I want to replace our Induction hob with one that doesn't pulse on the lower temp settings.
It's areal pain in the arse and I want rid, I'd never heard about this 'fault' before discovering it on ours. It seems a quite a common 'feature' on some hobs.

So my question is how can you tell if a hob pulses before you buy one as I don't want to make the same mistake twice...?

Current hob is 59 x 52.

TIA

I had the same concerns, did a bit of research and seemed that the higher end neff, Samsung and all aeg hobs didn’t do this.

Went for an AEG in the end because a. It doesn’t pulse on low and b. I like the controls better, I didn’t want one of the +/- controls on this one you just have a touch scale for each hob. Loads easier and quicker to use.

Is this pulsing related to the amps? Mine could be set to different amps depending on how you wired it up and this affects how it heats with a few rings on.

Though you're talking about low heat levels... so maybe I'm on the wrong tack.
You could read innumerable user reviews online. Exciting!

I really don't find it that irritating.

Newer hobs are much better than the old models were. My tip is to buy the most powerful one you can find, and make sure it has 4 induction elements (so not sharing between 2 zones). That pees me off far more than the pulse at lower power feature.

We bought a Bosch one when we bought a new kitchen last year. We were told that they make the best quality induction hobs and best user interface. It had variable heating areas (detected automatically).

Thanks for replies.
Nick & Roter would it be possible you could message me the model numbers of your hobs if/when you get a chance please?

Cheers
