Altimo vs CDA Hobs

Altimo is led by the Altimo BIH600T2B 4 Zone Induction Hob with Touch Control (£159); another listed choice is Altimo BEHS1SS 4 Zone Sealed Plate Electric Hob (£99). CDA is led by the CDA HN6013FR 60cm 4 Burner Plug & Play Hob - Black (£279); another listed choice is CDA HG6351SS 580mm 4 Burner Gas Hob (£209). For a UK hob choice, the comparison is shaped by price, installation style and the specific technologies named in those model lines rather than brand reputation alone.

On technology and features, Altimo covers the essentials: touch-control induction on the BIH600T2B, sealed-plate simplicity on the BEHS1SS and ceramic cooking on the BCH600T1B. By contrast, CDA offers Plug & Play electric convenience on the HN6013FR, a 580mm gas option and a ceramic electric hob, making installation choice its main advantage. That makes the specification split clear: Altimo should be judged on the feature set and format it lists, while CDA should be judged on whether its capacity, width, fuel type, zone count or convenience feature fits the kitchen better.

Altimo best suits first kitchens, rental upgrades and budget renovations where a low price, simple controls and standard four-zone layouts are the priority. CDA best suits installers and renovators who value straightforward fitting choices, especially where Plug & Play or standard gas replacement is useful. In value terms, the gap between £159 and £279 is important: lower prices reduce the upfront bill, while premium models have to justify themselves through easier daily use, better finish, fewer compromises or avoiding a later upgrade.

Bottom line: choose Altimo if Altimo BIH600T2B 4 Zone Induction Hob with Touch Control gives you the right specification at the more attractive price / opt for CDA if CDA HN6013FR 60cm 4 Burner Plug & Play Hob - Black better matches your kitchen size, finish or feature priorities.
