Good cheap not tacky cheapRoszarieWe were looking for an alternative to electric stovetop (expensive and frustrating when it goes off the boil) and benchtop gas (dangerous, wobbly and apparently bad for health because of fumes).
After a slew of research we took a punt on a Tillreda and are stoked!
Addressing the Cons:
• Four seconds to disable the Child lock is *pfft* no hassle.
• We had enough suitable cookware to offset the fact that not all of our existing pots could be used on the induction cooker.
If a magnet stuck to it, we were good to go. I only had to purchase one saucepan for specific needs (because I wanted a particular size with a pouring lip) and
• Nobody in our house has a pacemaker
Pros:
• Cheap to buy and run
• Small footprint on bench and in cupboard
• Easy to clean AND
• It's only a couple of extra minutes for "wok hei".
The same applies to pots & pans that may be larger than the central cook zone.
Overall, feels like a bonus at a discount price.4
Love itAlineWe love it and use it everyday. We are renting and the owners do not want to change the cooktop. It's easy to place anywhere and will boil water super quick! The best thing we purchased this year5
GreatCatherineperfect for extra festive cooking or even out and about5
Induction cooktopVickiBrilliant little cooktop. Performs exactly how it’s supposed to. Love it.5
An excellent buyRichardNice size, light weight, good heat generation. I use it outside now as replacement for the gas burner next to my bbq. Can handle flat bottomed wok as well, really very good. Yes, the ventilation grills on the side may fill with food from the pan, so far I have been careful and and successful in keeping it free from spillage.5
FantasticRussellI bought this to use on our recent road trip to Western Australia to cut costs as we were staying in motels and buying every meal would have cost an arm and a leg.
It was perfect as it was easy to carry in the car and cooled down quickly making it simple to cook breakfast before we then packed up the car in time for check out.
I'd certainly recommend the product and at $49 it's a bargain!5
Better 2nd timeSandiFirst one worked once & died. This one IKEA supplied gratis which was most appreciated. Packed much better than the 1st one that may explain it’s reliability so far.
It heats very fast, very responsive, fits an 8 litre pressure cooker no problem.4
Fantastic quality productAprilThis little hob is so easy to use, and heats very quickly.5
Great cooktopDanielWe are traveling in a caravan Funtime and our Tefal induction cooktop blew up. Owing to reviews we ordered this cooktop and could not be happier. It is so much more efficient and easier to use than the Tefal. Great product.5
Works well but missing a timer functionWai KongIt heats up quickly and looks sleek. However, I wish it had a timer function so it could automatically turn off after a set time. I know this feature is available in other markets, so I'm not sure why it's missing from the Australian version.4
Compact and QuietDeanneVery handy and easy to use. The internal fan is quieter than many other brands, which is perfect for my small flat. Other brands I have used were so loud they drowned out the TV and conversation.4
So good!EdilaneSo good we bought two! 5
TILLREDAPatriciaSo easy to use & clean5
Missing Timer functionAnonymousI used this product in the past and purchased this again without noticing that the timer function is gone. It is very disappointing to remove this important function which I usually use it. Hope the manufacturer can re-consider this VAVE of the product in the next move. 1
Induction HobCaroleThis induction hob works so well. Heats very fast and cooks perfectly.5
Good low cost induction hot plateElizabethI use this in the alfresco kitchen. It’s every bit as good as my kitchen induction hot plates but has the advantage of being portable. I have been using it once to twice a day for the last (approximately) 3 months. I would buy this item again. 5
Great portable stoveCharlotteEasy to use and cheaper than my electric stove, I use this all the time. 4
REPEAT PURCHASEEricWe have owned a Tilreda hob for many years and were so pleased with it that, when the need arose, we bought this (second) one 5
Excellent portable hobRavinderHave used it extensively and performed well, no hitch. Sleek and easy to clean, better than earlier one we had. Highly recommended.5
