Best Cooktops

Very easy to use. Did exactly what I wanted. The controls were so obvious that I did not need the manual. Was cooking in a cast iron pot and the heat distribution was excellent. Show details

Terrible low temp just burns the food ok for everything else Show details

A joy to cook with – The ease of use and the instant rapid heat is fantastic, love the booster function. Best of all it is a dream to clean.

Request – Want to buy a gas cooktop - dimensions 86cm x 37cm Any recommendations?

Need reading glasses for controls – I returned this unit as it was faulty . It just did not want to heat up irrespective of settings when installed. Second and most importantly, the… Read more

controls when turned on are so small, I needed my reading glasses to use them. I enjoy my cooking and could foresee the stresses of having glasses next to me for cooking not to mention the other complex settings on the panel. That was the deal breaker even though I was offered a replacement for the faulty one. Then there would be the additional cost of reinstalling by a certified electrician. I have a Bosch pyrolytic oven and wanted a Bosch induction cook top to kind of match up. Sadly that wont be happening as they all seem to have the same controls layout. I have since purchased an IKEA unit that is so simple to use, no complexities with easy to read controls and half the price !!

The Cooktop had been reboxed and had a small dent in the top. Bosch said they would cover 10% damage fee only. They would not cover delivery fees to… Read more

swap over the unit, meaning I would need to remove, pick up a new unit and pay for another installation. I'm very disappointed with the quality of the cooktop, the steel is very thin and marks easily; I expected better quality from Bosch.

No receipt, no warranty – Don't forget the receipt from the store. Without it, no warranty service. My previous owner bought it since the previous one hadn't been working.… Read more

However, I haven't received a receipt. And after 8 months later, I contacted the customer service since the knob is malfunctioning. They said "Unfortunately warranty is only transferrable if you have the original purchase receipt." I wouldn't recomment anyone who is considering because of reasonable price.

Wow it's still going well – Bought this years ago. Not only keeps working but does everything well. Thought I would get another and tried a Breville - piece of you know what.… Read more

The Highlander does what I tell it, the Breville knows better . . . well it doesn't . . . stuffs most things up.

great cooktop I didn't think that I would be so impressed with it, it heats up so fast that cooking times are shorter, I've taken it out of the… Read more

camping stuff and am using it in the kitchen now next to my stove its a great addition for cooking meals at home too. I bought this cooktop from the 4wd supercentre kilburn, lower in this review when it asks where bought it doesn't let me put in the correct busines

For English Manual https://manuals.plus/xiaomi/dcl01cm-induction-cooker-manual – The Xiaomi DCL01CM Induction Cooker is a strange unit to use, though, once understood, it is the best Portable Induction Cooker I've used; and I… Read more

already own two other brands (a commercial one and a domestic one). Pressing the centre dial as per instructions turns the unit on, displaying chinese writing; you then have to press the right hand icon, as per instructions, to access the cooker's menu of cooking options.

Turning the knob one advance, sets the cooker to Hotpot mode; advance the knob again and it sets the cooker to Steam and Boil. Each advance of the knob corresponds to the numbers in the English version of the manual.

When the cooker is set to a menu item you can adjust power setting by rotating the dial and change the timer after pressing the left hand icon.

This is the strange part about this cooker: Back to when you turn the cooker on. Before you press the right hand icon, you can turn the knob to adjust the power level. The strange part: even when I turned the knob to maximum power (99) I couldn't get water to boil. When I set the menu to boil or simmer the water boils a lot quicker than either of my other two portable induction cookers.

As others have stated in reviews, the cooker does maintain constant power so things do simmer. My other Induction Cookers cycles power on and off so it boils and stops, boils and stops.

The Xiaomi DCL01CM simmering function is why I bought the cooker, and I have been pleasantly surprised by how versatile this cooker is.

So I stick with the menus and adjust time and power as to suit my needs.

So far I have had no issues with the supplied adapter plug.

Enjoy using this unique kitchen tool.

We recently purchased a 5 burner Pitt hotplate, very costly, however, it is a showpiece. When it arrived, we found some parts missing, called Haus… Read more

group who couldn't deliver the missing parts fast enough. We received the parts within a few hours of calling. Very satisfied and grateful. Amazing product and service from Haus Group Australia pty ltd. Thank you.

Beaut.. but – I’ve had the cooktop for 3 years and overall I pleased. Layout while unconventional works. Cooks and simmers well. Has plenty of heat. The trivet… Read more

really busy and therefore hard to clean. The plastic chrome caps on the dials break all the time. Very disappointed the dial settings have all but disappeared despite being very very careful when cleaning. Recommended.

STUNNING – Love the eayt to remove components for cleaning. Black glass look stunning. Cooks very well. I do keep it spotlessly clean and look after things and it looks amazing. good value Show details

It worked amazingly well! It heats up fast, uses fuel efficiently, and is super reliable even in windy conditions. The design is compact and easy to… Read more

set up, perfect for camping or hiking trips. I was really impressed with how steady the flame stayed while cooking.

Worked great, much faster than gas when using a single burner. We never got it wired in, but just as plug in it was fine. Show details

Worked well until failed at 18 months – Happy with it but it didn't last, replaced with Kmart's version which I returned after a week as it kept shutting down if ran above about 40% output, I now have the Aldi one for over 12 months and it has been the best of the cheap lot Show details

Solid unit – Simple to use and easy to adjust flame. Igniter starts burners reliably. Easy to clean and looks attractive. Solid feel and construction. No issues at this time, very happy with this appliance. Show details

DISAPPOINTING INDUCTION COOKTOP – Not sure why there is a circle to show where to put your pot, this is totally misleading as this heats only in the very centre of unit. You have to… Read more

continually move food around to cook it through and stop your food burning in the centre. Heat range - not enough control Gymicky modes (fry, boil, hotpot, soup, steam) - whats the difference? made to look more useful than it really is . Positive - slim/ looks classy Would NOT recommend this product.

Does the job! – I purchased this during our Christmas camping trip from BCF. It is a good stove, it's lightweight & compact. My only issue with it is the hot plate… Read more

that's included slightly warped after the first week. I'd recommend using your own pots and pans for cooking. Apart from that its a good stove, its easy to use & clean & stores away nicely in its own carry case.

This is the 3 burner model. Perfect for 1 or 2 people. Cooks great, way better than the gas cooker it replaced. BUT!! So easy to scratch! My daughter… Read more

in Canada has the 4 burner version and has the same problem, within days of installation the cooktop is scratched - so not just me! I've checked my cookware and it's all quality (Tefal) and smooth on the base. Doesn't affect cooking but looks horrible to have a $1,000 plus cooktop looking 2nd hand so soon.

No replacement policy – After putting up with this cooktop for nearly 2 years it is no longer working. Electrolux will not replace or refund. Show details

SMEG by name but not by nature! – Very disappointed with this cooktop! I'd love to give a glowing review but I can't. I bought it for the Smeg name and chose this as it was low set… Read more

and wanted it sunken into our new timber kitchen bench so it wasn't always in view. I have definitely regretted my purchase as I can only use 2 burners at a time due to its diamond shape. The designer was clearly a male who doesn't cook with a frypan or wok! I also found that the printing on the knobs almost rubbed off (like another review I've read) after less than 2 years of use and had to get a replacement (which is only marginally better) even though I'd not used any harsh abrasives. Dealing with Smeg was not an easy process either. I was surprised as I bought SMEG because of the supposedly good name for their quality but I'm sad to say that I am disappointed with my experience and would be very reluctant to recommend SMEG to any of my friends. So be warned! My only positive was that The Good Guys at Robina were awesome during my negotiations with SMEG and very understanding.

You get what you pay for! – The Winnings team introduced us to Siemens when we renovated our kitchen. You must ensure the induction cookware you have is compatiable with the. We… Read more

fing it Eeasy to use, easy to clean and is super fast on “boost” setting. The different zones you can use make it easy to cook different meals (small and large) and the cluster of controls are intuitive. After use and when it's cooled it's so easy to clean with a damp micro fibre cloth. I have owned this cooktop for 4 years now and it looks as good as the day it was installed.

Didn't stand the test of time.. maybe a month if that?! – I haven't had too much of an issue with this. We got this as my bro broke our last stove which was induction only .. this appealed to us as it could… Read more

use both types of pots.. Cleaning it is ok, maybe leaves some marks but you have to be scrupulous and live in a display home if you want it perfect.. I'm more concerned that the glass broke after my bro put a shopping bag on the kitchen bench and it was on the stove top and it broke! One wouldn't have thought that be impact enough to do that...!? So not very durable and now have to be careful not to cut myself when using it. Ekk..

Corrosion after 4 years – While the cooktop works fine, after just 4 years 3 of the most frequently used burners have started to corrode around the top. It is now rapidly… Read more

corroding even though we only use each burner a couple of times a week. Have only ever used a light cream cleanser or warm soapy water and of course the issue started once out of warranty period. Really disappointed.

no control over gas it would either be on low or high no in between. Now for almost 3 years i haven't experienced any of those issues on this technika cooktop. I LOVE IT!! i can actually cook with out being worried.

the fans and the service was exceptional nothing was too much trouble and to make it better rather than repairing they replaced the whole thing can’t praise this company enough
