Belling vs Hisense Hobs

Belling offers two clear mainstream choices: the GHU603RISTA 60cm Gas Hob in stainless steel at £219 and the IHT6013BLK 60cm Induction Hob with touch controls at £259 or £229. Hisense widens the range with the HI6421BSC 60cm 4 Burner Induction Hob at £229, the GG773B 75cm 5 Burner Gas Hob at £265 and the HI8421BSC 80cm 4 Zone Induction Hob at £349.

Belling’s induction model is a sensible 60cm touch-control upgrade, while its gas hob covers the traditional flame-control route. Hisense matches that 60cm induction proposition but adds stronger size and burner flexibility. The GG773B gives five gas burners across 75cm, useful for wok cooking and multiple pans, while the HI8421BSC stretches induction to 80cm, improving pan spacing and making larger cookware easier to manage.

Belling suits buyers who want a familiar, affordable hob and do not need extra width. Hisense suits busier households, batch cooks and families who want more usable surface area without a premium price. When comparing induction models, energy efficiency is likely similar in principle, so Hisense’s advantage is layout and choice rather than pure running cost. Belling still works well where a standard 60cm replacement is the simplest answer. For UK buyers, also check the electrical connection, worktop cut-out, ventilation plan and pan compatibility before judging the headline price, because installation extras can change the real basket cost more than a small difference between models. Cleaning style matters too: gas hardware needs lifting and soaking, whereas glass electric or induction surfaces reward quick wipe-downs after spills day to day.

Bottom line: choose Belling if you want a simple 60cm gas or induction hob at a fair price / opt for Hisense if you want affordable induction with more width or a five-burner gas layout.
