Where to buy the Bertazzoni P604I2M28NV hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Bertazzoni P604I2M28NV induction hob combines four cooking zones with two multizone areas, allowing pairs of zones to work together for long pans and griddles. It also provides booster and double-booster settings, dedicated 45°C melting, 70°C keep-warm and 85°C boiling functions, plus a 99-minute timer. Safety equipment is comprehensive, including pan detection, child lock, residual-heat indication, automatic switch-off and overflow protection. The main compromises are its 7.4kW maximum load, lower standard power on the rear zones and touch-only operation.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Long pans, griddles and other oversized cookware
- ✓ Double-booster settings are available on all four induction zones
- ✓ Dedicated melting, keep-warm and boiling programmes add useful low-temperature control
- ✓ Comprehensive safety specification with pan detection, child lock, residual-heat indication and automatic switch-off
- ✓ Installation flexibility
Worth considering
- The 7.4kW maximum load may require a suitable dedicated electrical installation, even though the power limit can be configured lower
- Less basic heating power before boost is engaged
- Less tactile feedback than a hob with physical knobs
- Only two pairs of zones can be linked; this is not a full-surface induction hob, so very large cookware cannot be positioned freely across the entire surface

Design and installation
The Bertazzoni P604I2M28NV induction hob is a built-in 60cm model with a black bevelled ceramic-glass surface. Its stated overall dimensions are 590 x 520 x 60mm, with a 560 x 490mm worktop cut-out.
The 7.4kW nominal load is substantial for a four-zone hob, but the appliance supports selectable power limits from 1.5kW to 7.4kW. This gives an installer some flexibility where the available electrical supply is more restricted.
Cooking performance and flexibility
There are four induction zones, with the two front zones rated at 2,000W and the two rear zones at 1,500W before boost settings are applied. Each zone has booster and double-booster stages, reaching up to 2,800W on the front zones and 2,000W on the rear zones.
Two multizone areas combine pairs of inductors into larger flexible cooking areas. That is useful for long pans and griddles, while pan detection can recognise cookware placement within the flexible area.
Controls and cooking functions
The hob uses touch-slider controls rather than rotary knobs. It provides nine standard power levels, plus booster and double-booster settings, allowing quick transitions from gentle cooking to high heat.
Three dedicated functions are available for lower-temperature control: melting at 45°C, keeping food warm at 70°C and boiling at 85°C. The timer can be used as a minute minder or to switch an individual zone off, with settings up to 99 minutes.
Safety and everyday use
Everyday safety features include a child lock, residual-heat indicators, automatic switch-off, pan detection, overflow protection and over-temperature protection. The pause function can temporarily stop the active cooking settings and restore them afterwards.
As with other induction hobs, cookware must have a suitable magnetic base. The manual also states that pans smaller than 140mm may not be detected reliably, so pan choice and positioning matter.
Value and ownership
The Bertazzoni P604I2M28NV hob offers a strong feature set for a conventional 60cm induction layout, particularly because it combines two multizone areas with double boost and dedicated low-temperature programmes.
Its main compromises are the high maximum electrical load, touch-only operation and the fact that only two pairs of zones can be linked. Buyers wanting full-surface induction or physical controls will find more suitable alternatives elsewhere.
