Klarstein Induction Hob, 3500W Electric Hobs Induction Cooker, 2 Ring Electric Pan Hob, Built-In Table Top Cookers w/ 2 Hobs, Touch Control, Inductions Heater Cooktops, Hot Plates for Cooking

Brilliant item - with TIMER function that you would expect.I'll emphasize on the Timer feature as I struggled to get hag on first. You need to press the power -> heat-level -> timer button and set the number of MINUTES. The timer is on if you see a blinking dor next to the heat-level, else it means you took too long to press the timer and it is simply alarm.

Fantastic induction hob. High quality at a reasonable price.

Not the quietest hob on the planet, and a little tricky to get the hang of if you've never used induction before. But... looks really nice and so far.....😊

This isn't perfect , however it is still good enough to receive a 5* rating .So anyway, my 17 year old Neff domino electric hob developed a slight fauIt and needed replacing , I prefer Neff but i am short the £600 the Neff induction domino would cost , as super cheap is often scary in terms of longevity , I went with something mid range , this Klarstein seemed well specified and perhaps a bit too inexpensive because of that, so I researched other products in their range and they seem to have a healthy enough review history , so I gave this a go , ordering it directly from Klarstein ( which ultimately made it about £25 cheaper in all ) .On to the review dear reader .Be aware this review is based on using it only once , and providing this review because I have nothing else to do , but if it turns nasty and bites me I will update.The controls appear complicated at first glance , but I was able to work out what to do with all the functions (except one) in under a minute , however I'm guessing that for members of the teeming moronic masses (and probability dictates you are likely to be a proud fully inducted member ) you will take 5 minutes, still not understand it , then resort to hitting it with a club of some description.So here are the sweet things , it looks well designed and elegant , which always inspires confidence. All of the functions tested work , it is easy to install.Here are the negatives, the fan is on all the time , I have a Siemens full size induction that very rarely decides to switch on its fan. The other thing is that the installation manual states this machine must be grounded , however it does not come with a green grounding wire ,(apparently that is not necessary due to there being no conductive metal in the "carapace" which you can touch) . The other thing I found interesting was the gauge of the blue and brown wires, much thinner than I would have naturally guessed , however they do the job.So if I've convinced you to purchase this on the basis of my "used only once" review , then whip your credit card out with the speed of a western gunfighter of yesteryear and join me on this adventure into the good looking but pretty much unknown .Oh yeah , it might be made in China, but the box is across the room , the cat is comfortable on my leg , and I cant be bothered to check.

Sadly the item arrived in MANY little pieces. Had to return immediately with ups driver. Item had not been packed at all well for international travel. Tried to contact Klarstein immediately to ask for a replacement as our new kitchen is being installed the end of next week. Had a reply that they would contact me as soon as possible, and our money would be refunded after they received the item, in 5 to 7 working days. Who can afford to buy another hob when they haven't been reimbursed for the item returned by the same UPS delivery !They had proof it was being immediately returned so why not reply. What is the point of them having a seller contact if they do not respond !
