Where to buy the AEG TO64IB00FB hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The AEG TO64IB00FB induction hob is a well-equipped standard-width model for everyday cooking, with four zones, a two-zone Bridge function, PowerBoost and direct touch controls. Hob2Hood and EcoTimer add convenience, while the built-in timer, pause function and child lock cover useful daily needs. The main limitations are its hardwired-only installation, absence of assisted cooking sensors and the fact that only two zones can be combined.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ A practical layout for everyday cooking
- ✓ The Bridge function creates a larger cooking area for griddles and long pans
- ✓ High peak outputs for faster boiling and heating
- ✓ Immediate selection across 14 numbered power levels
- ✓ Hob2Hood, EcoTimer, pause and timed shut-off add useful everyday automation
Worth considering
- Hardwired connection only and a 7.2kW total load mean that suitable electrical installation is required rather than a simple plug-in connection
- Automatic boil or simmer assistance
- The Bridge function joins one pair of zones rather than providing a full-surface flexible cooking area
- The 145mm front-right zone is smaller than the two 210mm left-hand zones and is less suitable for large-based pans

Flexible four-zone cooking
The AEG TO64IB00FB induction hob provides four cooking zones, including a Bridge function that combines two zones into one larger cooking area. This is useful for long cookware such as griddles and plancha-style pans, while the two 210mm left-hand zones provide the largest circular cooking areas.
The Bridge arrangement is helpful without making the hob unusually complicated, although it is not a full-surface flexible cooking zone. The other zones remain separate, with diameters of 145mm and 180mm.
Fast heating and precise control
PowerBoost provides an extra burst of heat for quicker boiling and pan heating. AEG rates the boost output at up to 3,200W on each left-hand zone, 2,500W on the front-right zone and 2,800W on the rear-right zone.
Direct Touch controls use numbered power levels from 1 to 14, allowing the desired setting to be selected directly rather than stepped through with repeated plus and minus presses. The hob also includes a pause function, a minute minder and a cooking timer that can be set for up to one hour.
Useful connected and efficiency features
Hob2Hood can connect the hob to a compatible AEG extractor hood, allowing the hood to adjust its fan speed as cooking intensity changes. EcoTimer can switch a zone off before the end of the timed period and use residual heat to finish cooking.
The official energy information lists hob energy consumption of 181.2Wh/kg. That is a useful published efficiency figure, although actual results will still depend on cookware, pan size and cooking habits.
Installation and everyday ownership
The AEG TO64IB00FB hob is designed for built-in installation, measuring 590 x 520mm externally and requiring a 560 x 490mm cut-out. Its 7.2kW total electrical load and hardwired-only connection mean it needs a suitable dedicated cooker circuit and qualified installation.
Automatic switch-off and a child-lock function add useful safeguards. The black glass surface with bevelled sides should suit contemporary kitchens, although induction cookware is required and the smaller 145mm front-right zone is less suitable for large-based pans.
