Hi all,

Head is spinning with all the options out there any suggestions from anyone who has had the same headache recently?

Hope to be in the house for a little while so wondering if a £1000 for both would be a good investment. Hob space is 60cm wide...

TIA
 
From my research (new kitchen pending) choices of double ovens seems to be shrinking, the "in" thing now seems to be a standard single oven and then a separate combi oven above it.

Yep my electrician said that's what he had done at his own place. We have one now and don't really use it enough to get one built in though.

I wanted one of the fancy slide under doors but they don't seem to so it for double ovens ...
 
One tip with a Induction Hob.
Make sure you get one with controls for each ring - Do not get one with 4 ring icons and you have to touch the ring you want then adjust temp with seperate sliding temp control. absolute PITA.
We have a Zanussi eye level double oven and it works for us.
 
I got a Neff Double Oven and Induction hob a couple of years ago now, as said above they're reducing in options, any oven you get I would recommend getting one with Pyrolytic cleaning, but nowadays they're all much of a muchness are all super efficient and quick to heat etc, will just depend what you like the look of. I had a Zanussi in my old house and worked fine until I moved out although you coudl tell it was made to a cheaper standard than the Neffs.

Yep thanks for the individual hob slider tip , thought the same , not a popular option it would seem as probably doesn't look as slick. I see AEG do one so might go for that
 
I would go for a gas hob and then spend more on a decent pyrolytic oven maybe with steam too. If you also want induction hob then you may need a separate new circuit installed by an electrician due to the amount of amps both of these require.

Presume he's already got electrics in place for the hob which should run on an old halogen hob circuit just fine.

Induction can sometimes be more than 13amp. We had to use our cooker circuit for ours which meant we were then limited to a 13amp oven unless we paid out to have an additional circuit put into the consumer unit but that would have entailed a fair amount of disruption to decor to run that.
 
We've had our Neff ovens for years and they've been great. Would happily go Neff again.
When we went to our first induction we had a Blomberg and it was kinda trash. Switched to a Kuppersbusch and far happier with that. Pays ya money I guess.
 
With electric hobs, including induction, you really want a proper 32A hob. A 13A electric hob will be a bit anaemic, think about it, 3200w potentially spread across 4 rings isn’t going to be the best experience. Our 32A induction hob will do 3.9kw through a single ring going on full pelt and plenty of power left for other rings.

Double ovens are pretty basic these days. You don’t get the self cleaning functions etc. You’ll probably be better off with a good single oven with self cleaning and a matching combo oven/microwave above it. Very few people actually use the second oven more than once a year so a combi oven/microwave is much more useful and gets rid of another appliance somewhere else.

Either way, a decent electric hob will need a dedicated 32A connection and a decent single oven will want a dedicated 16A connection and a double 32A.

In terms of brands it’s all a much of a muchness these days. We bought AEG for our recent refurb.
 
I would also say buy a powerful induction hob - I am on my second Siemens hob and when I was rewiring before we moved in I ran 10mm cable for the hob and same for oven. I used a breaker for each.
As said above we only use bottom oven and top is use to keep things warm -Only time we used a top oven was one that had a spit and used it for whole chickens.
I am certainly glad I am past the renew this and that stage.

re the double ovens, I only got our Neff two years ago and it's a double Pyrolytic oven with most of the functions I had on my old Zanussi!
 
Does anyone have any experience of Ikea's induction hobs?

I'm liking the look of the above because of the bridging modes and individual ring controls, but especially the 5 year warranty.

Alternatively, John Lewis has an own brand model, with 3yr warranty:

And I rather like this AEG:

https://www.johnlewis.com/aeg-ike64450fb-59cm-maxisense-induction-hob-black/p3629410

The prices are similar, but Ikea's warranty is swinging it for me. I actually suspect they're all made by the same manufacture because of all the similarities visually and specifications.

It's going on a 32A supply.
 
I'd go for the AEG out of those options. I had one in my old place and it was flawless for the 2 years before I moved out. Don't be so fussed on the bridging mode, I have it on my current Neff and rarely use it.
 
You see, we have rectangular pans and stuff and I hate not being able to get the heat under all of it, so want a bridging feature.

But I agree on the seperate ring controls. Current faulty hob requires ring selection, then +/- which is annoying.

We use both of our oven nearly every day. I guess it depend son how much you cook and bake. Even for simple kids meals like pizza and chips - One oven is on basic fan at 220 for chips and the other oven is in Pizza Cooking mode for the pizza. Its so much better being able to cook food at the right temperature than compromise with it all in one oven.
