Where to buy the Bertazzoni P804ICH2M30NC hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Bertazzoni P804ICH2M30NC induction hob combines four boosted induction zones with a centrally integrated downdraft extractor, giving kitchens a single built-in appliance for cooking and ventilation. Multizone linking helps accommodate larger pans, while automatic extraction control, a timer and a comprehensive safety specification make the feature set strong.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Four induction zones with nine power levels and a booster on each zone
- ✓ Multizone function links two zones for larger or longer pans
- ✓ Automatic hood control adjusts extraction to the induction power being used
- ✓ Regenerable carbon filters and a filter-saturation alarm support ongoing maintenance
- ✓ Selectable 3.1kW, 4.5kW and 7.4kW power limits provide installation flexibility
Worth considering
- Filtering installation requires a separate accessory kit, creating an additional fitting and purchasing step
- Four cooking zones is a modest zone count for an 80cm hob; some wider conventional hobs provide five zones
- A single slider controls all zones, which is less immediate than separate controls for each cooking area

The exact-model specification lists five hood speed selections; a generic Bertazzoni highlight on the same product page mentions ten ventilation levels. This review follows the exact-model specification.
Cooking performance and flexibility
The Bertazzoni P804ICH2M30NC induction hob provides four cooking zones, each with nine power levels and a booster setting. The two rear zones are rated at 2,100W with 3,000W boost, while the two front zones provide 1,600W with 1,850W boost, giving useful extra speed when bringing pans to the boil.
Its Multizone function links two cooking areas into a larger cooking zone, making the hob more accommodating for long or oversized pans. This is a stronger layout for flexible pan placement than a basic four-zone induction surface, although it does not increase the total number of zones.
Integrated extraction
The integrated hood gives the Bertazzoni P804ICH2M30NC hob its main point of difference. It supports external extraction or filtering, offers five speed selections and can automatically adjust fan speed according to the induction power being used. Bertazzoni lists maximum air extraction of 625m³/h and a hood energy class of A.
Recirculation installation requires a separate accessory kit. The carbon filters are designed to be regenerated in an oven, which can reduce the need for frequent replacement, while the filter-saturation alarm provides a useful maintenance reminder.
Controls and safety
A single touch slider controls the cooking zones, supported by a timer and LED interface. The layout keeps the surface visually clean, but it is less direct than a hob with separate sliders for every zone because users need to select the required zone before adjusting it.
The published safety specification includes a child lock, residual-heat indicators, automatic switch-off, pan detection and overflow security. These features make the hob easier to manage in a busy kitchen and add useful protection during everyday cooking.
Installation and ownership
The 80cm appliance measures 830mm wide, 515mm deep and 210mm high, so the cabinet and worktop must be planned around both the induction surface and the integrated extraction mechanism. Its selectable power limitation of 3.1kW, 4.5kW or 7.4kW offers some installation flexibility, although the full setting represents a substantial electrical load.
The overall proposition is a premium two-in-one cooking and ventilation solution rather than a straightforward replacement for a standard hob. It is most convincing where the integrated design solves a genuine kitchen-layout problem and the required extraction accessories and electrical installation are acceptable.
