    I love an induction hob - find it as easy and controllable as using a gas hob. Given that gas will decline over the next 10-15 years, I went for a Samsung induction hob. Please don’t repeat the same mistake. They’re not great. In the end I go a refund and spent £50 more at the Miele outlet in Abingdon (70 mile drive each way) and got a job that works really well.
    Not great in what respects, jdiw?
    Although I am convinced that ind beats ceramic any day, it could be the variations between indie models that makes the difference.
    Do all indie hobs 'pulse', for example, or are some models truly controllable?
    What makes for a 'good' indie hob? The controls? Noise level? Features?

    Samsung aren’t great - poor quality and always breaking (or I’ve just been unlucky). In a year, FF, Hob, oven and built in microwave have all needed replacing.
