Cooking performance and flexibility
The Siemens EX800NX68E hob is designed around flexible induction cooking rather than fixed, narrowly defined pan positions. Its two flexInduction zones can adapt to larger cookware, while the supplied information says the flexible area can accommodate griddle and teppanyaki plates up to 40cm long.
PowerBoost is intended to accelerate heating, and powerMove Plus creates three temperature areas for moving cookware between higher heat, cooking and keeping-warm positions. flexMotion can transfer heat settings when a pan is moved, reducing manual readjustment.
Integrated extraction and cleaning
Integrated ventilation makes this a particularly distinctive hob for open-plan kitchens. The stated extraction performance reaches up to 500 m³/h, with 17 speed settings and two intensive modes, while automatic response to steam and odours is intended to make extraction less dependent on manual control.
The inductionAir system includes triple overflow protection, and the grease filters are described as dishwasher-safe. These features should make spill management and routine cleaning more straightforward, although installation requirements will need careful consideration for the intended kitchen layout.
Controls, safety and connected features
Blue dual lightSlider touch controls provide separate control areas for the cooking zones, with the interface described as becoming invisible when switched off. fryingSensor Plus is designed to maintain a selected frying temperature, helping reduce the risk of scorching when using supported zones.
Home Connect adds app-based smart-kitchen functionality, while the timer can switch a zone off automatically and the child safety lock helps prevent unintended operation. The energy consumption display may also help users monitor cooking energy use.
Design and ownership considerations
The 80cm flush-fitting format and diamondProtect glass ceramic surface give the appliance a premium, integrated appearance. The scratch-resistant surface is described as being better able to withstand everyday contact with salt, sugar and abrasive sponges.
The retailer’s supplied information identifies this item as ex-display while stating that it comes with original packaging and a full manufacturer warranty. Buyers should therefore confirm the item’s condition and installation requirements before purchase, particularly because a vented induction hob is more specialised than a standard hob.
Research note: this BestBuysUK assessment is based on the manufacturer's published specifications and other reputable technical sources. Specifications and retailer availability can change, so verify critical details before purchase.
