Please note: This hob comes with a recirculation kit for recirculation to a back wall. Other install options such as ducting or re-circulation to plinth require a different kit which can be purchased separately.

Two jobs, one appliance. This Hisense venting induction hob puts the extractor in the middle of the glass-ceramic surface, so steam and cooking smells get pulled away as they rise rather than drifting across the room. It measures 83cm wide and sits flush in the worktop with a frameless bevelled edge. The two left-hand zones join into one rectangular area for a griddle, so Sunday pancakes get even heat from corner to corner.

The hood runs between 46dB at its quietest and 68dB at full tilt, with sound-absorbing material in the housing taking the edge off the noise. Airflow peaks at 611m³/h, and you can set it up as an extractor or let it recirculate through the charcoal filter, whichever suits your kitchen. The grease filter, drip tray and liquid collection pan all lift out from the centre of the hob for a rinse. ConnectLife on your phone adds recipe suggestions, four automatic programmes and a nudge when the filter wants attention.
