Where to buy the Kaiser KCT 4795 FI ElfAD hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Kaiser KCT 4795 FI ElfAD induction hob is a compact 45cm Art Deco model with three fixed 18cm QuickHeat induction zones. Its ivory glass-ceramic surface, slider touch controls, three boosters, individual timers and residual-heat indicators make it a well-equipped choice where space and style matter more than four-zone capacity.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Compact 45cm format for smaller or space-constrained kitchens
- ✓ Three induction zones with a boost function, including one rated up to 2.6kW
- ✓ More controlled cooking
- ✓ Useful safety features
- ✓ Distinctive ivory glass-ceramic Art Deco styling with a front bevel
Worth considering
- Only three cooking zones, so it cannot match a four-zone hob for simultaneous pan capacity
- All three zones measure 18cm, offering less flexibility for oversized pans than models with a larger zone
- Flexible or free-zone cooking for rectangular griddles and multi-zone cookware
- Induction-compatible cookware is required, so some existing non-induction pans may not be usable

The manufacturer specification identifies three fixed 18cm induction zones. the retailer’s supplied information's free-zone description is not supported for this exact variant.
Design and installation
The Kaiser KCT 4795 FI ElfAD induction hob has a 45cm-wide ivory glass-ceramic surface with a front bevel, giving it a more decorative appearance than the usual black-glass appliance. Its published cut-out measures 42.5cm wide by 49.5cm deep, with a stated installation height of 5.5cm, so the kitchen worktop and cabinet should be checked carefully before fitting.
The compact width is useful in smaller kitchens or alongside another cooking appliance, but it necessarily provides less working space than a conventional 60cm hob.
Cooking performance
Three QuickHeat induction zones provide rapid heating, and all three have a Power booster function. Two zones are rated at 1.5kW with 2.0kW boost, while the higher-powered zone is rated at 2.0kW with 2.6kW boost.
The layout uses three fixed circular zones, each measuring 18cm. That is straightforward for ordinary saucepans and frying pans, but it is less accommodating for oversized cookware or large rectangular griddles than a hob with a large or flexible cooking area.
Controls and everyday use
FullTouch electronic controls with a slider and LED display provide direct control without physical knobs interrupting the glass surface. Each cooking zone has its own timer or minute counter, while a separate minute minder adds useful flexibility when coordinating several pans.
The manufacturer also specifies automatic pre-cooking control, which heats a zone strongly before reducing it to the selected setting. This is useful for bringing food up to temperature quickly without manually managing the initial high heat.
Safety features
Separate residual-heat indicators are provided for all three zones and remain active until the relevant surface has cooled sufficiently. A child lock and automatic Safety Guard shut-off add useful protection during everyday use.
The electronic controls and flat glass-ceramic surface should be relatively easy to wipe clean, although spills still need dealing with promptly once the surface is safe to touch.
Efficiency and ownership considerations
The manufacturer publishes a total connected load of 6.1kW and an overall cooking energy figure of 191.96Wh/kg. As an induction model, it is designed to transfer heat directly to compatible cookware rather than heating a conventional radiant element first.
The main ownership limitation is compatibility: induction pans are required. Buyers moving from gas or standard electric cooking may need to replace some existing cookware, and the three-zone layout will not suit households that regularly use four pans simultaneously.
