I can't rate this high enough. My gas hob broke and the gas was capped off. I needed a replacement hob without having to pay a fortune for fitting, and I needed something I could just plug into the existing plug hole the gas hob had used. This is great. It plugs straight into the wall. I bought a jigsaw at the same time to cut the existing hole a little larger so it would fit, and it slotted right in. Does a perfectly decent job.... I only tend to use 1 - 2 rings at a time anyway, so have no issue with the lower power. It kicks out a LOT of heat and level 9 is crazy hot :) I tend to simmer on 5, and it all works out well. Maybe one day I will have it hard wired, but honestly, its perfectly fine as it is. It looks great. I'm really happy with it.

Brilliant!

This was perfect for our needs. Looking for something relatively inexpensive that we can move from one part of the house to another during building work. Plug in was essential and was really easy to install. Be aware that the lead isn't the longest though, before you cut any holes! I read other reviews so knew that I wasn't going to get full power from all 4 zones at once, but this has never really been an issue. Boils a kettle really quickly, gets a pan of veg going in no time and has plenty of power for the wok. Unless you try to do all three, full blast at once. Full power is ok on 2 zones, but then it'll start to spread the power out if you get greedy. The fan is a bit noisy for a while after cooking. If that is going to bother you, you might have to pay a bit more for something else. Personally I enjoy the surprise sense of peace I get when it stops halfway through dinner. I only put 4 stars for easy to clean because I have seen better glass surfaces. Not sure what it is about this one, but the finish across the glass never quite seems perfect. Hard to explain - a bit smeary. It doesn't affect the function though, and you can only tell if you look close up. If you're wondering whether to go induction or not - do it! You'll never look back. In my view, far easier and more controllable than even gas.

Got this as a replacement for a Bosch Induction Hob that had failed. Needed one that would plug in, so thought I would try this one. Got to say I am very pleasantly surprised, and would even say it is better than the Bosch one I had. I recently bought some Ninja saucepans which didn't work very well on my Bosch Induction Hob and assumed it was the saucepans, but after using them on this one it appeared to be the Hob as they work very well on this one. The Hob works very well and heats the pans fast, especially on the boost function. Please be aware that as the Hob is a plug in one the power is limited somewhat so you can not have all the rings on maximum. Not a huge issue as I found it is easy to stagger the rings power. It also has a bridging zone so you can heat one item over two rings. If I had one gripe it would be that the power control that you slide your finger over to adst the rings power is a bit sensitive until you get used to using it.

Very pleased with this hob. I did get a new set of saucepans as the old ones were 15 yrs old. The hob was easy to fit. It comes with a plug on but our old hob was hard wired. So cut the plug off and wired direct. The hob is easy to clean. Heats the contents of the pans so fast. You turn it down and it works strait away. No heat lag. Heats the pans twice as fast as our old hob. When you finished and turn it off it cools down super fast.

We needed a plug in hob for our input and this has not disappointed. It arrived well packaged and having used it for a year now, it is one of the best things I bought for my house. Very responsive and the controls are easy to use. You do need to check you have the right pans for induction but I am very happy with this hob, especially for the price

The first one we received had obviously been dropped on the corner as a piece was broken off. This was clearly done during delivery as the box isn't very strong; best to check before you accept it. The replacement arrived in tact despite some damage to the box. The reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because of the poor packaging and a very annoying sticky label on the cooking surface that was very hard to remove. It was very easy to fit after I had enlarged the hole in the worktop to their exact measurements. The controls are straightforward even if like me you have not had one before. I particularly like the slide touch control that saves you repeatedly dabbing the +- to get the right temperature. There is a fan that operates when a ring is on (all induction hobs seem to have one), but it is fairly quiet and goes off immediately you turn the ring off. On power usage, it seems very efficient as the pans heat up very quickly in a matter of seconds even quicker than gas! If you use the boost function, it heats a full kettle in 3.5 mins which is about the same as a large gas burner on full. The manual doesn't make it clear whether this is using 1500W or 2000W but even if its the latter that's pretty good going. I guess the real test is how long it lasts, the gas hob it replaced was still working after 15 years of daily use!

Previously we bought this same brand 5 years ago and it worked perfectly with no issues until the fans gave. Bought this again and from start the fan was doing weird and abnormal things.All the 4 rings coming with error codes at the same time even if they are not switched on .may be just one off product .still will give ago for another one as l liked it very much Previously.
