Where to buy the Bertazzoni P784I1M30NV hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Bertazzoni P784I1M30NV induction hob combines four induction zones with one Multizone area, allowing two zones to work together for large pans or griddles. Its nine power levels, double boosters and central zone rated up to 3,000W provide strong cooking performance, while the 45°C Melting, 70°C Keep Warm and 85°C Boiling programmes add useful low-temperature control.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Four induction zones with one Multizone area for large pans and griddles
- ✓ Double booster settings are available across the cooking areas, including up to 3, 000W on the central zone
- ✓ Dedicated 45°C Melting, 70°C Keep Warm and 85°C Boiling programmes
- ✓ Multi-slider touch controls with timer, pause and recall functions
- ✓ Child lock, pan detection, residual-heat indication, automatic switch-off and overflow security
Worth considering
- At 78cm wide, it needs a larger worktop cut-out than a standard 60cm hob
- The 7.2kW maximum absorbed power may require suitable electrical provision; lower power-limit settings can restrict simultaneous output
- Only one Multizone area is provided, so it is less flexible than models with two or more linked cooking areas
- There are four zones rather than the five or six zones available on some larger-format induction hobs

Cooking performance
The Bertazzoni P784I1M30NV induction hob has four cooking zones, with a single Multizone function that links two adjacent areas into one larger cooking surface. This is useful for large pans and griddles without requiring a separate domino appliance.
Each zone has nine power levels plus a double booster. The zones are rated differently, including a 3,000W double-booster setting on the central zone, giving the hob a strong spread of power for both rapid boiling and everyday simmering.
The dedicated Melting, Keep Warm and Boiling programmes are set to 45°C, 70°C and 85°C respectively. These provide useful fixed-temperature options for delicate ingredients, holding cooked food and bringing water towards boiling point.
Controls and features
The touch-control multi-slider provides a separate control interface for the cooking areas, while the timer, pause and recall functions add practical flexibility during busy cooking.
Safety features include child lock, residual-heat indication, automatic switch-off, pan detection and overflow security. These features make the hob easier to manage in a family kitchen, although they do not replace normal supervision during cooking.
Installation and practicalities
The Bertazzoni P784I1M30NV hob is 78cm wide, with an overall depth of 520mm and an installation cut-out of approximately 750 by 495mm. It is therefore a larger-format built-in hob rather than a direct replacement for a standard 60cm model.
Its maximum absorbed power is 7.2kW, with selectable power-limitation settings of 2.8kW, 4.5kW, 6kW and 7.2kW. The limitation settings can help match the hob to the available electrical supply, but lower settings may restrict how much power can be used across the zones at once.
The bevelled ceramic-glass worktop gives the surface a clean, flush-looking appearance and should be straightforward to wipe after cooking.
Verdict
The Bertazzoni P784I1M30NV induction hob is a well-equipped wide-format model with strong zone power, one genuinely useful linked cooking area and a good set of automatic cooking and safety functions.
Its main compromises are the single Multizone layout, the four-zone capacity and the substantial electrical load. It is best suited to a spacious kitchen where the installation dimensions and electrical requirements have already been checked.
