Samsung Induction Hob with 4 Cooking Zones, With Touch Control, Colour: Black, Material: Ceramic Glass, NZ64H37070K

This is my 2nd of this model job, my last one died after 5years for the price I was happy to buy another with the extended warranty just in case, it has many great features, one of my favourite features is that it will turn itself off if a pan spills over, it has a built in timer, it heats up immediately, it has a child lock and of course it looks fantastic, it comes with the wiring loom already attached so is very easy to hardwire in, I would definitely use a qualified electrician so as not to overload the fuse on your main board that you plan to run it off of, this is a very easy to use great looking job at a fantastic price.

Great induction hob and ease of functions still getting use to it, it looks great

Looked good but did not fit it was to deep to go into slot already made .now waiting for Amazon to pick up as I have started refund process.

We removed our gas supply as we only used gas for a four burner hob and we wanted to avoid the extortionate daily standing charge for the gas supply, which was more than the cost of the gas we were burning! This hob was easy to install, it looks very stylish, and is easy to keep clean. It does require a dedicated 16A power supply, but luckily for me I had an old oven power supply terminating in a socket next to where the hob was going, so I could use this. I fitted myself with no problems. Technically it should be fitted by a qualified electrician, but having done many domestic wiring jobs I was confident to fit it my self, and so far no one has died! The wires may look complicated as they have the option for a three phase connection, but if you know what you are doing around domestic electrics and read the instructions and the labels on the wire carefully, it is not that difficult. Please note, this hob cannot plugged into a standard three pin socket. We needed to replace most of our saucepans so they will work on an induction hob, but this was not a big deal. Cooking on the hob takes a bit of getting used to. Each 'ring' has nine power levels + a boost setting, but these power levels control the pulsing of the ring rather than the power output, i.e. on a low setting the power level of the ring is the same as on a high setting, but it pulses on and off, with only a short period of time on. As the power levels are turned up the 'on' pulses get longer, and on the 'boost' setting there are no pulses, it is just on all the time. If you have a pan on simmer or a low roiling boil, the simmer or boil also pulses i.e. the boil rises and then drops back, and then rises again. Once you get used to this, and how to achieve the power level you want, its all fine, but it is a different technique to a gas hob. The other point to be aware of is the speed of response. Old style electric hobs take time to heat up, and they then remain hot for a while after you turn them down i.e. if you have a pan that is about to boil over and you turn the ring off, the pan will still boil over unless you physically remove it from the ring. That does not happen with this Samsung induction hob, the pan will react almost instantly to a change in the power level. There is no heating up time, you turn the ring on and the pan is hot in seconds. If the pan is about to boil over and you turn the ring down, the pan stops boiling almost instantly. If anything does boil over, it's easy to clean up the smooth glass surface. We are really pleased with this hob and thoroughly recommend it.

Unfortunately our previous hob ( different manufacturer) was damaged beyond repair. Being a Samsung fan we replaced it with this particular model due to the preferred layout of the hob heating zones. Have delayed reviewing item until we had used the product for a while. Very pleased, particularly like the features of the touch screen controls. Unlike the previous hob, which would switch on when wiping the surface, (very annoying), this hob due to the better quality switching, does not occur. We also found the previous hob surface scratched very easily, but again due to obviously better quality this is not an issue with the Samsung hob. Important- unless you are proficient electrician I would definitely recommend one when installing, the wiring instructions maybe confusing

Great product easy to install, works well. While working strange sound with a fan below. Happy with a product.

I've always had a gas hob as was the most controllable. We have no mains gas but the bottles and cable were in place in our previous house. When we moved there was a ceramic hob, which I've never got on with when I've used my son's. We thought we could install the gas kit but then realised that it would be very expensive and the bottles would have to be sited where they would be an eyesore. Several friends recommended induction. And it is as good as gas plus less messy. The controls are easy to use and it has a timer although we haven't used that yet. It's fast, controllable and cool to touch very quickly after you remove the pan. Glad we made the decision.

Awful. Unable to have all jobs on high at once. No boil over protection. Once you turn down a ring it surges from high to low! Worst job I’ve ever owned. I generally like Samsung products but this is poor. I should have returned it and got something else but stuck with it now.

There’s no wall socket. So you can’t plug it into the wall. Ridiculous.
