Compared with my previous cooker (AEG) this is nowhere near as good. The hob induction zones take much longer to heat anything and then require higher settings to keep simmering. Despite several cycles of running the oven at a high temperature, and a week of cooking meals, the smell from the oven still taints the food. The knobs on the front of the cooker are too hot to touch if the oven has been on for more than an hour.
