Very pleased with the SMEG induction hob - it looks super stylish. Easy to install, especially with the plug and play feature. It raises pans to temperature quickly and is very responsive/easy to control the heat, once you get used to the settings. So very easy to keep it clean - no fiddling about around gas burner heads or pot stands. My one gripe with it is that the touch controls are not easy to see - you have to catch them in the right light. When I stand at the counter using the hob I have to twist to allow the light to fall onto the display so I can see it. This may cause difficulties for people with impaired vision. SMEG should take note and redesign this feature.

The hob was simple to fit into a standard size worktop hole. The fact that you just plug it in and fit is super easy. No need for an electrician. The hob is easy to operate and the fast bowl function is just that fast to boiling point. A pan of potatoes takes 2 mins only to get bowling. The hob is responsive, easy to ckeep heat control and efficient. I love the easy of cleaning. The child lock is good too. As it’s powered by a plug you can only have one ring on fast boil at one time. But as it’s so quick once turned down to simmer I put the next pan on to fast boil. I would purchase this hob again with no reservations.

Really good, heats very quickly and I like the variety of sizes of the rings.
