Where to buy the Miele hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Miele KM 8895-2 FL Diamond&MSense induction hob is a premium full-surface model designed for cooks who want maximum freedom over pan placement. Its 870 x 380mm cooking area can accommodate up to six cookware items, with intelligent recognition and six MultiSlide controls helping to manage them.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Full-surface 870 x 380mm cooking area with freely selectable pan positions
- ✓ Supports up to six cookware items at once
- ✓ Six MultiSlide controls with intelligent pan and pan-size recognition
- ✓ Including Booster, Professional mode, Stop & Go, Recall and keeping warm
- ✓ M Sense readiness plus Miele@home and Con@ctivity connectivity
- ✓ DiamondFinish glass ceramic surface and both surface-mounted and flush-fit installation options
Worth considering
- At 936mm wide, it requires a very large worktop and a 916mm-wide standard cut-out, so it is unsuitable for many conventional hob layouts
- The 9.2kW total rated load is substantial and makes electrical planning more demanding than with lower-powered hobs
- The manufacturer lists one full-area cooking zone rather than separate fixed zones, so the layout may feel less conventional to buyers used to numbered rings

Full-surface cooking flexibility
The Miele KM 8895-2 FL Diamond&MSense induction hob uses one full-area cooking surface measuring 870 x 380mm, allowing cookware to be positioned freely rather than restricting pans to fixed rings. Miele specifies capacity for up to six items of cookware at once.
Intelligent pan and pan-size recognition detect cookware placement, while the control elements follow the pans. This should make the wide cooking area more usable when several pans are arranged in different positions.
Controls and cooking functions
Six MultiSlide sensor sliders provide individual control of cookware, with a white display intended to keep settings visible. The Booster function raises the maximum individual cooking-area rating from 2,600W to 3,650W for faster heat-up.
The Miele KM 8895-2 FL Diamond&MSense induction hob also includes Professional mode, Stop & Go, Recall, automatic heat-up, a minute minder, keeping warm, wipe protection and assistance programmes. These features give it a broad set of cooking aids beyond basic power adjustment.
Smart cooking and design
M Sense readiness enables compatibility with M Sense cookware, while Miele@home, Con@ctivity, NFC pairing, push notifications, RemoteUpdate and smart-home integration are listed in the manufacturer's product data.
The graphite-black glass ceramic surface has Miele's DiamondFinish coating, and the Light Line provides a distinctive illuminated design detail. The hob supports both surface-mounted and flush-fit installation for different worktop finishes.
Installation and everyday practicality
At 936mm wide and 520mm deep, this is a substantial built-in appliance. The standard surface-mounted cut-out is 916 x 500mm, while flush-fit installation uses a larger external cut-out of 940 x 524mm. Its 26kg weight also means that fitting requires careful handling.
The 9.2kW total rated load, 230V supply and 1.5m cable should be considered during kitchen planning. The hob is not a straightforward replacement for a typical 60cm model, but its large footprint provides considerably more usable cooking space.
Safety and cleaning
The Miele KM 8895-2 FL Diamond&MSense induction hob has a lock function, system lock, residual-heat indicator, safety switch-off, overheating protection and an integrated cooling fan. Automatic shut-off and intelligent pan recognition add further safeguards during everyday use.
The easy-to-clean ceramic glass and wipe-protection function are practical touches for a full-surface hob, while the DiamondFinish coating is specified as scratch-resistant and designed to reduce scratching.
