What's the best kind of induction hob?

[Colour Republic]

Sorry missed this thread first time round

But oh NO SMEG!!:yikes: and that's coming from an Italian!!

TBF the spec verses price with Smeg is very good, an equivalent spec appliance in say Siemens would be double the price. The build quality can be very hit and miss, some are very well made, other models can be a bit rough around the edges.

Can I ask where you bought them? online or in-store? Smeg are known for having poor after sale care in the UK, so if something does go wrong they can drag their feet.

Sorry all sounds like doom and gloom, it's not as i'm sure there are 10's thousands of their appliances in the UK working very well without issue, it's just if they do go wrong you'll want to kill someone.

As I say for the price Smeg are very well spec'd. The other brand which is cheaper than it should be is Samsung, especially as they are just trying to enter the UK and gain market share (I'm talking about their ovens and hobs ect, not the fridges which already sell very well)

Look good though

Haha no worries, thanks for posting, any info is welcomed. However, won't be showing the wife! Haha
I bought them both from AO.com £800 for the oven £750 for the hob. As I mentioned determining factor for me was the fact that the ovens are rated @13amps which meant I could plug it straight in with no need for a new dedicated cooker
point, which would have cost a fair amount with location of the electrical services. Plus the hassle and redecoration. Thought it was better to spend the money on the appliance. They both work extremely well and they're pleasing to the eye so all in all I'm content. Oh and the oven preset functions cook better than the wife! Haha pyrolitic too so keeps her happy :smilewinkgrin:
I will keep in mind what u've said tho and keep a close eye on any hiccups that occur, thanks it's appreciated.
