Where to buy the AEG TN64IA00XB hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The AEG TN64IA00XB induction hob is a capable four-zone model for everyday cooking. Its strongest features are rapid induction heating, PowerBoost on every zone, individual touch controls, a pause function, timed shut-off and Hob2Hood compatibility. The stainless-steel frame and 46mm built-in height suit a standard built-in kitchen installation. However, it has no flexible bridge zones or assisted cooking sensors, and the hardwired-only connection adds an installation requirement. It is best suited to buyers who want dependable induction cooking and useful convenience features rather than advanced automatic cooking technology.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Fast induction response with PowerBoost available for rapid boiling and high-heat cooking
- ✓ Four useful cooking zones with boost ratings up to 3, 700W
- ✓ Hob2Hood can automatically adjust a compatible AEG cooker hood
- ✓ Good everyday usability
Worth considering
- No flexible bridge zones, so two cooking areas cannot be combined for a large griddle or oversized pan
- No assisted cooking sensors, meaning there is no automatic pan-temperature or boil-assistance system
- Hardwired connection only, so it cannot be connected using a standard plug
- The four-zone layout is conventional rather than expandable, limiting flexibility for unusually large cookware

Cooking performance
The AEG TN64IA00XB induction hob provides four cooking zones with a maximum total electrical load of 7,350W. The front-left zone has a 2,300W standard rating and 3,700W boost rating, making it the strongest zone for quickly bringing larger pans to the boil. The remaining zones range from 1,400W to 1,800W normally, with boost levels up to 2,800W.
Induction heating gives rapid temperature response and precise adjustment, while PowerBoost adds a short burst of extra heat when speed matters. The four zones are conventional rather than bridgeable, so the layout is best suited to normal saucepans, frying pans and standard-sized cookware.
Controls and everyday use
Individual touch controls let you adjust each cooking zone separately. The hob also includes a pause function, a minute minder and a timer that can switch a zone off automatically after the set period. These features make it practical for routine simmering, boiling and timed cooking.
Hob2Hood is a useful convenience feature if paired with a compatible AEG cooker hood: the hood can adjust its fan speed in response to the hob. Child lock, automatic switch-off and residual-heat indication add sensible safety functions for a family kitchen.
Design and installation
The black hob has a Super Flat XL stainless-steel frame and measures 576mm wide by 516mm deep. Its stated cut-out dimensions are 560mm by 490mm, with a 46mm built-in height. AEG's OptiFix installation system is intended to simplify fitting, although the appliance requires a hardwired connection rather than a standard plug.
At 10.24kg net, the hob is substantial enough for a fixed built-in installation. The red LED display is functional and clear, while the smooth surface should be straightforward to wipe down after cooking.
Main limitations
The lack of flexible bridge zones means the hob cannot combine two cooking areas for a large griddle, roasting dish or oversized pan. It is therefore less versatile than bridge-equipped induction models for entertaining or specialist cookware.
There are no assisted cooking sensors, so the hob does not provide automatic pan-temperature or boil-assistance functions. Buyers wanting guided cooking features will need to look higher up the range.
Hardwired connection only adds an installation requirement and means it cannot simply be plugged into a suitable socket.
