• ✔ More features than basic Bosch/Beko ceramic models
• ✔ Better safety + control (touch, timer, dual zone)
• ✔ Good mid-range “modern electric” choice
• ❌ Still not in the same performance class as gas or induction

👉 Best way to think of it:
“Premium ceramic hob experience, but still fundamentally slower than induction.”

• 4 ceramic cooking zones → standard layout for everyday use
• Touch controls (9 power levels) → more precise than knobs
• 99-minute timer → helps avoid overcooking
• Residual heat indicators → shows when zones are still hot
• Child lock + pause function → safer for families
• AutoMax function → heats quickly, then drops to set level

📏 Size & installation

• Width: ~59 cm
• Depth: ~52 cm
• Cut-out: ~56 × 49 cm (standard UK)
• Installation: Hard-wired (electrician required)

• ✔ Cleaner, more modern feel
• ❌ Not as fast or efficient as induction
• ❌ Not as powerful/flexible as gas

👉 Think of it as: “modern, safe, and easy to use—but not high-performance.”

• 4 induction zones (fast, precise cooking)
• FlexiZone area → combine zones for larger pans
• 9 power levels + booster function for rapid heating
• Slider touch controls for precise adjustment
• Pan detection + auto shut-off safety (only heats compatible cookware)
• Residual heat indicators + child lock + timer
• Plug & Play (13A plug connection) – no electrician needed in many installs

📏 Size & installation

• Width: ~59 cm
• Depth: ~52 cm
• Height: ~4.8 cm
• Power: 13A plug (rare for full induction hobs)

👉 This makes it one of the easiest induction hobs to retrofit into an existing kitchen.

⚡ Real-world performance

• Very fast heating (boils water much faster than gas or ceramic)
• Instant response when you change power levels
• Energy efficient (only heats the pan, not the surface)
• Slight limitation: being 13A plug-powered, it may not sustain maximum output across all zones at once compared to hard-wired induction hobs

👍 What it’s good for

• Fast everyday cooking (best in your whole list for speed)
• Safety (no flame, auto shut-off, child lock)
• Easy installation (plug-and-play advantage)
• Modern kitchens wanting induction without electrician cost

⚠️ Things to consider

• ❌ Requires induction-compatible pans (magnetic base)
• ❌ 13A limit means it’s not as powerful as hard-wired induction hobs under heavy simultaneous use
• ❌ Touch controls can be more sensitive than knobs (some people prefer physical dials)

🧠 Straight verdict

This is the best-performing hob type you’ve sent so far overall:

• ✔ Faster than gas and ceramic
• ✔ More efficient than all non-induction options
• ✔ Easiest induction install (rare advantage)
• ⚠ Slight power-sharing limitation due to plug-in design

👉 If your priority is speed + modern cooking, this is currently the strongest all-round option in your list.
