Where to buy the AEG NII64B10AB hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The AEG NII64B10AB hob is a built-in four-zone induction model aimed at cooks who want more assistance than basic power control. SenseBoil automatically reduces boiling water to a steady simmer, while Bridge, PowerBoost, individual timers and Hob2Hood add useful flexibility. The main practical considerations are its hardwired installation, substantial electrical load and mixed zone sizes.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ SenseBoil detects rising bubbles and reduces the heat to maintain a controlled simmer
- ✓ Four zones have individual touch controls, nine power levels and separate timers
- ✓ Two zones for larger pans or griddles
- ✓ Rapid heating, with 3, 200W boosted output on both left-hand zones
- ✓ Hob2Hood can automatically adjust a compatible cooker hood
- ✓ Useful everyday control
Worth considering
- Hardwired connection only, so it is not a simple plug-in replacement
- The 7.35kW total electrical load means the available supply and installation arrangement need checking before fitting
- Only two of the four zones are 210mm; the others are 145mm and 180mm, so oversized cookware is not equally well matched across the surface
- Hob2Hood controls a compatible cooker hood but does not provide extraction itself, so a separate cooker hood is still required

Cooking performance and zone layout
The AEG NII64B10AB hob provides four induction zones with nine power levels, giving each pan its own touch-controlled setting and individual timer. The two left-hand zones are 210mm in diameter, while the right-hand zones measure 145mm and 180mm.
PowerBoost adds extra heat when speed matters. The two larger zones have a boosted rating of 3,200W, and AEG states that the function can bring water to the boil in less than 90 seconds. The Bridge function links two cooking zones, making the hob more practical for larger pans or griddles.
SenseBoil and everyday control
SenseBoil is the most distinctive feature. Its Boil Sensor detects rising bubbles and then reduces the temperature to maintain a controlled simmer, helping to reduce the need to monitor boiling water closely.
The AEG NII64B10AB hob also includes pause, a minute minder, individual zone timers and a hob timer that can run for up to one hour. Automatic switch-off and a child lock add useful control for busy kitchens.
Installation and connected features
This is a built-in hob with a nominal 60cm format. The appliance measures 610mm wide by 520mm deep, with a manufacturer-specified cut-out of 560mm by 490mm and a built-in height of 44mm.
Hob2Hood allows the hob to communicate wirelessly with a compatible cooker hood so that the hood fan can adjust according to cooking activity. It is hood control rather than built-in extraction, so ventilation still depends on a separate compatible hood.
Efficiency and ownership considerations
The hob has a stated total electrical load of 7.35kW and is designed for hardwired installation only, so the electrical supply and installation arrangement should be checked before fitting.
AEG lists an energy consumption figure of 185Wh/kg and includes an EcoTimer that can switch a zone off before the end of the cooking time to make use of residual heat. The black glass surface and matt-black frame give it a restrained built-in appearance, although the smooth surface will still need regular wiping after cooking.
