Rank #7 in Best Induction Hob 2026: Nine Ranked, and Why 2,800W Keeps Appearing
NOXTON 60cm Plug in Induction Hob with Flex Zone
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
At #7 in this guide, the NOXTON 60 cm plug-in induction hob is one of the four 13 A models here. It costs £155.99, and its own listing states the limit up front: the 13 A hob is limited to a total power of 2800 W. Four rings, one 13 A plug, 2,800 W to share between them. Noxton publishes no wattage for any individual zone, so unlike the Hobsir entry there is no second power figure in the listing to check the total against — 2,800 W is the only power number you get.
Two other numbers in this ficha do not sit together. The title and the bullets describe a built-in hob, while the specifications field reads InstallationType: Freestanding. The item dimensions are given as 65D x 11.5W x 59H centimetres, and 11.5 cm is not the width of a 60 cm hob. The rating shown is 4.3 from 250 reviews, but the listing's own star breakdown adds up to 100 ratings (74 of them five-star), not 250. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing as it appears, not from a hob we have wired in and tested.
How those 250 ratings break down

Questions people ask
Does the NOXTON induction hob need to be hardwired?
No. Noxton says the 13 A plug-in hob does not require a labourer to wire it — you plug it into an outlet and it is ready to use.
How much power does the 13 A plug version deliver?
The listing states the 13 A model is limited to a total power of 2800 W across the four zones. Noxton does not list a wattage for any single ring.
How many cooking zones does it have?
Four, on a 60 cm black glass surface with sliding touch controls.
What is the flex zone for?
Noxton says the flex zone expands the heating area to 39 x 21 cm, which suits an iron barbecue tray.
What cookware works on it?
Pans of 12-18 cm in diameter with a magnetic base — cast iron, iron, enamelled iron or stainless steel. Noxton suggests using a magnet to test.
What safety features are included?
A safe lock, a 99-minute timer, a pause button, a high temperature residual heat reminder and automatic shut-off.
