Karinear Plug in Induction Hob with Flexi Zone 13Amp 2800W 2 Ring Electric Hob 30cm with 99 Min Timer Safe Lock Black 13AMP

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Induction Hob with Smart FeaturesI recently purchased the Karinear Induction Hob, Upgraded 4 Zones, and it has completely transformed my cooking experience. The 7200W power with the Boost function is impressive—it heats up pans incredibly quickly, saving so much time compared to my old hob.The flex zone is a game-changer for larger pans or griddles, offering flexibility I didn’t realize I needed. The slider control is intuitive and responsive, making it easy to adjust the heat precisely without any hassle.I also appreciate the sleek, modern design, which looks fantastic in my kitchen and is easy to clean. It’s a perfect fit for a 60 cm space and doesn’t feel cramped even when using all four zones at once.Installation was straightforward, and the safety features, like the child lock and auto shut-off, provide great peace of mind.Overall, this hob offers excellent value for money, combining functionality, style, and efficiency. Highly recommended!

This is so much better than my broken Beko one. Full range heat control, boost setting can be useful.

So, I ended up dropping something on this hob so the hob glass cracked (honestly... get a hob cover). Hob worked really well in general, however the controls were a bit annoying and long winded. I ended up buying the standard version without the flexi zone. The controls are a lot more straightforward/better on the non-flexi version. I think the heating is slightly different, but for my needs it works well (still need to figure out the boost function). I didn't think I would actually use the flexi function anyway. I needed something that would fit the cutout exactly so went with the other version. Would still recommend both, but thought I'd share this.Fyi "Lo" is what comes up for the child lock, for some reason this isn't written anywhere, not even in the manual.

Quick and easy to install even though I did have to make the all a little bit bigger as mine was 55 and this one is 60 over than that seems okay for now

I love the clean simplicity of this hob. I've always found touch control hobs unintuitive and difficult to use. Also, features like timers sound like a good idea, but just add to the complexity - I've not had a timer on a hob for years, so why start now? The Karinear has one on/off touch control, then two rotary knobs. Simple. Easy to use. Easy to see what you have set. This is really well designed.Cooking: As near to gas as you can get using electricity, better actually because I find it more controllable.Fans: The unit has a fan underneath that keeps the hob temperature controlled. It comes on when you start using the hob at a low speed, then ramps up if you use the hob for a long time. I don't find this intrusive, it is similar to that produced by a fan oven or microwave, so to be expected. The fans are hidden anyway, which helps, because they sit underneath the unit which is built into the worktop.Power level: this hob can be used with a 13 amp socket, this was important to me because I have it installed on a boat. There is plenty of power to get a really hot stir-fry going, or big casserole. I don't think the extra power would have helped me, just meant added complexity of having to use a 16amp circuit. This is perfect.

I purchased this after my last induction hob shattered. It arrived in 2 days and it was really easy to install. It's hotter than my last one and I like that the heat starts at 5 instead of zero so I don't need to press buttons so often. Small pans fit easy too. Looks good. And easy to clean.

Large frypans cover the controls. I also have an induction friendly saucepan, but it does not recognise it. It is not warped or damaged in any way. Other than that it is ok,

I Purchase this product back in August. It worked really well and was very pleased with it but after a few months it developed a fault. It's still worked but you sometimes have to switch it on and off at the mains to make it operate. It was outside the Amazon return period but I am a leaving a five-star review because the manufacturers response was excellent. They sent a new unit so very pleased with customer service. The product is very nice to use as well and I would recommend.
