Installed the hob only to find that the large ring is continuously igniting. It only stops clicking if you turn it off. Went to the ao website to arrange a replacement only for them to inform me that I need to contact the manufacturer. - in Italy!. I spent a little more that I wanted to with this item because I thought it would be a reliable product. How wrong was I?

We're in love with the switches on this Smeg hob and too be honest, it was one of the main reasons for us buying it! Aside from it looking super cool in our new kitchen, theres plenty of space to cook up a storm!

The hob is a great design, the separate gas plates are adjusted to give different levels of heat which is far better than my previous job which had to be adjusted manually. I can judge more easily which one to use for a articular task. I am very pleased with its design and function. The one thing I'm finding more tricky is the ignition. It is not immediate on pressing the knob down but takes a couple of seconds. This is minor compared to all the good things about it.

Excellent hob, strong burners, quick to heat. Brushed finish makes it difficult to look clean and it holds the wipe marks - I use WD40 to wipe over to clear the smears. Note if you have cabinets right next to your hob and you boil a big pan on the wok burner you may get steam inside your cupboard doors.

Good product, looks smart, great build quality and works as expected.

This is a huge improvement on our old gas hob. The wok burner is quick and the diamond arrangements mean I can have a wok and a frying pan (stir fry and noodles separately) on at the same time and they dont even touch.

Super quality and stunning finish. Easy to operate and quick and simple to clean. Super fast ring with excellent easy to use self ignition. Best value for money. Love it !

The hob looks good, however one of the rings has suddenly turned a copper colour. Disappointed with AO, they have passed me onto Smeg and am still awaiting a reply? Would like this replacing as it was only installed a few weeks ago
