Where to buy the Elica NT-FIT-XL hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Elica NT-FIT-XL NikolaTesla Fit XL is a large integrated induction hob with four cooking zones, two bridge zones and a built-in extractor. Its 83cm black-glass surface provides room for larger cookware, while slider touch controls manage both the cooking zones and ventilation.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Combines a four-zone induction hob and extractor in one appliance
- ✓ Larger or elongated cookware
- ✓ Autocapture automatically adjusts extraction to cooking activity
- ✓ Offers duct-out and filtering installation options
- ✓ Removable long-life filters and a liquid-drain valve simplify maintenance
- ✓ A-rated extractor system with up to 620m³/h duct-out boost airflow
Worth considering
- At 83cm wide with a 75 x 49cm cut-out, it needs more worktop space than a 60cm hob
- The 7.4kW total load and 3.1kW or 4.5kW power-limitation settings make the electrical installation more demanding than lower-powered hobs
- Extraction reaches 61dB(A) in duct-out mode and 68dB(A) in filtering mode at maximum settings, so it is clearly audible when operating at full power
- Filtering installation uses compatible accessory kits, adding extra planning compared with a basic ducted hob

Integrated induction cooking
The Elica NT-FIT-XL hob combines four induction cooking zones with an integrated extractor, keeping the cooking surface and ventilation in one appliance. Its 83cm width provides a generous layout, while the slider touch controls give separate control over cooking and extraction.
Each cooking zone measures 21 x 19.1cm. The two rear zones offer up to 3kW each, while the front zones provide up to 1.85kW each. Two bridge zones can join pairs of cooking areas for elongated or larger cookware.
Extraction performance
The integrated extractor can be installed for duct-out or filtering operation. In duct-out mode, airflow ranges from 220 to 500m³/h, with a 620m³/h boost setting. Filtering mode provides 135 to 420m³/h, rising to 520m³/h at the highest setting.
Autocapture automatically adjusts extraction according to cooking activity, reducing the need for constant manual adjustment. Noise ranges from 43 to 61dB(A) in duct-out mode and from 44 to 68dB(A) in filtering mode, so the maximum settings are clearly audible even though the lower settings are comparatively restrained.
Installation and maintenance
The appliance requires a 75 x 49cm worktop cut-out and has a total connected load of 7.4kW. Power limitation can be set to 3.1kW or 4.5kW, which helps with installation planning but means the electrical requirements should be checked carefully before purchase.
The black-glass surface gives the appliance a clean appearance when the extractor is closed. Elica also provides removable long-life filters and a valve for draining accidental liquid spills, both useful features for routine cleaning and maintenance.
Who should choose it
This Elica NT-FIT-XL hob is a good choice when the priority is combining flexible induction cooking with integrated ventilation rather than installing two separate appliances. The two bridge zones, automatic extraction and choice of duct-out or filtering installation make it versatile for a substantial kitchen project.
It is less suitable for compact kitchens, simple replacement installations or buyers seeking a conventional 60cm hob with lower electrical demands. The physical size, high connected load and need to plan the extraction route make this a more involved installation than a standard induction hob.
