Ikea Smaklig

I've had this hob 2 months and its broken down twice with no warning. If you actually need a functional hob to say, cook for your children, this is not the hob for you.

After passing warranty of 5 years, it started beeps and turns off with flashing number. I called Ikea to assist me for the replacement product and my bad luck the kind lady suggested me to contact Electrolux to try for repairs, it may cost less. Unfortunately contacted and the guy come for less than 2 minutes he pressed button and says its computer board dead and will cost $650 plus $ 155 calling out fee. I had to pay calling out fee $155 just for 2 minutes service. It was good they just discussed the problem over the phone instead coming out...

The stove stop just keeps beeping and then switches off. Warranty is 5yrs but expired 5 days ago just before the US Elections!!! That’s $699 purchased in 2015 and lasted exactly 5 years. That is so crap.

Replaced an Aldi induction cooktop with the Smaklig from Ikea. It works well but takes longer to heat than the aldi and requires a higher heat setting. It is quieter than the Aldi. When lifting a pot it cuts out almost immediately which is a little annoying when you are cooking and need to tilt the pot. Overall it works well apart from getting use to the extra heat up time and the higher settings required. I have had it for two months at time of review. Updating the review after 8 months of use, I find settings 1 to 3 are virtually useless with...

Love the intuitive control panel and the sleek easy to clean borderless glass. Much better than those with a metal edge wher all the crud from spills gets under. We've had no problems over the two and a half years of use. It does make a noise but that's drowned out by the rangehood exhaust fan....;p

It was a bargain at 499 with a five year warranty that will be honoured if you install it as required.

Love the design and functions, especially being able to select effect with single taps and that all annoying beeps can be turned off (except the on/off sound unfortunately).

However when turning it on, even before starting any cooking, cooling fans start up at what sounds like full speed. The fans then either stay on or turn off but when on they really take over the entire kitchen (and living room since we have an open floor plan). Fans are heard right through the normal induction cooking hum.

Very disappointed and will contact IKEA for a possible resolve.

Two elements on our Smaklig cooktop suddenly stopped working. Called Ikea on a sunday afternoon. Received confirmation from Electrolux on monday morning that a service request had been made. Serviceman came out on wednesday checked the cooktop ordered new elements and was back on friday to fit them. Really great service from start to finish Ikea/Electrolux kept us in the picture all the way. Servicemen were nice guys and turned up on time. Should also say the Smaklig induction cooktop is very good. Does everything right with a great five year warranty for a very competitive price.

Purchased in last year after my old Smeg ceramic cooktop died, it's working very efficient and quiet compare to ceramic cooktop and the price is very good with a 5 years warranty as other brand could be double the price. Only one thing, the cookware, some pots made by stainless steel are working fine on other induction cooktop but couldn't be recognized by this one.

I have been using this cooktop for about a year now, and I love it. I was used to cooking with gas, and when we moved house we had a ceramic cooktop which was just OK, so when it died, I decided to upgrade to induction. After LOTS of research, I realised the Ikea induction cooktops are a fraction of the price of other brands, and they have a longer warranty.

I can't overstate how much I love using this appliance. I would never willingly go back to gas cooking. Here are some of the advantages.

My Smaklig induction hob died after a few short months after installation. The Electrolux technician deemed that the hob was not installed properly and thus overheated the circuits. The 5 year Warranty voided! The professional kitchen installer has since shown me that the install was, in fact, superior to the specs as shown in the IKEA manual. far superior venting and air flow than required by the installation manual. IKEA (&Electrolux) now insist that that having a 20mm bench top instead of 40mm is at fault. HOW???? Having less thermal mass s...

This thing is simply brilliant. It's European made and has a 5 year warranty. Boils water in literally seconds. Almost instant heat control. Was only $599 with member discount. Have had no issues with it since I bought it some 5 months or so ago. I can have my coffee pot boiled in one minute. My wife is Chinese and uses a wok everyday. She thinks its great too. Much better then the old ceramic thing that we had before that and it is, I am sure as good as other models costing twice as much (or more!)
