“1) The pan supports do not support saucepans very...”

1) The pan supports do not support saucepans very well. Pans can easily tip over. I have found that you have to position your saucepan/frying-pan in such a way that the handle is actually in line with one of the cross-lines of the support.

2) The rubber feet on the pan supports do not stay fixed into the holes, so you have to hold them in place whilst putting the pan support back into place after cleaning. Very tricky if you have to hold all 4 in place! The rubber feet easily come out when washing the supports (and easily go down the plughole), they are cheap to replace but the charge for p&p is ridiculously high.

3) I cannot get the pan supports clean - dare I use oven cleaner on them?

4) I have the hob fixed into a normal depth worktop with a tiled wall backsplash. However the positioning of the larger of the 4 normal burners (not the wok burner) does not allow me to use my largest frying pan because the pan rests against the tiled wall. But I guess that if the larger burner was towards the front of the hob, the heat could melt the control knobs.

5) It is extremely difficult to keep it clean, the glass top shows every little spatter, streak and water mark
