Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Hob Buying Guide
A hob is a collection of gas or electric burners arranged together in a single unit with a unified power source. While they are usually included with an oven as part of a cooker set, they can also be bought seperately. We have a large selection of hobs in all different shapes, sizes and colours, allowing you to pick the perfect hob for your needs, as well as one that complements the style of your kitchen.
Burner Type
When choosing a hob, first you must decide whether you want gas or electric burners. Both have advantages and disadvantages:
Gas Hob: Gas burners have no heat-up time, so are far quicker to use, and the heat levels are easier to control than electric. Gas flames tend to spread more evenly across the bottom of pans, meaning quicker heating and more even cooking. They are also cheaper to run than electric hobs, saving you money on daily use.
Electric Hob: Electric hot plates take time to heat up, and tend to have a far more concentrated heat radius, leading to uneven heat distribution with large pans. They are also more expensive to run than gas hobs - however they are easier to clean, and significantly easier to set up and use.
Number Of Burners
Another consideration is the number of cooking zones (burners or hot plates) on the hob. Most hobs have 4 burners spaced evenly across the top of the machine - however some models have as few as 2, or as many as 7. These burners will be of differing sizes and shapes - most 4-burner hobs contain a small, medium, large and extra-large burner, suitable for a range of different pots and pans. While 3-4 burners will be sufficient for the majority of users, people that find themselves cooking a lot of dishes at once may wish to look at extra-large hobs that can fit several different pans at once.
Specialist Burners
It's not only the number of burners that is important - several more advanced hobs also contain specialist burners as well. These can include:
Fish Burner: A long, thin burner, large enough to fit a whole fish on at once.
Wok Hob: An extra-large circular burner, suitable for the large flat bottoms of woks.
Teppanyaki Hob: A large, flat, square burner, suitable for the preparation of teppanyaki - a Japanese form of cooking that involves cooking ingredients at high heat on a metal plate.
Power Level
The power level of the hobs are measured in watts (W). The larger the power level, the quicker and more efficiently food will be cooked. Hobs also have a different amount of power settings - on some more basic models, this can be little more than 'low' or 'high'. However more advanced models feature a large number of power settings, allowing for extreme precision when cooking.

Bosch has an average rating of 92%, AEG has an average rating of 91% and Neff has an average rating of 87%.
Biggest Hob Retailers
We found 53 current offers for hobs from eBay making it the biggest hob retailer.
When Are Most New Hobs Released?
Most new hobs tend to be released between April and June. If you want the latest hob features you may want to consider waiting until April 2021. Alternatively you might be able to buy one of the current hobs cheaper in April once the latest models have been released. 35 new hobs were released in June 2020 making it the biggest month that year for new hob releases. In April 2019, 43 new hobs were released making it the biggest month that year for new hob releases. In 2018 most new hobs were released in June, with 120 new hobs released that month.
How Fast Do Hob Prices Drop After Release?
On average hobs drop in price by 8% in the first 6 months after release.
If you are prepared to wait then you could save an average of $41 on a typical $524 new hob by waiting 6 months before buying.
Hob Types
There are a number of different technologies used by hobs to transfer heat to the cooking pan. Gas hobs use a simple flame to heat the underside of the pan and can be used with any pan type. Electric hobs come in a variety of types including ceramic, sealed plate, halogen and induction.
Induction is the most frequently found hob type amongst new hobs. We found 1,446 hobs that are induction hobs. The second most frequently found hob type amongst new hobs is gas. We found 1,167 hobs that are gas hobs.
Burners / Cooking Zones
The number of burners (gas) or cooking zones (electric) on the hob.
Across the range of hobs, the burners / cooking zones range from 1zone(s) to 10zone(s). The burners / cooking zones of the majority of hobs range from 4zone(s) to 5zone(s). The Neff T27DS59N0, which can be purchased for $586.83, has the most burner / cooking zone and is a 5zone(s) burner / cooking zone hob. The Klarstein Captain Cook, which currently retails for $211.90, has the least burner / cooking zone and is a 1zone(s) burner / cooking zone hob.
Case Designs
The case design denotes whether the hob is meant to be free standing, or designed to be built into furnishings in the kitchen.
We found 3,069 hobs that are integrated hobs, which makes this the most common case design amongst new hobs. We found 10 hobs that are freestanding hobs, making freestanding the second most common case design amongst new hobs.
