CDA vs Hoover Hobs

CDA and Hoover both sell gas hobs at budget prices, and they overlap closely on cost. CDA's options include the HPG6200SS stainless steel gas hob at £199 and the HG6351SS 580mm gas hob at £209, along with the HC6621FR ceramic hob at £249 and the HN6013FR plug-and-play induction hob at £279. Hoover offers the H-Hob 300 HHW6LK3X 60cm four-burner gas hob in stainless steel, priced between £139 and £169, and the HHG6BRMX built-in gas hob with four burners at £169.

Both brands make four-burner gas hobs, but CDA also offers electric options. The HG6351SS and HPG6200SS use rotary dials and cast iron pan supports, with easy-clean steel finishes. Hoover's gas hobs use side dial controls on a 595mm width, and the HHG6BRMX has an inox plate with dial controls. Hoover's range here is gas only, with a stainless finish that needs regular cleaning. CDA also adds the HN6013FR plug-and-play induction hob and the HC6621FR ceramic hob, which need no gas supply.

Hoover suits gas cooks on a budget, landlords and anyone replacing a worn-out gas hob with a simple model that fits a standard 60cm cut-out, although Gas Safe installation is needed. CDA suits kitchen refreshes and homes without a gas supply or cooker circuit, and its plug-and-play option removes the need for rewiring. Anyone wanting a gas hob with more standard features may find CDA's rotary dials and cast iron supports a worthwhile step up. Hoover is the more direct like-for-like option if you are happy with gas, while CDA gives you more room to choose later.

Bottom line: choose CDA if you need electric options or a plug-and-play hob, with prices from £199 for gas and £279 for induction; choose Hoover if you want the cheapest gas hob, starting at £139, for a like-for-like replacement with four stainless steel burners.
