Indesit ING 72T/BK 5 Zones Gas Hob with Wok Burner - Black vs 580mm Built-In 4 Zone Ceramic Hob — Comparison

ING 72T/BK is the Indesit ING 72T/BK 5 Zones Gas Hob with Wok Burner in black at £299, sitting as the larger gas model in this comparison. RI860C is the Indesit RI860C 580mm Built-In 4 Zone Ceramic Hob at £149, positioned as the lower-cost electric ceramic choice for a simpler built-in installation.

The ING 72T/BK gives you five gas burners, including a wok burner, plus flame control and a flame failure device. That makes it more flexible for busy cooking, especially when you need one high-output burner and several standard burners at the same time. The RI860C has four ceramic electric zones, side controls and a black finish. It has one fewer cooking position and no wok burner, but offers a flat ceramic surface rather than raised gas burners and pan supports.

The ING 72T/BK suits confident cooks who prefer gas, use large pans or want the instant visual feedback of a flame. At £299, it costs double the RI860C, but the extra burner and wok capability can be worth it for larger households. The RI860C suits smaller budgets, flats without a suitable gas preference, and shoppers who want a basic four-zone hob that looks clean and is easy to understand.

Bottom line: choose ING 72T/BK if you want five gas burners, wok cooking and flame failure safety / opt for RI860C if you want a much cheaper 580mm ceramic hob with four electric zones and side controls.
