This AO induction hob has more features than I need, and is not so fast as my previous hob, but Im sure I ll get used to it. The marks which show the position of the cooking source are too faint

Really like this hob now after a few days of getting use to it having never used an induction hob before. Still get use to the slight noise of the boost and how fast it can cook but overall really like this hob. Easer than I thought it would be to operate which is good. Only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because I would really have liked a metal surround to the glass. Having had this on my previous ceramic hob it would be a welcome addition as a safety feature for the glass edges having previously knocked lightly, barely used glass hobs and then they cracked. As a result had avoided them without for many years. As a careful user will keep fingers crossed with this one. Great looks and speedy usage. Great service as usual from AO , many thanks

The hob looks sleek and contemporary and really complements my new kitchen. It has only recently been installed so I have barely used it but very easy to work out the controls etc. Installation was an absolute breeze - it literally just slots in to the cut-out in your worktop and plugs in to a socket, so very DIY! It would be nice if it came with installation instructions though, rather than having to search up a video online. Very pleased so far and great value for money too.

Can be a little noisy when using the highest setting when the fans kick in underneath otherwise a great product.

Looks fab and works a treat

This is my first induction hob; we had a faulty gas hob with only two working burners replaced with the AEG induction hob and I’m converted. I’ve always liked the principles behind an induction hob, the fuel source can be sustainable unlike gas, the top is flat unlike gas, induction is hugely more efficient unlike gas and unlike ceramic hobs. Naturally I had to dredge through all of our pans and rehome those made from aluminium and purchase a saucepan or two to recomplete the set, but I’m so happy we did, the heat up time on a single hob is shockingly fast, I used to warm the pan whilst chopping onions but I nearly set fire to the oil doing this. Moments before you’re ready to cook, just hit the P for the ring you need and the induction magic begins. The hob has modes 1-9 then P and A above those, the interface is straight forward enough with up/down and power buttons for each hob where you would expect them, in the centre of the controls there’s even a timer screen, you can set a timer for each ring and it will turn off the ring when the time is up. Awesome. The glass top is infinitely easier to clean than the wrought iron pan stands of a gas hob. I only have only one complaint that I’ll have to work around. With a gas burner I can have all the burners on full whack at any point. Since this hob plugs into a socket, the power it can draw is limited, you cannot have more than one ring on boost at the same time, if you have multiple rings on the higher side, it will limit the output to feed the ring demanding the most power, don’t think about setting off two pans to boil cold water at the same time.

Overall this is a good hob and the spererate timers are quite useful. The auto power function is very hit & miss on one side and just doesn't work on the other side. The hob is also 3Kw max so only requires a 13amp socket for the mains connection, my previous one needed hard wiring.

As a working parent, this is a bit of a saviour. The water boils in the pan within seconds, i fried an egg within seconds, really quite amazed as to how quickly the pan heats up. There is really no time wasted. My only concern is the noise the hob sometimes makes? I’m assuming it’s the magnets? But it sometimes freaks me out and I turn it all off and start again. Otherwise it’s amazing, cannot fault it.
