CIARRA CBTIH2 Portable Induction Hob 2800W Double Cooking Zones with Touch Control Ceramic Glass Panel 9 Power Levels Timer Child and Safety Lock Black

I bought one of these to cover us for the three weeks our kitchen was out of action whilst a new one was being fitted. If you do your research on similar products you'll find similar comments for all of them. You're not going to be able to avoid things which I can confirm:1 - Yes, it is relatively noisy due to the heavy lifting the fans have to do.2 - Yes, you do have to pay attention during cooking as the graduation of heat control is in relatively large jumps. What this means in practise is that when simmering something you must pay attention to avoid inadvertently boililng it, or having it on too low a heat. With just a little bit of practise, patience and experience this becomes second nature.I can also provide some of my own editorial:1 - the product looks great and is large enough to accommodate two relatively large pans sumultaneously.2 - the product is easy to clean, relatively lightweight and easy to store.3 - my product was/is extremely reliable. It took something of a hammering when we were using it intensely. No complaints at all.4 - I thouroughly recommend this product. I thought it was good value for money too.

Was bought to cover a gap, whilst I was changing hobs. My introduction to induction cooking. Absolutely great, performed perfectly and fulfilled all my needs.

Sometimes if you turn it on and turn on heating it freezes until you turn it off. So during power up just take your time and it will work flawlessly.The timer feature is great, turns the heating off when it ends just as you expect and each plate has a seperate timer which is great.If you want to heat the two plates at max settings, that's not supported, only one plate can run at max at the one time, the other plate must be off, which is fair enough cause you are running into the circuit breaker limit at that point.Overall this is one of the cheapest on amazon and it works great

I bought this because I didn't want to instal a hob or sink on my island working service top. A portable hob was a better option if I wanted to cook in a different area of my kitchen or use it outside in the summer.I am impressed by how easy is to use and clean it. Not as noisy as others commented. Very good buy for the money!

I'm down sizing to a smaller home and figured as I hardly use the gas oven that instead I'd buy this hob and an air counter top cooker.This one works very well.I needed to buy a new set of pans as mine didn't work with it.A great purchase.

Really good item with decent features.Went for the more expensive Induction, albeit only slightly more costly, to ensure we get better functionality.So far we’re both impressed with it as a spare Induction hob.

This is a nice looking hob, lightweight and easy to use however on the third time of using the temperature control stopped working so rather than lowering the heat the pan stayed boiling, I also noticed that by that time the timer should of turned the hob off but it had reached zero and was still boiling away so I pressed the off button and nothing happened so had to pull the plug. Not ideal and quite dangerous so returned.

Bought this as an interim measure before replacing our old induction hob which has broken down and awaiting repair. It works well although the fan is quite noisy. But good value if you don't mind the noise.
