This is a good ceramic hob, nice distribution of plate sizes 2x large, 2x small opposite each other which works well. Major flaw of any of these ceramic hobs (I have had a few) is that you cannot rest a pan / tray e.g. that has been taken hot out of the oven straight on top without the buttons going mental and turning on the plates whilst you're trying to juggle everything hot (even if the lock is on!). This isn't however specific to this hob, they all do this in my experience of 3 different hobs so far! Design fault for sure as this would be wonderful extra surface space if you weren't so terrified of it turning itself on behind your back! However you are unlikely to find a touchscreen one that doesn't behave like this. If you do please let me know!
