Where to buy the AEG NII84B10AB hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The AEG NII84B10AB induction hob is a wide, built-in four-zone model with a strong specification for busy home kitchens. SenseBoil automatically reduces boiling water to a simmer, Bridge joins two zones for longer pans, and PowerBoost provides rapid heat when needed. Separate timers, nine power levels, touch controls and Hob2Hood add practical convenience. Its main trade-offs are the larger 80cm installation footprint, hardwired connection and four-zone layout.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ SenseBoil detects rising bubbles and automatically reduces heat to a controlled simmer
- ✓ Bridge links two zones for larger or longer cookware
- ✓ PowerBoost reaches up to 3, 600W on the largest zone
- ✓ Nine power levels and separate timers
- ✓ Hob2Hood can automatically adjust a compatible cooker hood as heat levels change
- ✓ Include pause, child lock, automatic switch-off and EcoTimer
Worth considering
- Hardwired connection only means it is not a plug-in replacement and needs suitable electrical installation
- Four zones may feel modest across such a wide surface for households that regularly use many pans at once
- Automatic Hob2Hood extraction control requires a compatible cooker hood to work fully

Cooking performance
The AEG NII84B10AB induction hob has four cooking zones with a useful spread of sizes: two 21cm zones, a 14.5cm front-middle zone and a 24cm right-rear zone. PowerBoost raises the zones to between 2,500W and 3,600W, while the stated total electrical loading is 7,350W.
SenseBoil is the standout cooking aid. Its sensor detects rising bubbles and reduces the heat to a controlled simmer, which should be particularly useful for pans of water and recipes that need steady, low-temperature cooking.
Flexibility and controls
The Bridge function links two cooking zones for larger or longer pans, making the wide surface more practical for griddles and rectangular cookware. The four zones have separate touch controls, nine power levels and individual timers.
PowerBoost, pause, automatic switch-off, child lock, residual-heat indication and EcoTimer provide a strong set of everyday controls. EcoTimer can use residual heat by switching a zone off before the timer ends.
Smart features
Hob2Hood can communicate with a compatible cooker hood, allowing the hood to adjust its fan speed as cooking intensity changes. This is a useful convenience feature, but its benefits depend on having compatible extraction equipment.
The combination of SenseBoil, assisted cooking sensors and Hob2Hood gives the hob more automation than a basic touch-control induction model, without changing the underlying four-zone layout.
Installation and design
The AEG NII84B10AB hob is 80cm wide and needs a 750 x 490mm worktop cut-out, with a 44mm built-in height. That provides more lateral space than a standard 60cm hob but requires the kitchen design and worktop to accommodate the larger installation.
It has a black glass surface, matt-black statement frame, red LED display and hardwired-only connection. At 11.68kg net, it is a substantial built-in appliance and should be installed by a suitably qualified professional.
Efficiency and ownership considerations
The manufacturer's energy documentation records hob energy consumption of 183.5Wh/kg and an off-mode consumption of 0.3W. Induction cooking is inherently responsive because heat is generated directly in suitable cookware, while the EcoTimer is designed to make use of residual heat.
The feature set is strongest for buyers who will use automatic simmering, bridging and extraction control. If those functions are unlikely to be used, a simpler four-zone induction hob could offer a more straightforward specification.
