Hisense vs Hotpoint Hobs

Hisense and Hotpoint both offer 60cm hobs at moderate prices, though their focus differs. Hisense's HI6401BSC 60cm 4 Burner Induction Hob is £199, its HI6421BSC 60cm 4 Burner Induction Hob is £229, the GG773B 75cm 5 Burner Gas Hob is £265 and the HI8421BSC 80cm 4 Zone Induction Hob is £349. Hotpoint's PPH60PFIXUK 60cm Gas Hob is £142, the PPH60GDFIX 4 Burner Gas Hob 60cm is £170, the TQ1460SNE 590mm Induction Hob is £239 and the FTGHG641DHBK 600mm Built-In 4 Burner Gas Hob is £385.

Hisense's induction hobs bring Connect Zone, residual heat indicators, touch controls and automatic pan recognition on the 80cm model, while its GG773B adds five burners and a wok burner. Hotpoint's range is mostly gas, with vertical flame and dial controls on the FTGHG641DHBK, and cast iron pan supports and a rapid burner on the PPH60GDFIX. The TQ1460SNE gives Hotpoint an induction option with front touch controls in a 590mm width. Hotpoint's hobs also include residual heat indicators and automatic shut-off. Hotpoint's PPH60PFIXUK at £142 costs £123 less than the Hisense GG773B.

Hisense suits value-focused households and anyone wanting a wide induction surface or a five-burner gas hob without paying premium prices. Hotpoint suits family kitchens with an existing gas supply, and buyers who want a known brand with support and a choice of silver or black finishes. Its 60cm gas models fit standard cut-outs, but gas installation requires a Gas Safe engineer, and induction models need magnetic cookware.

Bottom line: choose Hisense if you want affordable induction or five-burner gas at a sensible fitted cost, such as the HI6421BSC at £229, and choose Hotpoint if 60cm gas cooking suits your kitchen, such as the PPH60GDFIX at £170 with cast iron pan supports.
