This replaced my 10 year old induction and what a difference. My other half hard wired this in but it does come with a plug attached which makes life so much easier for lots. It is unbelievably responsive and very simple to use. My old one required a lot of patience and light touches to get it started but this is just feels smooth and effortless. You are also able to put things on it without it beeping (my old one beeped) which is useful when say unloading the shopping. It has a timer function which you can set for each individual pan which is a huge game changer. Once the time is up, it automatically turns off the heat to that pan which is pretty nifty. There is an option to heat things up really quickly with a touch of a button. Say if you needed water boiled for pasta it turns the temperature all the way up, avoiding the need to cycle through all the temperatures to get there. It is also unbelievably fast on that setting. In about a min, your water is boiling depending on the size of the pan obviously. Much much faster than my old one. It is very quite, in fact you wouldn't even know it was on unless you saw the lights. Even when it has been on for over an hour, you cannot hear the fan cooling it down which is a plus. On the whole, I love this hob and would recommended it. It of course looks fantastic and is very well made. It feels sturdy so to speak.
