"I don't know how i have missed out on induction hobs before. This has been a revelation. I had been put off buying one by people saying I would need to replace all my pans. After 30years owning them, this was a good excuse to buy new anyway. The first time I used the hob for rice using cold water, I was amazed at the speed of the boil point in the pan. It seems strange not seeing the ring turn red, and to feel the heat, you just see the bubbles of boiling water. The instant speedy reaction of the controls from high boosted heat, straight to immediate simmering, was also pleasing. As was the timer on the ring which was so easy to use. The rings are different sizes to accommodate different pan sizes which give better cooking results. The hob is really easy to keep clean, I use a microfiber cloth which clears any spills. It looks good in my kitchen against black granite too. Due to the speed of the heat directly into the pan, rather than waiting for the pan to heat, then waiting for the pan to heat the food, I have spent less time at the hob which ultimately must save my electricity bills too. Which is a bonus. Highly recommended."

"We have had this AEG IKB64401FB induction hob for a few weeks now and are delighted with it. It has 4 rings (2 medium, 1 small and 1 extra-large), each of which can be fully controlled independently of one another. I know this sounds like a strange comment but our previous hob used the same power adjustment for all four rings and involved multiple presses in order to make adjustments. This hob is so much better as a result and the fact that you can use the slider bar to adjust the power or simply press along the power line is a dream. Each ring has its own timer function too, neat. For safety and reassurance there are a host of auto switch off features and a handy lock feature too. Something that was a real surprise was the pause feature, this basically puts all active rings in low power mode until you are ready to resume, handy if the doorbell rings. The hob also features something called Hob2Hood, that can magically control your compatible AEG hood for you, doing things like turning the light on and setting the fan speed for you, we don't have an AEG hood to comment first hand though, but certainly sounds like useful use of technology. Nice and easy to keep clean and looks really smart. You can buy this hob with confidence it is certainly a premium piece of kitchen hardware."

"This hob replaces an older AEG induction hob and there is quite a marked difference in terms of heating power, control and ease of use. With decent induction pans water boils extremely quickly (around 60-90seconds). The controls are really easy to use. To change the amount of power you simply swipe your fingers left or right over the controls and it’s very responsive and controllable which we really like. The timer is a really useful feature meaning you can get on with other tasks without worrying that food will overcook. It’s pretty quiet in comparison, although by the nature of the technology you will always hear some whirring particularly when using on full power. Its easy to keep clean too. A solid induction hob.

"I have been using this hob for just over 3 months now and it great. I switched from gas to induction and it's great, much more controllable cooking and cheaper to run. This hob looks great and easy to keep clean with a wipe. The controls are easy to use and don't go crazy if you spill something on them. The hob is quiet to use and only makes nose when on the highest settings, much better than a previous induction hob I had. The hob2hood control only works with compatible hoods so I have not been able to test this.
Overall a great hob."

"With touch control technology, this electric induction hob is easy to use, with immediate response. Water boils so fast and is instantly reduced to a simmer. A special feature of this hob is the hob2hood sensor which automatically works to control the speed of the fan in your hood, leaving you hands free to attend to your cooking. If your hood does not have the sensor, the hob will still light up to remind you to manually adjust the hood fan. The hob is easy to keep clean with just a wipe of a damp cloth. "
