Awful for 2 cooking rings as only one zone works reliable Anonymous reviewerAs everyone says almost impossible to get both cooking zones operating at the same time despite implementing the instructions about power management implicitly and having both rings on low settings it still cuts out one of them. Very, very frustrating.
I can’t believe IKEA is still selling this faulty product when it does not perform as promised. Obviously a big fault with over sensitivity of power management feature.
Just don’t buy if you need 2 cooking zones. 1
Both zones not working togetherAnonymous reviewerThis is the 2nd Tillreda hob as the first was unable to run both zones at the same time. The 2nd is exactly the same- soon as i put power on both only one works, even is zone 1 is on a low power level, soon as i select the other zone the first one goes back to 0. Complete rubbish, not fit for purpose. Tried unplugging for 30mins, checked Pans are induction compatible, but nothing. Not going to bother with a 3rd time, might just get 2 singles.1
2 Zones don't work simultaneouslyAnonymous reviewerIt’s a bit inconsistent in use. I bought this expecting to be able to run both hobs at the same time (within the combined power limits), but more often than not, turning on the second hob switches the first one off, even when both are set low. It does work occasionally, just not reliably, which makes it feel quite similar to using a single hob.2
The 2 zones do not workAnonymous reviewerThis hob do not deliver what was advertised.. the 2 zones do not works simultaneously like it should. Very often it works but by mistake...1
Blew up just after 2 year guaranteeAnonymous reviewerUntil it blew up I loved it worked a treat in my tiny kitchen. Just after the two year guarantee it dramatically stopped working and blew a fuse in my flat.3
Hob not working on both rings at the same time Anonymous reviewerI’m very disappointed as this is the first time I’ve tried it I’m both rings at the same time and is the same as everyone else’s review turn one on it turn the other one off1
Cooking uselessAnonymous reviewerI needed the 2 x hobs that are supposed to work simultaneously (up to certain combined power levels) On odd occasions it works. Usually, attempts to run both hobs at the same time fail. Which ever second plate you activate will switch off the other one, even when setting both power levels at their lowest. I might as well as bought the single hob for half the price.1
Very goodAnonymous reviewerI bought it when my induction hub stopped working until I got it fixed.5
Love itAnonymous reviewerMake sure you have the correct cookware and you'll be surprised at how energy efficient, fast and effective this is as a cooking hob. Far superior to our old gas hob. Poached eggs to die for. No regrets.5
dual hob very unreliableAnonymous reviewerSpecifically bought this as the 2 hobs are supposed to work together at certain powers up to a joint limit.
Sometimes it works, more often it just switches off the other one even with power settings of 1 each
Very disappointed.1
How do I exchange this item for one that works?Anonymous reviewerLike others this was initially great, but you can't use both rings at the same time and that kind of defeats the object. Is this part of a faulty batch?3
Tilreda mobile hob.Anonymous reviewerWorking a treat, very happy with it.4
Hate this thingAnonymous reviewerExpe give if you can't use it, doesn't allow for smaller pans, chooses to work when it wants, didn't try again, useless and not fit for purpose1
Problem with both hobs at same timeAnonymous reviewerSometimes they work together, but mostly they won't. Not the pans, both work independently on each area. Not the power settings even if both are set at low power levels. The instructions clearly state both can be used at the same time. On the extremely rare occasion they do work together it is very good however. Can only give it one star, we bought it for two hobs at the same time, to work like this all the time. 1
Impossible to use as intendedAnonymous reviewerThere might be a fault in electrical installation, but every time I tried to use two plates simultaneously, the one that was already on - switched off. Which was a shame, because I had such high hopes for it. Otherwise, it was easy to install (just plug it in) and operate (as long as you remember to switch off accidental touch lock).1
As good as a fitted oneAnonymous reviewerThis portable induction has saved our meals during renovations and has functioned just as well as our full sized fitted one. A little noisy but really not that problematic as it does the job very efficiently with great power. 5
Lovely product.Anonymous reviewerLovely product. Very good.5
One hob switches the other offAnonymous reviewerAs soon as one turns the second hob on, the other one switches off, rendering it effectively a one hob product. Had the same issue with another, so took it back and exchanged, hoping it was a single faulty item, but seems deeper than that. Apparently both hobs should work together up to a moderate level, but in my case one was on level one, and turned off as soon as the second was on. Had also switched on and left for 10 mins to stabilise, as per manufacturer suggestion, to no avail. V disappointed as we are more than happy with a single hob equivalent, so much so that we decided to upgrade to the two hob1
both hobs dont work at same timeAnonymous reviewergot it for moving house as we didnt have an oven, took till using it to realise both hobs dont work simultaneously and nowhere on instructions mentions on how to navigate this1
PerfectAnonymous reviewerThis is my first induction hob and I really like it. Not too heavy, easy to use and works great. Definitely recommended!5
