Beko vs Indesit IS F 18Q60 NE 60cm 4 Zone Induction Hob — Comparison

The Beko HII64201MT at £236 and the Indesit IS F 18Q60 NE at £169 are both 60cm four-zone induction hobs, offering fast, efficient cooking at affordable prices. The Indesit is £67 cheaper.

Induction hobs heat pans directly via magnetic fields, boiling water quickly and responding instantly to changes, while the glass surface stays relatively cool and is easy to wipe. The Indesit IS F 18Q60 NE features front touch controls, a glass-ceramic surface, a boost function for extra-fast heating and residual heat indicators that show when zones are still hot. The Beko HII64201MT offers four induction zones, typically with touch controls and features such as a timer and child lock.

The Indesit offers strong value, bringing induction cooking and a boost function at a very low price. The Beko suits buyers who prefer its controls, design or additional features. Both require magnetic cookware and a suitable electrical connection, often a dedicated cooker circuit. Induction is more efficient than ceramic, so running costs are lower.

Bottom line: choose the Indesit IS F 18Q60 NE at £169 if you want an affordable induction hob with boost and residual heat indicators. Choose the Beko HII64201MT at £236 if you prefer Beko's design and features.
