Best AEG Induction Cooktops

Cooks so nicely. Power modulation is so quick, virtually instant response. Lots of little things combine tomake a lovely cooking experience. Boiling… Read more

water for pasta from cold using power boost takes about 90 seconds (obviously depends on the amount of water more water = slower. less water = faster).

By comparison, our previous conventional electric cooktop took about 7-9 minute ballpark for the same amount of water in the same Tefal saucepan.

Gas cooktops in previous rentals took around 4-5 minutes for a similar amount of water in the same saucepan to come to boil.

From what I gather, ones experience with induction is heavily dependant on whether ot not your saucepans are Induction compatible. Our Tefal handleless saucepans (see my other review for details on them) have been Induction ready for years, possibly even design optimised for induction with big thick bases so maybe that helps a lot with getting the power out of induction.

Back to the cooktop..

Power modulation is quick, not quite instantaneous but close enough. Bump it up a few seconds later its there bubbling away, bump it down, moments later the heat is down.

For example, cooking poached eggs is a breeze - boil the water using power boost, drop it to power level 7. poached eggs ready to serve in less than 7 minutes from cold water start.

The slide to cook function using the left side is cool. The power is set to hot close to the front, middle power in the middle and simmer at the back. You just physically place the saucepan to the power level you need at the time. It's hard to really explain but it works well in practise

Individual timers on each of the 5 coils are nice.

Individual "Burner" controls are nice too - our old electric cooktop you had to go into each "burner" one by one to adjust them which was a nuisance when two or more pots on the cooktop. This is just touch and set as needed.

The pause function is nice as it keeps food warm but not cooking which is good when sequencing food ready for serving.

There is a useful residual heat indicator for each coil to let you know if the cooktop is still hot.

And if you put a pot on the cooktop, a light will illuminate to show you which control it is for.

The much else to really comment on - it just works, and is fast and responsive. Not really sure what else is required out of a cooktop anyway. Too early to know on long term reliability but being from a brand under the Electrolux group, I expect many many years. Time will tell but so far so good.

Excellent cooktop – I like this induction cooktop a lot. I chose it to replace a Bosch one with the most awful fiddly controls which I could not tolerate any longer… Read more

after struggling with it for almost a year. I wanted a Miele as I’d had one before, liked it and knew the controls were simple, but the cutout dimension didn’t quite work. So I chose this one instead, and am very pleased with my choice. The beveled edge is most attractive, and having no frame also makes it super easy to clean. Most importantly, the unit is as easy to use as my previous induction tops (excluding the dreadful Bosch). Simple — just switch the unit on (one touch), then select the plate and power level. Even easier, pop a pan on the chosen plate and it highlights that one for me, so I only need to select the heat level. Increase, decrease or turn off individual plates is just one touch. (The Bosch? Don’t ask — multiple touches of a tiny target, grr) I agree with another reviewer the front controls are a bit close to the plates and as you aren’t supposed to put pans on the controls, this is an issue. It won’t recognise a small stainless steel saucepan I have used without issue on another cooktops, amd aim disappointed about that, so it isn’t perfect. But to me these are minor gripes compared to its ease of use and sleek design. Fast, efficient, easily cleaned, attractively styled and so so easy to use. Everything a good induction cooktop should be.

Summary: This is our second AEG stove that has failed since March 2023. The stove does not do as it says it will and we have found the AEG customer… Read more

service experience subpar. We are in our third week now with no stove and no idea when our stove will be repaired or replaced.

Full review: Our AEG induction stovetop zones does not work well or at all. We first notified AEG of the issues we have in March 2025, less than a year from our AEG replacement stove.

We contacted AEG and eventually booked in a tradie to ascertain the issue. The issue was thought to be the left hand side component had failed, and another trade weeks later visited with the part. This part was not configured and therefore not working. Both trades, ironically, own gas stoves. And we now have no stove at all.

AEG customer service is perhaps the worst I have experienced. All we need is a part to be fitted and now into the third week of no stove - at all. We have not received any communication from AEG about when our stove will be repaired despite repeated attempts on our behalf to contact customer service. When customer service are contacted they are defensive and often without a clue about the issue. Unfortunately, it seems their main tactic is to delay our call another week. They do not respond to emails.

This model is a replacement for our AEG induction stovetop AEG IKE95471FB that failed in early 2024, we experienced the same level of poor customer service last year.

AEG if you read this, it would be good if you responded to all your customers who have faulty products with a willingness to fix the issues. If you cannot fix the issues, you should be offering to replace every faulty cooktop you have sold instead of stringing along customers. We use our stovetop every single day, not having a stove is impacting us significantly.

Pros: - looks good

Cons: - only really works on settings 6 and above on all three zones - makes a buzzing noise when heating - does not heat as fast like we expected on an induction - retains heat after use (our previous induction to AEG did not retain heat) - this is the second stovetop that has failed at our family home by AEG (this one is the replacement, and didn't make it to 12months) - customer service is often abrasive and unwilling (or unable ) to offer any support or forward movement to rectify the issue - customer service blames the installer when an AEG installed this stove under warranty - customer service placed us on hold for over 10mins to read the notes on our file - customer service hanging up or allowing the call to expire after 20mins on hold - customer service not answering emails - customer service delaying part replacement by saying "I will check up on this and give you a call next week", but then not calling - we cut our stone benchtop larger to accommodate the AEG cooktop, limiting our choices

Video shared, 1min of a 2:42min. The video shows an egg cooking, the author of this review is speaking and says that it has been on level 6 for about a minute. During the video the stove is put to level 9 which is a the highest numbered setting. The stove begins to buzz and the egg can be seen to gradually cook on the highest setting at level 9. The video shows other food cooking, lambs fry and bacon, and a pot of potatoes.
