Induction Hob Options

Redlander

I am planning on replacing a gas hob with an induction hob. The new hob will need to be a similar size as the old or bigger to fit the hole in the work surface. That size is 70 X 52 cms.

I'd rather not pay for a special electrical supply, so I'm thinking of getting a 13 Amp model. I don't believe we usually use more than one ring on full power at the same time, so I think 13A will be OK.

So far I have only identified one model which is 13A and a suitable size - that is the Smeg SI2741DUK. Does anyone:

1. Have any experience with this particular model, or
2. Know any other models of similar size and power?

I recently bought the SI2641D model - which I assume is pretty similar - I already have the supply so no issues there.

The model seems fine - I get annoyed by the child lock but am thinking I'll read the user book and see if I can disable - it's pretty powerful so good for my needs.

Are you saying the hob is 70x52 or the hole is 70x52? 700mm is a very unusual width for a hob and the Smeg one you mention is 750mm not 700.

13A wouldn't even be able to provide full power to 1 ring on our induction hob. You say "you dont use more than one ring on full power" but not sure if you mean you want to use one on full power and one half power potentially? A friend has a 13A hob, with full power none of the other rings will work. With half power you can have 2 rings on, 1/4 power (basically keep warm only) you can have all 4 rings on.  

Note that some more powerful ones do have a step down option so even if one is 3.7kw or so they may be suitable if configured correctly.

yours is double the power that the OP is looking at.

Had a AirBnB with a Smeg induction, totally with you on the child lock. Ended up googling to find out how to turn it off.

can you confirm the size of the hole that the gas one fitted into

the hob i have (plug in) can run all.four rings at once but total.power draw cannot exceed 2800W

It is the existing gas hob that is 70 X 52 cms.
The hole beneath is 55 X 49 cms

this is the kind of thing that will work - other makes are on Amazon search for plug in induction hob
