Where to buy the AEG IBK64200CB hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The AEG IBK64200CB induction hob is a focused, built-in four-zone model for everyday cooking. Its induction technology, four Booster settings, touch controls, lock functions, residual-heat indication and automatic switch-off cover the essentials well.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Four induction cooking zones with Booster settings for faster heating
- ✓ Useful power range, including a 2, 400W Booster setting on the largest zone
- ✓ Touch controls with lock and child-safety functions
- ✓ Residual-heat indication and automatic switch-off improve everyday safety
Worth considering
- Cooking areas for a large griddle or roasting dish
- Hardwired connection only, meaning installation requires a suitable electrical connection and a qualified electrician
- No documented assisted-cooking sensors for automated boiling or frying control
- The largest cooking zone is 210mm, which is less accommodating for oversized pans than hobs with larger or flexible cooking areas

Cooking performance
The AEG IBK64200CB induction hob uses four induction zones with individual Booster settings. The largest zone reaches 2,400W with Booster, while the other zones provide boosted outputs of 1,500W, 1,500W and 1,800W. That gives it a useful spread of power for boiling, frying and simmering.
The zone sizes are practical for everyday pans, ranging from 145mm to 210mm. However, the layout is based on four separate round zones rather than a flexible cooking area, so pan placement remains important.
Controls and everyday use
Touch controls provide direct selection of each zone and adjustment of the heat setting. The manual confirms a lock function, a separate child-safety device, residual-heat indication, Booster operation and automatic switch-off.
Power management helps protect the household electrical supply by reducing available power across zones when the supply limit is reached. This is useful protection, although using several zones at high settings can limit the heat available to some of them.
Design and installation
The black frameless-square design gives the AEG IBK64200CB induction hob a clean built-in appearance. The appliance measures 590mm wide by 520mm deep and is designed for a 560mm by 490mm worktop cut-out, with a 48mm installation height.
This model requires a hardwired connection and is supplied with a 1.5m connection cable. Installation must therefore be completed by a suitably qualified electrician rather than by simply plugging the hob into a standard socket.
What to consider before buying
There is no flexible bridge zone, so the hob cannot combine cooking areas for a large griddle or roasting dish. It also has no documented assisted-cooking sensors, keeping the feature set focused on manual heat control.
The largest cooking zone is 210mm in diameter, so shoppers who regularly use oversized pans may prefer a model with a larger or flexible cooking area.
