our installer, it was an easy switch over from our old 90cm Technika pull out rangehood, it fitted in really well, I just lost the use of the inside of an overhead cupboard as the flue of the canopy rangehood now occupies it .

I almost discounted this model as it had wifi and an app, I knew I wouldn’t be using any of these functions and didn’t want to pay for functions I would never use, but I love the powerful extraction on this and it has made a significant difference in the kitchen.

The best rangehood I've ever had used – This rangehood is a miracle! I've got it together with Bosch Serie 8 induction cooktop PXV975DV1E and they have connected together via wi-fi. Now whenever I switch the hot plate on, the rangehood turns on automatically and it senses the amount of steam and smoke coming up from the cooktop. So I don't have to regulate the fan speed, the rangehood does that for me. And also, it's not just quiet, it's super quiet even on the highest settings. The smell is pumped up very efficiently. You will not regret getting this rangehood.
