Deal on Induction Hob?

Mango Joe

We bought an induction hob (Bosch) with the usual ceramic top but no perimeter frame. These have a slight gap between the edge and the work top which allowed the hob to crack once there was usual day to day use.

- Be warned, those frames are essential....!

Anyway 400 euro worse of am hoping someone on here can advise on where I can buy a 60cm framed induction hob. Will consider any vendor anywhere etc.

Thanks folks.....

Hob was €399 - replacing glass costs €400 have been told this by retailer and another separate repair company.

Fantastic situation, especially as you pay more than the new list price and then are out of warranty anyhow etc!

- If anyone knows of an avenue where a repair make sense I'd appreciate help etc.

Find it brilliant already had le crueset and circulon so both suited super speedy to heat up

good stuff.
my main gripe was when boiling spuds they went mushy!
