Blomberg vs Bosch Hobs

Blomberg and Bosch both offer gas and induction hobs, with Bosch extending into premium venting designs. Blomberg's listings include 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. Bosch offers the Series 2 PBP6B2K60 four-burner gas hob in white at £229, the PWP611BB5B 600mm induction hob with plug at £309 and the Series 4 PVS811B16E 80cm induction hob with integrated ventilation at £1,899.

The closest rivals are the plug-in induction hobs: Bosch's PWP611BB5B at £309 and Blomberg's MIN74387NP at £319.99 both run from a standard socket, avoiding the need for a dedicated cooker circuit. Bosch's PVS811B16E is a premium venting hob, with an extractor built into the centre of the cooking surface that pulls steam and odours downwards, removing the need for an overhead cooker hood, ideal for kitchen islands. Bosch's white Series 2 gas hob is a slightly cheaper alternative to Blomberg's stainless steel GEN73415E.

For everyday kitchens, the brands are closely matched on price, with Bosch slightly cheaper on both gas and plug-in induction and backed by its reputation for reliability. Blomberg offers a stainless steel gas hob and a black induction model for those who prefer those finishes. Buyers designing an open-plan kitchen or island will find Bosch's venting hob a standout, though at a premium price.

Bottom line: choose Bosch if you want proven reliability or a venting hob, with the PWP611BB5B plug-in induction at £309 or the PVS811B16E for islands. Opt for Blomberg if you prefer its stainless steel GEN73415E gas hob at £249.99 or the MIN54483N induction hob in black.
