Where to buy the Elica hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Elica NIKOLATESLA ONE HP EVO BL/A/83 vented induction hob combines four powerful induction zones with integrated extraction in a wide black-glass design. Its two bridge zones, automatic pan detection, low-temperature cooking modes and Autocapture extraction make it versatile for everyday cooking and larger cookware. Ducted airflow reaches 620m³/h on boost, while the extraction system is rated A++. The main compromises are its large 83cm installation footprint, high 7.4kW electrical load, four-zone layout and noticeable maximum extraction noise in filtering mode.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Combines induction cooking and extraction in one appliance
- ✓ Flexibility for large pans, griddles and roasting trays
- ✓ Ducted extraction reaches 620m³/h on boost
- ✓ A++ extraction energy class supports efficient operation
- ✓ Melting, warming, simmering and fast-boiling modes broaden its cooking range
- ✓ Autocapture, pan detection, Stop & Go and maintenance alerts improve everyday usability
Worth considering
- At 83cm wide, with an 80.7 x 49.2cm cut-out, it is a worktop-specific replacement rather than a straightforward 60cm hob swap
- Four cooking zones may be limiting for households that regularly need five pans operating at once
- Extraction noise reaches 67dB(A) in ducted mode and 71dB(A) in filtering mode
- The 7.4kW total electrical absorption means the kitchen needs suitable electrical provision, unlike lower-load conventional hobs

the retailer’s supplied information contains conflicting claims about energy class, maximum noise and filter life. Official Elica information supports A++, mode-specific noise figures of up to 71dB(A), and Evo-filter information stating regeneration for up to three years.
Design and installation
The Elica NIKOLATESLA ONE HP EVO BL/A/83 vented induction hob combines an 83cm black-glass induction surface with an integrated extractor, keeping the wall above the hob clear for a cleaner open-plan kitchen design.
Its external dimensions are 83 x 51.5 x 21cm, with an 80.7 x 49.2cm cut-out. This is a substantial worktop opening, so the installation needs checking carefully before replacing an existing hob.
The extractor can operate in ducted or recirculating mode. Elica lists a minimum 6cm plinth height for its Evo recirculation configurations, while ducted installation requires a suitable air outlet and compatible ducting arrangement.
Cooking performance and flexibility
Four induction zones are provided, each measuring 221 x 184mm and rated at 2.1kW with up to 3.7kW available on boost. Two bridge zones allow adjacent areas to be combined for larger cookware.
The touch-slider controls provide nine power levels plus booster control. Automatic pan detection, timer functions, Stop & Go, child lock and residual-heat indicators add useful day-to-day convenience.
Melting, warming and simmering modes are designed for more controlled low-temperature cooking, while Elica's Fast Boiling function is specified to reach boiling point up to 30% faster than normal operation.
Integrated extraction
Autocapture adjusts extraction according to the active cooking zones, reducing the need to change the extractor setting manually during cooking.
In ducted mode, Elica specifies airflow from 135 to 525m³/h, rising to 620m³/h on boost. Filtering mode is specified at 125 to 495m³/h, with 570m³/h available on intensive operation.
Noise levels are listed at 35–67dB(A) for ducted extraction and 38–71dB(A) in filtering mode. The hob uses an aluminium grease filter and a compatible Evo odour-filter system for recirculating installations.
Efficiency and ownership
The integrated extraction system carries an A++ energy class, and the hob has a 7.4kW total electrical absorption rating. That combination points to strong extraction efficiency, but the high connected load means the kitchen's electrical provision should be checked before installation.
The black-glass surface gives the Elica NIKOLATESLA ONE HP EVO BL/A/83 hob a premium appearance and is relatively straightforward to wipe clean. A maintenance alarm, removable filters and delay switch-off are useful features for regular cooking and ongoing upkeep.
This is a specialist appliance aimed at buyers who want induction cooking and ventilation in one unit. Its strengths are the integrated design, bridge-zone flexibility and powerful extraction, rather than maximum cooking-zone count or simple replacement compatibility.
