Altimo vs Blomberg Hobs

Altimo and Blomberg both offer four-zone hobs, but Altimo's prices are remarkably low. Altimo's listings include the BEHS1SS four-zone sealed plate electric hob at £99, the BCH600T1B four-zone touch control ceramic hob at £129 and the BIH600T2B four-zone induction hob with touch control at £159. Blomberg offers the GEN73415E 60cm four-burner gas hob at £249.99, the MIN74387NP 60cm plug-and-play induction hob at £319.99 and the MIN54483N 60cm induction hob in black at £349.99.

Altimo covers every electric hob type at budget prices. Sealed plate hobs are durable and simple but slow to heat; ceramic hobs are flat and easy to clean; induction hobs heat pans directly, offering the fastest and most efficient cooking. Altimo's BIH600T2B delivers induction for just £159, less than half Blomberg's cheapest induction model. Blomberg's MIN74387NP offers plug-and-play installation from a standard socket, avoiding the need for a dedicated cooker circuit, while the GEN73415E gives gas cooks a stainless steel four-burner option, which Altimo does not list here.

For budget buyers, Altimo is hard to beat: induction cooking for £159 or a ceramic hob for £129 suits rentals, first homes and kitchen refreshes. Blomberg suits buyers who want a gas hob, or who need plug-and-play induction to avoid rewiring, a feature that can save the cost of an electrician. Blomberg's MIN54483N offers a black glass finish for those wanting a more premium look.

Bottom line: choose Altimo if you want the cheapest route to induction or ceramic cooking, with the BIH600T2B induction hob at £159 as outstanding value. Opt for Blomberg if you need a gas hob like the GEN73415E at £249.99, or the plug-and-play MIN74387NP induction hob at £319.99.
