Smeg SE2640TC

The Smeg SE2640TC is a great hob, I installed mine over 6 months and love it. It heats up at a fast rate , you do not need special pans (you would need special pans with induction) so no hidden costs. Both left or right handers can use the hob and for both no reaching to the side of hot pans is needed. The heat is controlled using one of 9 levels, and the hob is rated at 6.2Kw so a 30 amp socket (up to 7.2Kw) will be enough to power it - warning - don't throw the tiny metal v shaped thing away - when you come to install the hob you need to use it as an electrical bridge in the electrical connection box of the hob if you are in the UK! (the hob is made in Italy where the poser is a different supply type) I threw mine away by mistake but Smeg were good about it and sent me a replacement.
