Sleek, easy to use but could do with a few improvements
4/5
It’s a great hob which heats up almost instantly and is easier to control than my gas hob and it looks lovely! Very sleek and matches my hotpoint oven. But, I can’t put a chopping board (or anything) on one of the unused rings whilst I’m cooking as it is so sensitive it beeps and turns things on and off. With having a relatively small kitchen I need to use some of it for side space and it is something I did all the time with my old gas hob. I’ve not tried all the functions yet but it doesn’t seem to sense when somethings burning and turn off - I tested this by putting a frying pan on and leaving it to see, it didn’t do anything - I have teenagers in the house who forget they are cooking occasionally so it was a feature I wanted and thought was on this one. Also, it doesn’t instantly cool down like I assumed induction hobs did and the engineer told me it did. It takes a little while before it is cool to touch - luckily I don’t have little children in the house as that would worry me. I’ve not used the timers yet but they are going to be very handy when I am busy! It doesn’t like being cleaned - I have to switch it off at the wall otherwise it beeps like crazy the moment I get the controls wet until I dry them. That’s pretty annoying! But overall I am very happy with it and look forward to trying out the different functions
