Im very impressed of this purchase ,never been leaving any reviews but on this product I’m so happy. Had for a years induction hob but never had like I bought now. Very quick ,temperature you can set by your self, easy clean . Highly recommend for who is looking something like this
This thing was taken out of the box and plugged in to the same power socket we had an electriQ 2 Zone Portable Induction Hob working for over 3 years that quietly stopped working. Once turned on a big bang and flash that triggered fuses. Fortunately, no injuries or any harm done to electrical infrastructure.
I have then decided to order two new electriQ 2 Zone Portable Induction Hob (nearly half the price) that we had before and that broke down after 3 years of quite a bit of use.
We were already impressed with the right hand hob and how fast it heats up but after trying out the left hand hob we couldn’t believe how fast it boiled the water in the pot!
It comes with child locks which is very handy for wee kids who want to touch everything and also I like the way it cools down very quickly too making it much safer. The slim line design is perfect for storing away and we think it would be good to use in a small apartment or caravan where there is very limited space. This hob is also great to use when you have a big crowd round and need extra cooking hobs. Can’t fault it, would recommend.
I bought this to replace a thicker single induction hob as, at 5’3″ sitting on the worktop made it uncomfortably high. This one is better but worth noting that it is much wider and longer, so please note ALL the dimensions before purchase
I can’t afford a cooker, so got this. So far it’s good.
I’ve made curries, omelette etc. The only down side, it’s hars to find the pots that suit it, and the ones that I’ve got are expensive for this.
But I would say get this is your saving for a cooker, or on a tight budget.
As the surface is slightly frosted glass, it’s really easy to clean.
I had to buy new pans as my old ones were found to be too warped to be of any use.
My only problem was the increments in temperature which are offered – I found at 100 degrees C, there was barely a simmer happening, the next increment is 120 where a ferocious boil occurs. No real biggy, but when cooking pasta, use a very large pot half filled so when the starch releases you don’t get over-spill…hopefully.
Overall, rather pleased.
The first one we bought lasted no more than a day. The replacement is fine so far.
I’ve read many reviews where others had problems, and I think these tips should help everyone.
1) make sure the FAN is ok: the fan should kick in frequently, and not be too noisy. Or you have a faulty one. If the fan does not come on it will stop working permanently (it’s cooked itself) and probably trip your distribution board.
2) DO NOT switch it off at the socket soon after using it. The fan is essential for cooling it down correctly. It can’t do that if you turn it off at the socket.
3) the heat is generated in a small spot in your pan or cooking pot base. Unless boiling water or simmering move the pot around a bit every 20 seconds or so. Otherwise your food will burn at that spot.
4) About the hot spot: the cooker heats up, pauses, heats up, pauses… in that pattern. You can hear it heating up. DON’T use a NYLON fish slice while it is heating that spot! I found the 600 degrees setting to be fine for a quick slice action, but on 800 the tip of the fish slice will melt instantly and stick to the pan i.e. if it touches that small hot spot while heating up. You will end up with burnt nylon in your food. Alternatively only slice when it is NOT heating up, or lift the pan off the cooker while slicing.
I just wanted to express my gratitude and admiration for the customer service representative who reached out to me after reading my initial feedback. It was such a pleasant surprise to receive an email inquiring about my experience with the product. I appreciate the company’s and the representative’s proactive approach and exceptional customer service. Their attitude and attention to customer satisfaction is truly commendable.
After communicating with the customer service representative, I was willing to give the product another chance. It’s worth mentioning that the appearance of the new one was different, with a sandblasted surface instead of a smooth mirror finish, and the performance was a little bit better than the one I returned. Although the new induction hob showed improvement over the previous one, there is still room for improvement in terms of heating. As shown in the video clip, you can see that the heat was not distributed evenly on the bottom of the pan (maybe)due to the arrangement of the coils, so only some parts of my pancake were overcooked while the other parts were still undercooked, which needs to be taken into consideration when using it. In addition, I believe that the temperature selection can be even more precise, especially between 80 and 100 degrees, where more or a few more options should be added.
1) Could be better if the temperature can be selected within the range from 80 to 100, eg 85 90.
2) Imbalanced heating as photo shown.
Edit
18 months on and the hob has developed a big crack on the left side , however was still working fine! For safety reasons I had to ask Amazon if I could return as the product developed a fault within the two year warranty. Amazon was swift at arranging a return( although Evri took two weeks to pick it up and 6 labels, forcing my hand on buying a new one! Urghhh)!
The seller requested to complete a form and a few details order number, model number etc making the return a bit more time consuming , whereas Amazon was faster on offering a solution. Taking a star off due to the fault it developed and I wish their customer service was as fast as Amazon’s.
I still love the product and would recommend, although the new 2024 model is not shiny but rather frosted, and that’s a downgrade as it makes it look cheap but on the other hand I hope it is sturdier and doesn’t crack!!
