Blomberg vs Whirlpool Hobs

Blomberg and Whirlpool both offer gas and induction hobs, with Whirlpool's W Collection aiming higher. 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. Whirlpool offers the W Collection GOWL 758/NB 75cm five-burner gas hob in black at £519, the W Collection SMP778CNEIXL 770mm induction hob at £799 and the WVH 92 K F KIT/1 induction hob with venting cooktop at £1,929.

Whirlpool's W Collection is designed for larger, premium kitchens. The GOWL 758/NB offers five burners across 75cm, giving room for several pans and a sleek black look. The SMP778CNEIXL's 77cm induction surface offers generous space. The WVH 92 K F KIT/1 combines induction with an integrated downdraft extractor, removing steam and odours through the hob itself, ideal for islands. Blomberg's 60cm hobs offer the essentials at lower prices, and the MIN74387NP runs from a standard socket, avoiding the need for a dedicated cooker circuit.

For standard 60cm worktop cut-outs, Blomberg is the value choice for both gas and induction. Whirlpool suits buyers who want wider surfaces, a five-burner gas layout, or a venting hob for an open-plan kitchen. The extra width of Whirlpool's hobs requires a larger cut-out, so check worktop space before choosing. Blomberg's plug-and-play model is especially useful for homes without a cooker circuit.

Bottom line: choose Whirlpool if you want a wider premium hob or venting cooktop, with the W Collection GOWL 758/NB five-burner gas hob at £519. Opt for Blomberg if you want standard 60cm hobs at lower prices, with the GEN73415E gas hob at £249.99 or the MIN74387NP induction at £319.99.
