Pros & Cons
Pros
The smooth surfaces makes it easy to clean. Overall a solid 10/10 for value. Would recommend. Amazon. Co.
You can't go wrong with russel hobbs, it's ideal if you dont need a larger cooker. It's nice and easy to clean and cooks well and heats up nice.
My only gripe is that it can be hot without a visible sign, so you need to be careful after you have finished using it. It's not as powerful as our old gas hob or the fitted induction hob we now have, but it is plenty hot enough for frying and boiling... Read More

Quality

Shipping
The delivery guy warned me that i couldn't plug it into the mains, so we had to wait a while until our kitchen renovation was d... Read More
Packaging/appearance

Competitiveness
I cannot understand why some people have said it's slow to heat when it's better than many commercial ranges i've used in the past.

Be warned they do create a small amount smoke when doing this which can be a bit alarming

I think other reviewers may have not read the instructions and assumed this was a dangerous fault

It does make me wonder how portable it really is as after you do the burning off thing it clearly no longer has the travelling support
