AEG vs Siemens Hobs

AEG and Siemens cover a wide range of induction prices, and the 60cm models here show the clearest difference. AEG's options include the 600mm IAE64411FB SenseBoil induction hob at £439 and the IAE84411FB four-zone model with auto switch-off at £679, alongside the HGB64420YM gas hob at £378. Siemens' 60cm models are the ED651HSB1E iQ500 induction hob at £699 and the EX651HEC1E iQ700 smart four-burner hob at £799. Its 80cm options are the ED851HWB1E iQ500 combizone hob at £899 and the ED811BS16E iQ300 four-zone hob with integrated ventilation at £1,899.

Siemens' product description describes flexInduction zones that adapt to pot sizes, a touchControl interface, a lightSlider with 17 power settings and pan recognition. It also highlights a childproof lock, automatic shut-off and Home Connect smart home integration, and gives a two-year warranty. AEG's product description points to SensePro temperature control, a bridge function, a TFT display, a power boost of up to 3.7kW and a five-year warranty. The 600mm AEG at £439 sits £260 below the 60cm Siemens ED651HSB1E at £699.

AEG suits a household that wants a cheaper 600mm induction hob with a long warranty and a clear display. Siemens suits buyers who want Home Connect integration, a smart iQ700 hob or an 80cm model with integrated ventilation. Both ranges need induction-compatible cookware, and both are typically installed by a qualified electrician, so the fitting cost should be budgeted. Check the width of the existing cutout before choosing between the 60cm and 80cm options.

Bottom line: choose AEG if you want a 600mm induction hob with SensePro control and a five-year warranty from £439, choose Siemens if you want Home Connect and an iQ700 smart hob from £799 or an 80cm model.
