Decent, safe cooker, but a bit pricey

This is a good cooker and does what it promises:

1. full control of cooking temperature;
2. even baking,
3. safety of induction technology.

Another positive aspect is that it does not require a gap between cabinets and the sides of the cooker - it hardly gets warm on the sides, so the insulation is quite good.

There are three flaws in my opinion:

1. Apparently you cannot use the burners and the oven at the same time (protective measure perhaps?);
2. The cooker is very bulky at the back and gives no space for running pipes along the wall;
3. The thing is quite noisy and emits an annoying buzzing sound. According to the manual, noise while using induction is not a defect and is something to be expected. But I used induction before, and noise was nearly unnoticeable - not the case here.

The pros outweigh the cons, but the price tag should be a bit lower.

Great looking electric cooker but still not worked out how to use the job yet? Instructions don’t help much!

Induction heating - It's the future..

Having cooked with both Gas and Electric (ceramic hob) I have to say that Induction offers the benefits of both and non of the drawbacks.
If you have never cooked with induction hobs, the one thing you REALLY REALLY need to be aware of (and I've seen a few reviews off people complaining they did not now this) is that all pans etc must must be ferrous based - that is have iron in it's base such as some stainless steels and all cast iron and carbon steel pans. You can buy some aluminium pans with steel bases that are great.

The built in safety features of this cooker take a bit of getting used to, so reading the instruction booklet is essential and keep it handy for the first few times you use it otherwise it'll baffle you - stick with it, it's worth it!

The main oven cooks beautifully and always in recipe guidlines (time - temperature etc).
Be aware that the top oven is a little confusing at first as it automatically operates as a grill when the door is open and as an oven when the door is closed. The grill pan is basic and works perfectly as one with a metal hook on handle that will never let you down unlike my old one which had the handle break as it was over engineered.

I got mine for the bargain price of £132 as a transit damaged item with a small dent in the side although brand new and fully manufacturer warrantied.

Highly recommended appliance.
