Miele induction hobs come in a wide range of sizes, from 62 cm hobs that fit a standard worktop to wide panoramic models over 90 cm. All of them use touch controls. They suit anyone who wants quick, easy-to-control heat. If you're planning a larger kitchen, there are bigger hobs here with more room for several pans at once. Most have a frameless edge, and some come in a matt black finish or a diamond finish.

The main choice is how the cooking area is laid out. The simplest hobs have four set zones. Others add flexible zones and bridging zones, which join two areas into one so a long griddle pan or a large casserole heats evenly. One 80 cm model has PowerFlex zones with TwinBooster, which can spread induction power across several zones or put it all on one, useful when you want a big pan of water to boil quickly. Some of the widest hobs replace set zones with one flexible cooking area, so you can place pans where you like.

Controls differ too. Some models have a simple digital display. Others have a SingleSlide central slider or MultiSlide sliders, where you slide a finger along a strip to set the power. Most models can connect to the internet, which allows app-based features. Most hobs have nine power levels, so you can go from a gentle simmer to a fast boil in clear steps.

To narrow the choice, measure your worktop opening first. Then decide how much freedom you want with pans: fixed zones, bridging zones or a fully flexible surface. If you're still comparing hob types, our Miele electric hobs page includes these induction models plus Miele ceramic hobs, and you can see everything else from the brand under all Miele products.
