Rank #5 in Best Induction Hob 2026: Nine Ranked, and Why 2,800W Keeps Appearing
Hobsir Built-in Plug in Induction Hob, 4 Burners
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Hobsir is a 60cm built-in induction hob with four zones, a black glass surface and touch controls, listed at £139.99 with a 4.4 rating from 293 reviews. It takes fifth place in this guide, and it is one of the models here that is designed to run from a standard 13 Amp socket instead of a dedicated circuit.
The number worth reading twice is the one in the product title: 2,800W. The same listing then breaks the four burners down as 1800W, 1400W, 1800W and 1400W, which adds up to 6,400W. Both figures sit on the same Amazon page and they cannot both describe the total output — 2,800W is roughly what a 13 Amp socket at 240 volts can deliver. The review breakdown has a similar gap: it is listed as 4 / 4 / 7 / 14 / 71, which adds to 100, printed beside a total of 293 ratings. Everything on this page comes from the Hobsir Amazon listing rather than from any testing of our own.
How those 293 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.4 stars.
