Where to buy the Elica hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Elica NIKOLATESLA ONE EVO BL/A/83 hob is a premium integrated extractor hob with four induction zones, a left-hand bridge area and nine-level slider controls for both cooking and extraction. It offers strong airflow, automatic extraction, A++ extraction efficiency and both duct-out and filtering installation, but its 83cm format and 7.4kW connected load demand careful kitchen and electrical planning.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Offers a left-hand bridge zone for large or elongated cookware
- ✓ Provides up to 620m³/h duct-out boost airflow and 570m³/h filtering airflow
- ✓ Uses automatic extraction to adjust airflow according to the cooking activity
- ✓ Has A++ extraction energy efficiency and removable multi-purpose filters
- ✓ Supports duct-out or filtering installation, giving useful layout flexibility
Worth considering
- Only one bridge zone is provided, and it is limited to the left-hand pair rather than being available across both sides
- The 7.4kW total absorption and 3.1–4.5kW power-limitation range require careful electrical planning during installation
- Filtering extraction reaches 71dB(A) at maximum, which is more noticeable than the 67dB(A) maximum quoted for duct-out operation
- The 83cm width and 21cm depth require a larger worktop opening and more cabinet planning than a conventional 60cm induction hob

- ✓ Cooks who regularly use oversized pans, griddles or roasting dishes on the left-hand bridge zone.
- ✓ Design-conscious open-plan kitchens where a separate hood would be visually intrusive.
- ✓ Homes able to provide suitable electrical installation for a 7.4kW appliance.

The official specification confirms one left-hand bridge zone and separates extraction noise by installation method: up to 67dB(A) in duct-out mode and up to 71dB(A) in filtering mode.
Integrated cooking and extraction
The Elica NIKOLATESLA ONE EVO BL/A/83 hob combines four induction cooking zones with a built-in extractor, avoiding the need for a separate overhead hood. It supports both duct-out and filtering installation, giving more flexibility when planning the kitchen layout.
Its 83 x 51.5 x 21cm dimensions and 80.7 x 49.2cm cut-out make it a substantial built-in appliance, so worktop space, cabinet clearance and the extraction route need to be checked carefully before installation.
Induction cooking layout
The cooking surface has four zones, controlled through a nine-level slider with boost. The left-hand pair can be joined into one bridge zone for larger or elongated cookware, while the right side retains a 16cm and 20cm circular zone.
The zone layout is versatile for everyday cooking, although the bridge function is limited to the left side rather than being available across both sides of the hob.
Extraction performance and sound
The integrated extractor reaches 620m³/h in duct-out boost mode and 570m³/h in filtering mode. Automatic extraction adjusts the extraction power according to the cooking activity, which can reduce the need for constant manual changes.
Noise figures vary by installation method. Duct-out operation is rated at 35–67dB(A), while filtering operation is rated at 38–71dB(A), so recirculating use can be more noticeable at maximum power.
Controls, maintenance and efficiency
Separate slider touch controls provide nine extraction speeds plus boost and nine cooking levels plus boost. Warming Mode is designed for gentle heat, while the bridge function maintains a consistent power level across the joined cooking area.
The extractor has removable multi-purpose odour, grease and moisture filters, with Elica stating that these can last up to three years. The A++ extraction energy class and Autocapture function are useful advantages for buyers focused on running efficiency.
Overall assessment
The Elica NIKOLATESLA ONE EVO BL/A/83 hob is a sophisticated, design-led option for buyers who want integrated extraction without giving up a full four-zone induction layout. Its strong airflow, automatic extraction and flexible installation options make it more capable than a basic vented hob.
It is less suitable for smaller kitchens, lower-capacity electrical installations or cooks who need two bridge areas at the same time. The 83cm format and high connected load also make professional installation and advance planning particularly important.
