Looks nice terrible design.Anonymous reviewerPurchased this for our kitchen remodel. Looks lovely and extractor visually pulls moisture/smells down....however!!!!.....leaves pools of moisture on the floor and the extractor stinks of grease despite regular cleaning of the mesh and grill. The unit design makes it impossible to get inside to clean out fat residue caught under the fan. Now my beautiful kitchen stinks like a fast food restaurant and I've tried everything to get inside (and i only cook with tiny amounts of olive oil). For £1400 I'd expect a better design. And of course ikea passes all issues on to outside agencies/companies, so trying to resolve anything is painfully slow. I'd avoid at all costs.1
Puddle of water in floorAnonymous reviewerThe hob itself is brilliant however the extractor fan is dreadful. It left a puddle of water on the floor. We had to put a towel down to prevent slipping. Would not recommend. We had to replace the product. 1
Love it! So efficient! Easy to use! Just brilliant! Anonymous reviewerIt is a brilliant addition to the kitchen! Easy to clean, quick cooking! Just brilliant. 5
Working fineAnonymous reviewerGreat Product4
Very BigAnonymous reviewerBought this for our new kitchen (not ikea) and when fitting you need 8cm at the back plus the depth of the hob. This isn't in the manual so be careful. Additionally it overhangs into the carcass of the unit on either side. Assume that this will fit in an ikea kitchen unit, but I had to bring it back unfortunately.3
Strongly recommend venting externallyAnonymous reviewerWe bought this hob in 2022 and were initially impressed by its clear layout, user-friendly controls, easy cleaning, and efficient heating. We used the recirculation option with the supplied charcoal filter, maintaining it per instructions.
After two years, we noticed a greasy smell when using the extractor. The issue is a design flaw: you can't open the fan unit for cleaning, which causes the smell. Cleaning the grease filter didn't help.
We tried to order a new charcoal filter via IKEA but were redirected to Hotpoint. Their customer service was poor; we were passed between departments, and no one knew about the hob or filter. Eventually, we were quoted £150 for a new filter. We doubted replacing it would solve the smell since the fan unit can't be cleaned.
We decided to vent externally, which made a big difference. If considering this hob, we strongly advise against using recirculating mode. Also, consider alternatives with better filtering and cleaning access.3
Works fine until you need to change the charcoal filter.....Anonymous reviewerI've spent an hour trying to remove the plastic casing for my Fordelaktig hob. Due to the way its installed it's impossible to get at all the screws so I can't remove the casing. Design disaster from IKEA.
Decent enough to cook with.3
Soooo good!Anonymous reviewerAs we have just moved house I couldn't live without this hob, so I've purchased another for my new kitchen.
Having the extractor in the centre of the hob works soooo much better than a traditional hood type.
It's 5 stars all round apart from fitting the extractor outlet, especially when you want to vent it out of a side wall underneath the cabinets, hence the 3 stars. But it can be done just takes a little thought on behalf of the kitchen fitter. My fitter has had to do it twice now so he's asking me not to move again!5
