This hob looks great, and works well, but there is a knack to igniting the jets. The instructions say, push down, turn and hold down for 2 secs. I was doing this, but mostly the jets went out when I let go, even when I held it down for 10 secs. However, I now know there are two levels to pushing down. So to light this jet you have to push down an extra bit to make sure the flames 'stick'. It's not hard to do, but the instructions don't explain this, so I had a frustrating first week trying to ignite the jets consistently.

Lovely clean, simple design. Easy to use. Good quality

My new smeg gas hob is good value for money, easy to use and looks good. I haven't manage to boil anything over on it yet so can't say how easy it is to clean, but at the moment got some ordinary stainless steel cleaner and that seems to do the trick.

..they just slide off. Two of the three in my household have been burnt by pans sliding off our new Smeg S64S hob. Its fine with Le Crueset etc, but with light pans its dangerous. You need to hold the pan at all times. It looks good, it lights fine, it's quiet, but if i hadn't already paid to have it installed and our old one scrapped, i would send it back.

This hob looks even better than the old version of this model. It is easy to clean if something spills over and most importantly, fitted perfectly in the cut-out for the old hob in the corian worktop. Just as well Smeg kept the dimensions unchanged.

Good quality, easy to clean and operate, smart looking.

The hobos of good quality and simple and safe controls an ideal replacement for the old well used but worne one have had for years.

Fantastic product - looks slick and fits well with the kitchen them. I have never shopped with AO before and they looked after me from order to installation.
