A 60 cm four-zone hob is the most common size in UK kitchens, and for good reason: it fits the standard worktop cut-out and suits how most households cook. Here are the best 60 cm induction hobs we've tested, plus how to check one will actually fit your kitchen.

If you've looked at induction hobs, you'll have noticed that almost every range includes a 60 cm model, often as its bestseller. There's a simple reason: 60 cm matches the standard worktop cut-out used across most UK kitchens, so it drops into the space an old gas or ceramic hob leaves behind without major joinery. Pair that with four cooking zones, enough to run a couple of pans plus a sauce and a kettle-pan, and you have a format that fits both the worktop and the way a normal household cooks.
Bigger 70 cm to 90 cm hobs exist for keen cooks who want more zones or a flexible cooking area, and smaller domino hobs suit tight kitchens or a second worktop, but those are answers to specific needs. For the great majority of kitchens, the 60 cm four-zone hob is the natural default, which is exactly why five of our six picks are this size.
Among the 60 cm hobs we tested, three stand out for the buyers most people fall into:
If you cook a lot and want more, the AEG IKB64431XB adds a bridge zone for long pans, and the Hisense I6433C puts boost on all four zones for the fastest multi-pan cooking. All five fit the standard 60 cm cut-out, so the choice comes down to budget and which extras you'll actually use, as we set out in the full buying guide.
Usually, but "60 cm" is a nominal size rather than a guarantee, so always check before you order. The figure refers to the overall width of the glass, while the dimension that matters for fitting is the cut-out aperture the hob needs in the worktop, and that varies by a few millimetres between models. Find the exact cut-out dimensions in the hob's manual or spec sheet and measure your existing aperture against them before buying.
If you're replacing an old 60 cm gas or ceramic hob, an induction hob of the same nominal size will normally drop into the existing hole, which keeps the job simple. The bigger consideration is usually electrical, not physical: even where the hob fits the cut-out, the supply may need upgrading to a dedicated circuit, because induction hobs draw more power than a standard socket provides. Plan that with a qualified electrician before you commit, as covered in our buying guide.
Yes. A 60 cm four-zone hob is the most common size in UK kitchens and fits the standard worktop cut-out, which is why almost every range includes one. Larger 70 cm to 90 cm hobs add zones or flexibility for keen cooks, and smaller domino hobs suit tight kitchens, but for most homes the 60 cm four-zone hob is the natural fit.
Our pick of the 60 cm hobs is the Bosch Series 6 PUE611BB5B, for its fast, accurate controls, PowerBoost on every zone and Bosch reliability. The Samsung NZ64H37070K is the best value 60 cm hob, and the Beko HII64200MT is the best budget 60 cm option. All three fit the standard cut-out.
Usually, but always check the exact cut-out dimensions in the hob's manual against your worktop before buying, as they vary by a few millimetres between models. If you are replacing an old 60 cm ceramic or gas hob, an induction hob of the same nominal size will normally drop into the existing aperture, but the electrical supply may need upgrading to a dedicated circuit.
A 60 cm four-zone hob is the right size for most kitchens, so unless you have a specific reason to go larger or smaller, it's the sensible default. Our best overall 60 cm pick is the Bosch Series 6, with the Samsung NZ64H for value and the Beko HII64200MT on a budget. Whichever you choose, check the cut-out dimensions against your worktop and confirm you can have the wiring fitted before you order.
