Karinear Flex 4 Zone Induction Hob with 13A Plug

The Karinear Flex is a four-zone built-in induction hob that runs from a 13A plug, and it sits at number nine in this guide. At £159.99 it is the priciest of the 13A-plug hobs covered here, and the listing is plain about what the plug costs you: "The 13AMP induction hob is limited to a total power of 2800W." The same bullet gives a 1.25 m cable, and the specification table agrees — 2,800 W across four heating elements. That is the same ceiling the cheaper 13A models in this guide declare, so the extra money is not buying more power.

The listing is less clear about size. The product title says 30cm; the size attribute says 60cm O, the listed dimensions are 59D x 6.1W x 52H centimetres, and one buyer says his old hob was 55 and this one is 60 — worth checking against your worktop cut-out before ordering. The installation type field also reads Freestanding, in a listing that otherwise calls the Karinear Flex a built-in hob. The rating is split rather than unanimous: 4.1 out of 5 from 41 ratings, with the bars — which add to 100, so they read as percentages — showing 69% five-star, 8% four-star, 8% three-star and 15% one-star. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this model, not from any test we carried out.
