  • Value for money maybe you can look at the Ikea ones like this one (made by Whirlpool or Electrolux):
    https://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/60284722/
    It's catered for different shapes and sizes of pots and pans and has a timer with a 5-year warranty, I've had one of their induction hobs for almost 3 years now and it's still working ok. They also have other cheaper ceramic cooktops with more basic layout:

    We assess the position, handling and setting of the controls, and the marking and labelling of the controls and burner areas. We also assess how easy each cooktop is to clean. The ease of use score is 40% of the overall score.

    Low heat setting 85%
    We cook white sauce on the simmer burner to rate the low heat setting.

    So is $900 for 2% improvement worth it?

    Any discount coupons for IKEA?
    Recommend place for the Westinghouse?

  • On jbhifi they have Westinghouse and the Electrolux 644….. Slight difference in appearance but are they the same?

    • Yeah they look the same to me except I can't seem to find the pause button on the Electrolux one.
