Browse our cheap cooktops below and find the right fit for your kitchen.

Gas, Electric Ceramic and Induction: Understanding the Difference

Cooktops are available in three main technologies, each with a different cooking profile. Gas hobs provide instant flame and precise heat control that responds immediately when turned up or down, making them a popular choice for cooks who prefer direct flame management. Electric ceramic cooktops are easy to clean, suit kitchens without a gas connection, and sit flush with most bench configurations. Induction cooktops are the most energy-efficient option: they heat only the cookware itself rather than the surrounding surface, which also means the cooktop stays cooler to the touch between zones. Portable induction models are a flexible option for those who cook across multiple spaces or need a compact, plug-in solution. Our ovens range and kitchen supplies collection are useful references for building out the full cooking zone alongside your cooktop.

Size, Zone Count and What to Measure Before Buying

Before buying a cooktop, confirm the benchtop cut-out dimensions required for your chosen model, as these vary considerably across the range from compact two-burner options to wider multi-zone hobs. Compact models suit smaller kitchens, supplementary cooking setups, or holiday homes, while larger options are better suited to households where cooking multiple dishes at once is a regular requirement. If replacing an existing unit, matching the cut-out size of the current cooktop simplifies installation and avoids additional benchtop modifications. Zone count is worth considering for your household size, and the depth of the cabinet below the cooktop should be confirmed against the product specification before ordering. Our kitchen sinks and kitchen taps collections are useful references when planning the broader layout of a kitchen renovation or update.

Installation, Ventilation and What to Check Before Your Cooktop Arrives

Cooktop installation is a fixed-fit job that requires a qualified tradesperson. Gas models need a qualified gas fitter, and hardwired electric units require a licensed electrician; portable induction cooktops are the exception and plug into a standard power point. Confirm the installation type listed on the product page before buying and arrange the right trade to be booked before the unit arrives. Ventilation is worth planning at the same time: pairing your cooktop with a rangehood keeps the kitchen clear of steam, smoke and cooking odours, and matching the rangehood width to the cooktop size improves how well it performs. If you are also refreshing existing ventilation filters as part of the kitchen update, our rangehood filters range covers universal options. The kitchen benches collection is worth exploring for those also updating their prep and bench space alongside the new cooktop.

Building a Kitchen Around Your Cooktop

A new cooktop is often the starting point for a broader kitchen refresh. Planning the surrounding space at the same time creates a more coherent result: the cooktop should be positioned near a clear prep surface with adequate storage for pots, pans and utensils nearby. For those adding flexible prep and storage solutions alongside a fixed cooktop, our kitchen trolleys range covers bench and storage options that work well in most kitchen layouts. A microwave is another practical addition for kitchens where reheating and quick cooking are part of the daily routine, and our range covers compact and mid-size models suited to most setups. Approaching the kitchen as a whole when planning appliance purchases helps avoid the need to rework the space after each individual upgrade.

Which cooktop type suits your cooking style and kitchen setup?

Choose based on how you cook and what your kitchen can support. If you want fast heat control, compare options that prioritise responsiveness, while other styles may suit steady simmering and simple cleaning. Use the product listing to confirm the cooktop type, control layout, and any cookware requirements, then match it to your day to day cooking.

What cut-out and bench measurements should you confirm before buying?

Confirm both the cooktop’s overall size and the required cut out measurements listed for installation. Measure your existing bench opening if you are replacing a unit, and check the depth of the benchtop and cabinet space below for clearance. Also note the location of nearby drawers, splashbacks, and power or gas connections so the cut out suits your kitchen layout.

Which burner or zone sizes and power ratings matter most?

Look at how many pots you use at once and what sizes you cook with most. Larger burners or zones can suit bigger pans, while smaller zones help with simmering and smaller cookware. Power ratings can affect heat up speed, so compare them where listed, but also check the layout so pans do not crowd each other. Confirm minimum pan sizes or zone pairing rules if stated.

What installation is required for a cooktop, and who can do it?

Cooktop installation is usually a fixed-fit job, not a plug-in setup. The listing should indicate whether it needs electrical hardwiring, a standard plug, or a gas connection, and whether any fittings are supplied. For gas or hardwired electrical work, a qualified tradesperson is required, and our partnership with Airtasker makes it easy to find the right professional if needed.
