Cooker hoods in South Africa: what a 60 cm hood costs

Updated 31 October 2026

A standard 60 cm cooker hood costs roughly R 1,050 to R 1,600 in South Africa, while a branded or wall-mounted model is about R 2,000 to R 3,500, in rand. Check the width, the extraction rate and how the hood will vent, then send a request on BlaBlaPrice: the AI checks sellers' websites and price lists here and shows the offers it finds.

Ventilation and gas rules

Ventilation in a South African kitchen falls under the National Building Regulations. Part O of those regulations (SANS 10400-O) sets the deemed-to-satisfy requirements for lighting and ventilation, so ask the installer how the hood will vent. If your hob runs on gas, a service and shut-off valve must sit between the gas bottle and the appliance, so check that before the hood goes in. Cleaning guidance also cites Regulation R638 under the Foodstuffs, Cosmetics and Disinfectants Act as a legal requirement for cleaning extraction hoods.

Warranty and what to check

Warranties differ by brand. One Bosch local warranty page lists three years for cooker hoods, with full parts-and-labour cover in the first year and functional parts in years two and three. Another retailer's standard warranty for its hoods is two years. Ask which warranty applies to the unit you buy, and whether it covers labour as well as parts.

Season, size and delivery

October is spring, and winter from June to August is when cooking indoors is more common, so extraction matters more then. Hoods are measured in centimetres, and 60 cm is a standard width that fits between two wall-mounted units. Say the width and whether you want an integrated, canopy, chimney or telescopic model. Extraction is quoted in cubic metres per hour (m³/h), so give a target rate if you have one. Delivery is possible between Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria and Gqeberha.

To get offers, describe the hood in your own words: type, width, new or used, capacity, model, colour, installation needs, warranty and budget. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice receive the request and reply in the chat with their price, terms and delivery. Your contact details stay hidden, and you decide who receives them. Compare the total with installation and delivery included. You can also send the request link to local sellers yourself. See also Cookers / ovens and Dishwashers.
