Where to buy the AEG TO64IB00FZ hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The AEG TO64IB00FZ hob is a four-zone, 60cm built-in induction model with a 7.2kW total load and a Bridge function across the two left-hand zones. It offers fast PowerBoost heating, direct 1–14 touch control, Hob2Hood connectivity, useful timer functions and a matt SaphirMatt surface designed to reduce visible scratches and fingerprints. It is particularly well suited to cooks using large or elongated pans, although the hardwired connection and manual-only cooking guidance should be considered before installation.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Four induction zones with useful 210mm left-hand cooking areas
- ✓ The two left zones for long pans and plancha-style cookware
- ✓ PowerBoost reaches up to 3, 200W on each left-hand zone
- ✓ Direct 1–14 touch controls make heat-level selection quick and clear
- ✓ Matt SaphirMatt finish is designed to reduce visible scratching and fingerprints
- ✓ Hob2Hood, Pause, EcoTimer and multiple timer functions add practical convenience
Worth considering
- Hardwired connection only, so it is not a plug-in replacement and installation must be planned around the kitchen's electrical supply
- There are no assisted cooking sensors, leaving boil and frying control entirely manual
- The smaller front-right zone is limited to 1, 400W normally and 145mm in diameter, making it less suitable for large pans than the left-hand zones
- The Bridge function operates only across the two left-hand zones rather than creating a flexible cooking area across the whole hob

Design and installation
The AEG TO64IB00FZ hob is a 590mm-wide built-in induction model with a two-sided bevelled edge and a matt black SaphirMatt glass surface. Its required cut-out is 560 x 490mm, with a 44mm built-in height.
Connection is hardwired rather than plug-in, so installation needs to be planned around the kitchen's electrical supply. The 7.2kW total load provides substantial available power but may require appropriate circuit provision.
Cooking performance
Four induction zones cover everyday pan sizes, with two 210mm zones on the left, an 180mm rear-right zone and a smaller 145mm front-right zone. The two left zones each reach 2,300W normally and 3,200W with PowerBoost.
PowerBoost is useful when speed matters, with the manufacturer stating that it can bring water to the boil in under 90 seconds. The maximum boost duration varies by zone, from four minutes on the smaller front-right zone to ten minutes on the larger zones.
Flexible cooking and controls
The Bridge function joins the two left-hand cooking zones and operates them as one area, making the hob better suited to long pans, larger cookware and plancha-style cooking than a basic four-zone layout.
Direct Touch controls provide direct selection across heat levels 1 to 14, avoiding repeated presses on plus and minus controls. Pause, countdown, count-up and minute-minder functions add useful timing flexibility, while Hob2Hood can adjust a compatible cooker hood automatically.
Surface, safety and efficiency
The SaphirMatt finish is designed to be more resistant to visible scratching than untreated ceramic glass and is less prone to showing fingerprints than a conventional glossy black surface. It should still be treated carefully, as the manual advises against dragging cookware across the glass.
Safety features include a child safety device, control-panel lock, residual-heat indication, automatic switch-off and cookware detection. EcoTimer can switch a zone off before the end of a countdown to make use of residual heat, and the manual records a measured hob energy consumption of 181.2Wh/kg.
Overall assessment
This is a capable 60cm induction hob focused on fast heating, straightforward manual control and better flexibility for large cookware. Its strongest features are the left-side Bridge arrangement, high boost outputs and durable-looking matt finish.
The main compromises are the hardwired installation, the absence of assisted cooking sensors and the fact that only the two left zones can be bridged. For cooks who do not need automatic boil or frying guidance, those limitations are balanced by a well-rounded feature set and useful zone sizes.
