AEG 3000 Series Ceramic Hob HK624010FB, Built-in Hob, 4 Zones with extendable cooking zone, 60cm, Heat Indicators, Touch Controls, Child Safety Lock, OptiFix - One Step Install, 38x560x490mm, Black

Just to be clear this review is of the AEG 60cm Ceramic Hob (NOT the induction model)Our previous AEG Ceramic Hob lasted well and was still going strong, having had no trouble with it in any way during the last 15 years, so it was naturally a good idea to replace the hob with same/similar hoping for a drop-in replacement and similar life-span.These hobs are east to clean with their flat surface and touch controls, and the old unit still look smart after all that time, also found it useful (as in the case of our small kitchen) as an additional surface (obviously with Hob switched off at the mains which we always do anyway)The touch controls on the new AEG model are in a different position to the older unit, and caused a bit of confusion at first.The only down side of these hobs, is that you need to be a little careful, the tops are obviously glass, and the edges can get chipped by heavy-handedness, and if you drop anything heavy onto the top, there is always a chance the glass could crack rendering it unsafe, this only happened to us after 15 years though!Based on the last 15 years cooking on one of these with daily use, I would recommend it without reservation, also the price we paid for the new hob was less than we paid 15 years ago not even allowing for inflation!

As someone unfortunate enough to live in a rental property fitted with this hob, I can only advise anybody the luxury of choosing their own kitchen fittings to buy literally any other hob ever made in human existence than this one.To say I do not believe the manufacturer of this product ever tested it with any real world cooking, would be understating the problem.In fact, I do not believe the designers of this product had ever encountered the practice of cooking before, not even in the form of pictures in a book.The problem with this product is simple: the smallest speck of moisture on the control panels, and it goes into a complete panic. BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP! It declares urgently. BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, I HAVE WATER ON ME, EMERGENCY! And assuming you do not remove every last molecule of H2O from its poor delicate surface within about 4 seconds, it panics so hard it literally TURNS ITSELF OFF.Now, I don't know about you, but between boiling, simmering, poaching, frying, stewing, steeping, blanching and steaming, moisture is a pretty commonplace thing to find in a kitchen. I don't know about you, but I would expect to be able to lift a lid off a pan to check how something is doing, and if half a nano-liter of steam from the lid condensed and dripped onto the hob surface, I would expect the product to be able to cope with this utterly commonplace scenario. I wouldn't expect for a complete toys-from-pram shutdown that screws the timings of everything I am trying to cook and ruins my entire meal. But this thing? That's what you get.Personally I would say a hob that TURNS ITSELF OFF the instant it gets wet, is about as much as use a sunhat which catches fire the moment it is exposed to daylight. It's about as much use as a car which explodes when it contacts asphalt or tarmac. It's about as much use as an overcoat which disintegrates into dust if the temperate drops below freezing. It's simply not fit for purpose at all.Of course, if you train yourself to always transfer lids, pans and jugs via contorted yoga-style poses such that no liquid ever comes anywhere near the hob, you can eventually learn to avoid this issue. Even then this product is staggeringly incompetent: the main ring at the maximum setting takes about 15 minutes to fry a single egg. What you are supposed to achieve with the lower settings I have no idea. Defrosting ice cubes?

Straight forward replacement of old jobGood finish and quality as described
