Where to buy the Miele KM 8595-2 FL hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Miele KM 8595-2 FL induction hob is a premium extra-wide model built around six cooking zones and three PowerFlex bridge areas. Its 936mm format provides generous space for multi-pan cooking, while the 230 x 390mm bridges are useful for griddles and other elongated cookware. Six MultiSlide controls, pan recognition and strong Booster settings give it an unusually complete cooking specification.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Six cooking zones with space for up to six pans
- ✓ Three 230 x 390mm PowerFlex bridge areas for large or elongated cookware
- ✓ Up to 7.36kW Booster power on the left and centred bridges
- ✓ Six individual MultiSlide controls with pan and pan-size recognition
- ✓ Miele@home, Con@ctivity, M Sense readiness and smart-home features
- ✓ Surface-mounted and flush-fit installation options
Worth considering
- The 936mm body requires a wide 916mm surface-mounted cut-out, so it is not a like-for-like replacement for narrower hob openings
- The 9.2kW total rated load gives it a higher electrical demand than simpler lower-powered hobs and requires appropriate installation planning
- The right-hand PowerFlex bridge is less powerful, with a 3.4kW maximum rating and 3.65kW Booster, compared with 4.2kW and 7.36kW on the left and centred bridges
- M Sense cooking assistance depends on compatible M Sense cookware rather than working fully with ordinary pans

Flexible six-zone cooking
The Miele KM 8595-2 FL induction hob provides six cooking zones and three PowerFlex bridge areas, with space for up to six pans. The bridge areas measure 230 x 390mm and are designed for larger or elongated cookware, giving it more flexibility than a conventional layout of six separate circular zones.
PowerFlex is particularly useful when cooking with griddles or large roasting pans, although the three areas are not equally powerful. The left and centred bridges reach up to 7.36kW with Booster, while the right-hand bridge is rated lower.
Strong performance and precise control
Induction heating, pan-size recognition and Booster settings give the Miele KM 8595-2 FL induction hob a strong specification for fast, responsive cooking. Six separate MultiSlide controls allow each cooking area to be adjusted independently rather than sharing a single control strip between zones.
The hob has a 9.2kW total rated load and a maximum Booster rating of 7.36kW on the left and centred PowerFlex bridges. This is well suited to demanding multi-pan cooking, but the electrical installation needs to be planned accordingly.
Smart features and cooking assistance
Miele@home, Con@ctivity, NFC pairing, RemoteUpdate and smart-home integration give the Miele KM 8595-2 FL induction hob a comprehensive connected feature set. Practical functions include Stop & Go, a minute minder, recall, automatic heat-up, keeping warm and assistance programmes.
The hob is M Sense ready and can work with compatible M Sense cookware for assisted cooking and frying programmes. That functionality is useful within the Miele KM 8595-2 FL ecosystem, but it depends on compatible cookware rather than being available with every ordinary pan.
Installation and everyday ownership
The black glass-ceramic hob can be installed surface-mounted or flush-fit. Its 936mm width and 916mm surface-mounted cut-out make it a substantial installation, while the flush-fit option has additional internal and external cut-out dimensions that need to be followed accurately.
The ceramic glass surface is designed to be easy to clean, and the hob includes residual-heat indication, overheating protection, a cooling fan, safety switch-off and lock functions. Its wide format is a benefit for cooking space, but it is not a straightforward replacement for a narrower standard hob opening.
