I've been eyeing up this - but not yet signed up for Which? to make sure there's not a better (and cheaper... would rather spend a good bit less) option.

Funnily enough, I was just looking at that one.
Also, via the suggestion above, I found this which comes with a 5yr warranty:

I have this one (or if not the exact model, almost identical).
It's good. Lots of power on every burner, good fine control, buttons work well, works with small pans and the bridge function is useful.
Downsides are that it will switch off after 20 seconds if you get the buttons wet (need to be properly wet, not just a bit damp) or put something metal on them. It's not a huge issue though and I think most will do something similar.
Main thing that bugs me is that using it with big pans gives quite uneven heating. I have a 28cm chef's pan and if you're using it then there's clear cooler spots where it's outside of the burner. I think this is generally an issue though and I have one of these https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Lodge-Pre-Seasoned-Rectangular-Reversible-Griddle/dp/B002CMLTXG?th=1 which I use across two bridged zones to get consistent heat.

I bought the John Lewis branded version and it's been great so far.
HERECan't remember the reason. Probably the longer warranty.
Would probably consider the AEG now as it appears to have more power levels 14 instead of 9.
Really like that all four "burners" have the same power so can easily move items around and just set the same level.

In need of a new induction hob (60cm wide). Had gas in previous property, but new place has induction which is hit and miss at the moment and showing signs of it's age.
Looking at around the £500 mark. Any recommendations?
