Hisense vs Indesit Hobs

Hisense and Indesit both keep prices low across several hob types. 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. Indesit's IB 21B77 NE Built-In Induction Hob is £329, its RI860C 580mm Built-In 4 Zone Ceramic Hob is £149, the ING 72T/BK 5 Zones Gas Hob with Wok Burner is £299 and the THP751PIXI 750mm Built-In 5 Burner Gas Hob is £239.

Hisense's induction hobs focus on speed and features, with automatic pan recognition and rapid boil on the 80cm HI8421BSC. Its GG773B offers five burners and a wok burner. Indesit's IB 21B77 NE brings Push & Go and dual zones, the RI860C is an easy-clean ceramic option, and the ING 72T/BK has a wok burner with a flame failure device. Indesit covers ceramic as well as induction and gas, but its controls are basic and it has fewer smart features than Hisense's induction range.

Hisense suits households moving from basic electric plates or replacing a gas hob affordably, especially those wanting an 80cm induction surface. Indesit suits shoppers comparing fuel types, from a cheap ceramic replacement to a wider gas hob. Both brands need magnetic pans for induction and Gas Safe engineers for gas. Check the worktop cut-out and electrical load before deciding, as those details often change the total cost.

Bottom line: choose Hisense if you want the cheapest induction, such as the HI6401BSC at £199, or an 80cm induction surface at £349, and choose Indesit if you want a ceramic, induction and gas choice, including the RI860C ceramic hob at £149.
