Very complicated to work, the hotplate controls rely on timings and not temperature to control when to switch of,eg. setting 1. on time 1.4 sec. off time 45.6 sec. The hotplate dosent heat up enough to cook anything. You do Have a boost setting which keeps the hotplate on for longer eg. setting 1. on time 60 sec. off time 45.6 sec. but then reverts back to the normal setting. You have to keep looking at the table in the handbook to try and guess which setting will cook the food without burning or taking forever to cook.

It well exceeded my expectations. you have to learn the technique (fingure pressure) to use the controls but then its so easy. One of the rings looks a litte impacted by hear on the underside of the glass - otherwise it is perfect.

Keeps switching on the child lock for no reason, and you have to jump though hoops whilst singing and holding several buttons at once to get it to turn off. Takes ages to switch on (when it feels like it). if pan spills over, the controls wont work, which is precisely the time when you need them to! I'm thinking of changing it, even though it's only a few months old. For the sake of your sanity, dont buy this appliance. It's easy to clean; thats the only good thing about it! Buy something else, get a gas hob, not electric.

I can't believe some of the other reviews - this hob is no more difficult to operate than any ceramic hob. I've owned three and this is by far the best so far, despite being considerably cheaper!! Go for it - you won't be disappointed if you know ceramic hobs.

thank you for prompt delivery, very happy with thequality

I changed from a gas hob to this ceramic one purely for cleaning reasons & the look! It took a couple of times to get used to it and I would say gas is still more instant but I wouldn't change back now. It's easy to use and extremely easy to clean and I would definitely recommend it!
