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

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?

Sadly, one of the burners did not work after the hob was delivered and I had to wait 10 days for the engineer to fix it, which he did and it's working well now, but I was surprised that AO had delivered a faulty hob to me. I have already bought the Smeg oven and I'm very happy with it. The hob is sturdy and well-made. It's easy to cook on and cleans well. Apart from the hitch over the burner, I am pleased with the products.

This is a nice looking hob. I specifically bought the hob with the diamond arrangement of burners, as it was advertised as being more efficient for space. I have to say that it really does not work that way for me, and in fact, I find the arrangement to be not as good as the classic model. So, I am feeling a bit disappointed with the purchase.

The hob layout works well and I like the level of control you have over the heat. A little disappointed with the finish - it marks easily and there is already tarnishing on the inner wok ring

Decent product… slightly “scratchy” control knob movement but great flameage & spark up!

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.

Removed 1 star because the shiny silver centre of the wok-burner gets tarnished immediately on use.
