I am just so disappointed with this hob. Always loved Zanussi products, but this hob does not come up to expected standard. I have cooked stir fries (on hottest ring P setting) Ultimately it's fine for a couple of minutes then appears to turn itself to a lower setting ending with 'stewed' stir fries!!! If I use more than two areas at once, the power drops. Tried to phone Zanussi, but was left on the phone for 25 minutes. This is my 3rd induction hob over the years, (various manufacturers) and I am sad to say the worst one.

Before you read the title "Neat and Simple" and take that to maybe be a bit of a shallow description, I will point out this is an induction hob, not an oven or washing machine, it has one purpose which is to heat the object you place on it at a specific speed, so to be neat and simple is to get the job done in the least obtrusive, most efficient way possible. which this hob does. The reason i decided to try a new hob was simple, I had an existing induction hob that was a standard square 1/2meter square model, Functionally it was essentially identical, but practically, I couldn't cook with large pans or multiple pans due to everything being squashed together. The Zanussi simple fixes this issue by taking a 4 plate hob and spacing things out nicely whilst also enlarging the existing zones to allow for larger implements. PROS: From a design perspective, it is clean, no bells and whistles hob that does its job. it heats my pans quickly and is easy to clean. It was very simple to install, I traced around the base of the hob, cut the hole into the countertop with a jigsaw, then dropped it in and sealed it up, no hassle. CONS: the interface is primitive, to the point it can be confusing to know what is going on because they scrimped money on the display so you only get single letter notifications and you need to know from memory what things do or mean. Overall there is little that needs to be said past this: It is a large induction hob that give plenty of room for even ambitious cooking projects in a large home. Being a glass surface it is very easy to clean when the inevitable spills happen. The Cost is higher than I would like for the feature set but it is not outrageous. The interface is a dated design I see even on 10year old induction units. it is easy to install and works reliably.

Does the job. Good value for money. Flexible layout for differing requirements. Very happy with it

We have had a few induction hobs over the years. Having bought a new house with existing Zanussi appliances (but not a Zanussi hob) we decided to upgrade to this one (along with the Zanussi ZFV919Y cooker hood). We've actually had one of these for a few months now and we are very happy. The controls are very intuitive and we've found using all rings at the same time works very well compared to other induction hobs that do not. The infrared link to the cooker hood is the icing on the cake! I have two minor complaints - there's no delay when touching the on button before the hob turns on. Beware of this if you have a cat that likes to walk on the worktop! Similarely, the childproof lock feature can be turned off by a single touch of the lock button, whereas past hobs you'd have to touch and hold. I wouldn't deduct marks for these though as I cannot fault the functionality in respect to cooking - we just turn have to turn the hob off at the wall when it's not in use.

Intuitive controls. Very good layout of the burners.

Excellent Quality and looks really smart in our new kitchen. Would recommend 100%

Absolutely perfect just what I was looking for

Delighted with the hob, looks great now it is installed, heats pans up extremely quickly and is so controllable unlike our previous ceramic hob.
