SMP778CNEIXL is the Whirlpool W Collection SMP778CNEIXL 770mm Induction Hob at £799, positioned as a wide, zone-rich induction model for flexible cooking. WVH 92 K F KIT/1 is the Whirlpool WVH 92 K F KIT/1 4 Zone Induction Glass Hob with Venting Cooktop in black at £1929, sitting much higher as a premium induction hob with integrated extraction.

The SMP778CNEIXL is listed with induction technology, a 700mm width, eight zones, 6th Sense Technology and a black finish. Its main strength is cooking flexibility, particularly if you use multiple pans or want Whirlpool’s assisted heat management. The WVH 92 K F KIT/1 has four induction zones, front touch controls, Keep Warm function, a booster cooking zone and a venting cooktop. It has fewer zones, but adds extraction directly into the hob surface.

The SMP778CNEIXL suits enthusiastic home cooks who want maximum induction zone flexibility without paying for built-in ventilation. At £799, it is far more affordable and gives double the listed zone count. The WVH 92 K F KIT/1 suits island installations, open-plan designs and minimalist kitchens where a separate extractor would interrupt the layout. Its £1130 premium is not about more cooking zones; it is about the venting system and integrated design.

Bottom line: choose SMP778CNEIXL if you want an £799 Whirlpool induction hob with eight zones and 6th Sense Technology / opt for WVH 92 K F KIT/1 if you want a 4-zone induction hob with integrated venting, Keep Warm and booster cooking.
