An 80cm Hob, worth considering. But must be your choice, read on...

"Bosch 80cm Induction Hob.

Great hob, once you get use to it having come from a gas one. Supplied user guide is somewhat light and lacking on real use help, so be prepared for a bit of guesswork whilst you get use to it. And no, it does not always help having used an older induction hob as a good friend found out whilst trying this new one out. Gave her quite a fright at how this one responded on high [7>9] settings as it showed how slow hers is. So funny... but, moving on.

Fitting instructions were OK, the hob came supplied with a lose and slightly short 5 core H07RN-F cable that looked like [at most] to be 2.5mm Square. No mention of it in the actual instructions or anywhere on the product page which might be helpful when sorting your electrician for installation! [Total Draw is rated at 7400W].

All in all a nice little hob, easy to fathom out on your own once you get use to it and have used it for a minimum of at least a week [using daily].

Is it worth the price tag. Personally as I managed to find one at a rival online supplier a lot cheaper than even our Members price I'd say... possibly though time may tell. At full price I'd say no, but then what modern technology is these days.

Lastly we have it linked to the Bosch app. Whilst it does talk to and operate the Bosch Hood we also purchased it's somewhat annoying that if you switch off the hob, it automatically switches the Hood off too. Not great as you'd hope for it to run several minutes more to help clear any residue steam or cooking smells! Plus if your also using your [attached Bosch Dbl Oven] you'd expect the Bosch (not so) smart app to be able to pick up on this simple fact too and keep it running until the oven is at least finished with?

Makes you ask... all this Smart Tech really isn't that "smart". Is it.

Would I recommend... well I never give recommendation anyway, so you'll have to make your own choice. Compared to the overpriced M###e offerings who's quality is more fisherprice than vorksprungdorktechniqu? It's a bargain... but as pointed out earlier. Time will tell.

Excellent hob, easy to use

"Very good hob and excellent service from AO as usual. Replaced an old NEFF which was really difficult to turn on"
