Beko vs Hisense Cookers

Beko and Hisense both sell affordable cookers, but Hisense leans towards induction and air frying. Beko's line-up runs from the KD533AW at £299 to the KDC653K double-oven ceramic cooker at £419. Hisense's double-oven cookers include the HDCEC6C20B with a ceramic hob at £449 and the HDCEIT6C20B with an induction hob and air fry at £651. Its built-under BID75211XUK at £359 fits beneath a worktop, and the BUD714221CX multi system double oven costs £379.

The HDCEIT6C20B is the most distinctive model in this comparison. It pairs an induction hob with an electric double oven, with 80 and 50 litre XL capacities, catalytic liners and an air fry mode that can replace a separate appliance. Induction heats pans quickly and efficiently but requires magnetic cookware. The HDCEC6C20B offers 50 and 80 litre cavities, a four-zone ceramic hob, pizza mode and catalytic liners at £449. Beko's KDC653K offers 69 and 36 litre ovens with four ceramic hobs and grease-proof enamel linings at £419, but it has no induction or air fry option.

Hisense suits families who want a modern electric cooker with double ovens and the option of induction or air frying without paying premium prices. Beko suits buyers on a tighter budget who want a freestanding cooker with a solid plate or ceramic hob, such as the KD533AW at £299. Induction needs magnetic pans and a suitable electrical circuit, so check both before choosing an induction model. Buyers who only want a built-under double oven should look at the BID75211XUK, which fits beneath a worktop.

Bottom line: choose Beko if you want the lowest cost and a conventional cooker, starting at £299 with the KD533AW, and choose Hisense if you want an induction hob with air fry, such as the HDCEIT6C20B at £651, which is £232 more than the KDC653K.
