The hob is stylish and easy to clean and the cooking is easy and controlable from boost power to gentle simmer. The two lefthand and the two right hand hos are linked so that the maximum power to the 2 liked hobs is about 3500kw so if you boost whilst the other is on high it might reduce its power. The hob needs to be hard wired from a 32amp supply. I dont cook much but my wife is impressed with it and not missing the gas hob.

I had previously owned an AEG freestanding cooker with induction hob and also the AEG HK654400XB Induction Hob. I did not hesitate to say yes when I was offered the opportunity to test and review the AEG IKB64401FB. The hob looks very smart and has a bevelled edge. I will admit, I do prefer the look of my previous hob which has a stainless steel edge / trim. Personally, I think this offers better protection against chipping the edges and overall gives a more finished look to the hob. As you’d expect, an induction hob is much more efficient and responsive than a traditional electric hob. The glass top means that it’s easy to clean. On this model, I especially like the control bar for the heat settings. Unlike my old freestanding cooker where I had to repeatedly press a plus/minus arrow to change the temperature setting and to switch the hob off; this hob has the option to directly select one of the ‘pre-set’ temperatures (1, 3, 5, 8 10). I found this to be far less fiddly than my previous model and a good improvement. In addition to the pre-set, you have the option to select additional temperatures by moving your finger along the slide bar. By pressing 0, the cooking zone is switched off. As with my other hobs, I love the option of being able to set a count down timer when using the cooking zones. Set the timer and the zone automatically counts down then switches off. No more exploding boiled eggs! Another great feature is the ‘pause’ setting. By pressing this, the cooking zones switch to the lowest heat setting. Great if you need to leave the hob for any length of time as it will stop the food from burning. I also like the residual heat indicator, this is a good visual safety feature. The hob brings water to the boil speedily by using the ‘power boost’. Also, the hob is very responsive when reducing heat down to a simmer. I didn’t find this hob especially noisy when in operation. With regards to other comments that they find the bleeping a nuisance, you do have the option to switch the sounds off. This hob comes with a Hob2Hood function. As I do not have a compatible extractor hood, I am unable to comment on this function. Though, I do think this is a good idea. Overall, I have found this hob very easy to use and the controls are simple to navigate. The functions are well thought out and easy to select.

This is my first induction hob after always having used gas. I changed for the environment and went for this one as its recommended by which? as a best buy. Its excellent and so easy to use, easy to clean and doesn't use much electricity. Compared to gas you get much more control at lower temperatures.

Had a radiant ring hob for 25 years, so decided to go for a change. After a lot of research, decided to go for this AEG hob, having had AEG washing machines, fridge freezers etc in the past, all giving excellent service. Our AEG fridge freezer is now over 25 years old and still giving good service. What a difference the hob makes. So fast and controllable. Should have had one years ago. It’s a joy to use. Would not go back to the old hobs.

Powerful hob which quickly brings liquids to the boil. Intuitive controls which I mastered quickly. Works well even when the pans are smaller than the rings

Bought as a replacement for a similar AEG electric hob - fitting was easy as the hole for old and new are identical - and external dimensions of hob itself are exactly the same. Wiring box has terminals in a slightly different alignment, but nothing major and a slight mod of cable length didn't solve Overall operation is good - Initially didn't think it was that quick at heating up - but use the P setting to boost (and invest in some decent induction pans) and you're good. Haven't used the fancy bells and whistles like the timer or child locks so can't comment. There is some fancy bluetooth style to auto-control an AEG extraction hob to align with cooking times, but as we don't have anything that 'la-de-da' it isn't an issue. If your kitchen woes are all about how annoying it is to manually turn the extractor hood on, then go have a word with yourself ;) Usual pros of induction (easy to clean, wipe down, looks slick) all apply as equally here as it does to other makes/ models. AEG quality on an induction hob that does the business

The hob came well packaged. It was easy to fit. The hob works well and I am impressed with the reaction times. It looks classy and is so much easier to clean than my old gas hob. I use Tower Cerasure pans on mine and they work well.

We've had a couple in this price bracket over the years and the AEG is the best of the bunch. Fast and efficient, and don't underestimate the controls. Some have one control you have to switch (avoid), some have the big ring too near to the touch panel. This doesn't. All good. Buy this one.
