Miele vs Neff Hobs

Miele and Neff both offer induction and gas hobs for UK kitchens, with Miele at the premium end. Miele's induction range starts with the 60cm Miele KM7361FL at £619 and the 60cm Miele KM7363FL with Comfort Select at £779, rising to the 80cm Miele KM7373FL at £866. Neff's options are cheaper: the 60cm gas Neff T26PIP4S0 costs £309, the Neff T26CIP8N0 is £349, the Neff T56FHS1L0 induction hob is £549 and the Neff T26CB49S0 gas hob is £419.

Miele's hobs use TempControl and PowerFlex zones for precise heat, plus smart pan recognition that detects cookware size and position. Its Con@ctivity feature links the hob to a compatible cooker hood, and residual heat indicators and child safety locks add extra protection. Neff's standout is FlexInduction, which lets you use cookware of almost any size or shape within the marked zones, and TwistPad Fire Control, a removable magnetic dial. PowerTransfer moves settings with a pan between zones, and PowerBoost raises output by up to 50%. Neff's hobs are backed by a two-year warranty.

Miele suits buyers who want precise induction control, connected hood operation and a flush premium finish, and who cook often enough to use the boost zones. Neff suits households who want flexible cookware placement and a choice between gas and induction at lower prices. Its FlexInduction zones suit people who use odd-shaped pans or large griddles, while its gas hobs are a practical option for anyone who prefers cooking with a flame.

Bottom line: choose Miele if you want TempControl precision, hood connectivity and induction from £619, or a flexible set-up with pan recognition. Choose Neff if you want FlexInduction, PowerBoost and TwistPad control from £549, or a gas hob from £309 for a cheaper route into a premium kitchen.
