Belling vs Hisense Cookers

Belling and Hisense both sell double-oven and single-oven cookers at modest prices. Belling's options include the FARMHOUSE60EBLK electric cooker with ceramic hob at £799, the FARMHOUSE60DFBLK dual fuel model at £799 and the MRAFHOUSE60 ceramic double ovens at £649. Hisense's cookers range from the HDCEC6C20B ceramic double oven at £449 to the HDCEIT6C20B electric double oven with induction hob and Air Fry at £651, with built-under double ovens such as the BID75211XUK at £359.

Hisense's HDCEIT6C20B is the most advanced model in the pair, combining an induction hob with an air fry mode in an 80 and 50 litre double oven. The HDCEC6C20B offers a four-zone ceramic hob, pizza mode and catalytic liners for easier cleaning, and it is £200 cheaper than the MRAFHOUSE60EBLK. Belling's MRAFHOUSE60 cookers include a ceramic hob, four ceramic zones, an AirFry mode and easy-clean enamel, with 33 litres on top and 70 litres below. The FARMHOUSE60 cookers offer a 65 litre main oven and 37 litre second oven, but they use gas or ceramic hobs rather than induction.

Hisense suits families who want a modern double-oven cooker with induction or air frying, without paying for a premium brand. Belling suits buyers who want a 60cm cooker, either dual fuel or all-electric. The HDCEIT6C20B costs £148 less than the FARMHOUSE60EBLK at £799, which makes it a strong choice if induction and air fry matter. Buyers who only want a built-under double oven should look at the BID75211XUK at £359, which fits beneath a worktop.

Bottom line: choose Belling if you want a dual fuel cooker with a gas hob, such as the FARMHOUSE60DFBLK at £799, and choose Hisense if you want induction and Air Fry in one double-oven cooker, such as the HDCEIT6C20B at £651.
