Where to buy the Hotpoint TS3560FCPNE hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Hotpoint TS3560FCPNE induction hob is a capable built-in model with four zones, four booster zones and a 37 x 20cm Flexi Space area for larger cookware. Its four automatic programmes, timer, residual-heat indicators and CleanProtect coating make it especially appealing for cooks who want straightforward controls and easier everyday cleaning. Installation is more demanding than a plug-in appliance because the hob has a 7,200W fixed electrical connection and no supplied plug.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Useful capacity for everyday multi-pan cooking
- ✓ The 37 x 20cm Flexi Space area accommodates larger rectangular cookware
- ✓ Four automatic programmes cover melting, boiling, keeping food warm and slow cooking
- ✓ CleanProtect ceramic-glass coating is designed to make routine cleaning easier
- ✓ A strong everyday feature set
Worth considering
- The 7, 200W, 31.3A connection and lack of a supplied plug mean it requires a suitable fixed electrical installation rather than a simple plug-in setup
- The zone layout is uneven, with one smaller 14.5cm zone and only two linked zones for the 37 x 20cm Flexi Space area
- The documented flexible cooking area covers only 37 x 20cm, rather than providing flexible pan placement across the full hob surface

the retailer’s supplied information contains a barcode discrepancy, but the appliance is verified by its exact Hotpoint model designation and manufacturer documentation.
Cooking flexibility
The Hotpoint TS3560FCPNE induction hob provides four cooking zones, with two 19 x 20cm areas, one 21cm zone and one 14.5cm zone. That gives a useful spread for everyday pans, although the zones are not all the same size.
Its 37 x 20cm Flexi Space area joins the two linked zones for larger cookware. The arrangement is practical for a large rectangular pan or griddle, but it is not a full-surface cooking area across the entire hob.
Controls and cooking programmes
Front-mounted touch controls provide direct adjustment for each cooking area, while the timer helps manage individual cooking tasks. Four booster zones are listed, supporting faster heating when required.
My Menu adds automatic settings for melting, boiling, keeping food warm and slow cooking. These modes are useful for reducing manual temperature adjustment, particularly with delicate sauces and dishes that need gentle heat.
Cleaning and safety
The black ceramic-glass surface has Hotpoint's CleanProtect coating, which is designed to reduce visible marks and make routine cleaning easier. The smooth touch-control surface also avoids raised knobs around which spills can collect.
Separate residual-heat indicators show which areas remain hot after cooking. The hob also has a main on/off switch and four power-on indicators, providing clear status information during use.
Installation and efficiency
This is a built-in 59cm hob requiring a minimum 560mm-wide and 480mm-deep niche. It has a 7,200W electrical connection rating, draws 31.3A and is supplied without a plug, so installation needs an appropriate fixed connection.
The published hob energy consumption is 188Wh/kg. Induction heating, booster operation and the ability to use automatic programmes give it a good efficiency profile for a four-zone electric hob, provided the cookware is induction-compatible.
