Are you looking for a new induction hob for your kitchen? So are we. Have a look at this. This is our IKEA BLIXTSNABB induction hob. And yeah, we've revealed a bit of the electronics here when a member of the family had enough of it. We've had this for about 5 years and we've Oh, I I think we've had a bit of a hate hate relationship with it. So, it's awful that this has happened, but actually it's probably time to get a new one. Anyway, I went to John Lewis in Oxford Street in London to look at 30 induction hobs. I'm going to show you everything I saw. This is for looks only with these induction hobs because I'm shallow and also because none of them are plugged in. Here's an induction hog. This is the Smeg. Oh my goodness. SIM3964D

1,600 quid.

Looks nice. Very minimalist control.

And this is I don't know what this is. The Siemens. Looks good. I don't know what this is. This the Siemens one again. Minimalist controls. Then we have the Bosch PIE631BB5E 60 cm induction hob. Oh, I like that one. Nice big obvious rings.

And I guess you select the ring there. And then there's the up and down button there. This one is £499.

This looks kind of solid. I think Bosch and Neff are the same thing, aren't they? It's the same company. They got the same address, I think. And this is a Bosch PIX631HC1E for £700. So, we got two big rings there. And we've got a multi-use area here. And that's what the controls look like. Oh, hob shopping. How many people will see this? Oh, right. So, these are Right. So, these are the value ones. So, we got a Bosch series 2 PKE61RAA8B 60 cm one. It looks exactly the same as the £500 one, but it's £244 and we've got four rings. Simple controls there. It's a Bosch.

I think our one might be a bit wider. I think our one is this... is that shape. There's another 60 cm here. Oh, with knobs. Oh my god, it'll be so good to have knobs. This is 233 pounds. There's a warming button. Oh, I love the knobs.

Okay, moving on. This is the Bosch series 6 PIV831HB1E. Yeah, this is the size we need. Simple

controls. This one is £900.

And then the Bosch PXV... Oh, I should show you the the signage, shouldn't it? So, that was that one. This is the Bosch PXV831HC1E 

three pot areas, and a multi-function area with simple controls.

So, what size is this one?

I can't tell.

I think these are gas hobs.

Where's one here? So, this is the Bosch PUG61RAA5B hob for £285

with the minimalist control. Look at that scratch. That's just being on display. That's how it'll end up in our place.

It looks like only one has one ring has the boost. Maybe that's the cost. And then £359

for this Bosch. Doesn't say what model it is. There's the controls. I think that's too short for us. That looks like a 60 cm one, but there's no labels. There's an AEG one. Again, no label.

Think there's a gas. Oh, right. So, this is AEG. This is £750. TK85IM00FB.

That looks like the size of ours. Does it say 78 cm?

Doesn't say the width. So, I'll show you the label again. It's a bit faded. Oh, yeah. Width is 78 cm. Wow. Some of them look bigger even though they're standard 78 cm size.

And then this is the AEG IKX64301CB.

That one is 279. I don't think it's 78 wide though.

And I love this one. It's nice and matte matte finish. It's too short for us. This is £459.

The John Lewis code is 890611.

And then underneath,

oh, I love this. I really like this. I like that it's matte black. I wonder if it scratches less. These are the controls. And this is John Lewis number show you 890504

I think for £769.

Really like that one. Bridge zone SaphirMatt.

So onto the next wall of hobs. This is the Neff T66NUX4A0 and it's got a... a matte finish. I like that. Looks really good. Very minimalist control and it just looks like it's all uh multizone.

So this is the Neff N70 T66FHX4L0. It's a 60 cm width one, £700. Just lots of multi-zone areas and a weird control there. That chip. That's how easy it chips. That's why I want this kind of thing. I don't know if it's more expensive. And then did I do the one underneath? Can't remember. No. So this is the Neff T56FHS1L0 £550 multi-zone area two pot area. These are 60 cm ones. Two pot multi-area.

It's that one. T66FHE4L0. The other one is that one.

Sorry about the wobbly, shaky footage. It's the best I can do. Right now, we're on to the Oh my god, this looks really wide for me. The width. Let's have a look here. It's a Neff T69. Hasn't got width. This looks way wider than 78 cm.

That's £1150. The next one's £900. That looks like a 78cm. Oh, this width is 80cm. So, we've got a bit of extra. I wonder if it fits a 78 hole. We've got three pots. Control multi-function area. That is this one here.

The next one. This is for a grand, the Neff N90. I mean, it just looks identical.

That's that one. And then this one, the Neff T58. Oh, it doesn't open. Don't want to break it. Looks identical.

£920 for a Miele

Four hot areas. That looks like a bit of a dead area. Maybe put things for cooling there. Nice simple controls. That's this one. The KM7373.

These are two I think they're 60 cm ones. Yeah, this is the Miele KM7361FL for £850 four pots areas like before. And this one, KM7464. This is for £1,500. It looks identical, but it's got a chrome edge to it. So, I suppose that protects it, which might be worth a bit of extra money. Two pots, one multi-area, but I think this one is 60cm wide. Okay, two more drawers around the corner here. We've got the John Lewis JLBIIH806. This is for £480 reduced.

This looks okay. Uh so John Lewis branded. Um lots of pot areas. Got one, two, three, four, five pot areas and five separate controls in the John Lewis font there. I don't know if that's coming across on camera there. It's shiny surface. Bit difficult to to do. That looks like a contender. I don't know who makes them though. this. There's always a problem when John Lewis stuff goes wrong cuz it's not made by them and then they have to refer you to someone else which is a pain in the hole. Then we got this John Lewis one just a different width with four pot areas and Samsung. Wow. Samsung product. It's a 60cm one. So that's the John Lewis one there. Pause the video. We got the Samsung NZ64 hob there

and it's got the Smart Things thing on it. I don't... I hate smart things. I just want to press a button and it works. And then I think these are gas hobs. Let's have a look. Yeah, they're gas. Oh, happy days. I remember. Then that's a invisible one there.

So that's it. Those are the the hob options in John Lewis right now. Oh man, I haven't seen one that's leapt out.
