The product purchased is a direct replacement of our current hob which has deteriorated over time. The product arrived well packaged and on time. The only issue we have is that the newer version of the hob is a couple of mil bigger and does not fit into the original cutout. This will be remedied by a stone mason is a couple of weeks. We are now having to suffer salad, ready meals and takeouts until the new hob can be fitted, not too much of a sacrifice though!
