AEG 60cm Stainless Steel Gas Hob vs 750mm Slimline Gas Hob — Comparison

HGB64420YM is the AEG HGB64420YM 60cm Stainless Steel Gas Hob at £378, while HGB75500SM is the AEG HGB75500SM 750mm Slimline Gas Hob at £379. Both are AEG gas hobs with cast-iron pan supports, but they sit in different size classes: the HGB64420YM is a conventional 60cm four-burner model, while the HGB75500SM is a wider five-burner hob.

The HGB64420YM measures W:594mm x D:510mm x H:40mm and has four gas burners, cast-iron supports and a 1.1m moulded 3-pin mains plug. The HGB75500SM measures H:80mm x W:745mm x D:510mm and adds a fifth burner, easy rotary dials, sturdy cast-iron supports and upward-directed flames to focus heat on pans. The larger model is wider and deeper in profile, but the price difference is only £1, making the extra burner the main specification advantage.

The HGB64420YM is best if you are replacing a standard 60cm hob or have a compact worktop cut-out where a 745mm appliance will not fit. It is simple, familiar and practical for everyday gas cooking. The HGB75500SM is better for keen cooks, families and batch cooking, because five burners give more room for sauces, pans and larger cookware. Its £379 price makes it particularly attractive if you have the installation width available.

Bottom line: choose HGB64420YM if you need a standard 60cm stainless steel four-burner gas hob / opt for HGB75500SM if you can fit the wider body and want five gas burners for just £1 more.
