Connected load is what the circuit has to carry, not a measure of how well a cooktop cooks. What the specs mean · See all fifteen in the master table
Every cooktop here is one we're happy to install. These are the standouts on each measure, based on the manufacturers' specs, our customers' reviews and what we see on real Melbourne jobs.
Bosch Series 6 PIV931HC1EOur most-reviewed induction cooktop: four reviews, all 5 stars. A 32 cm triple ring for big pans, PerfectFry Plus, Home Connect and an auto rangehood link. Bosch is also the brand our installers rate highest.
Bosch Series 4 PUE611BB5HThe equal-lowest RRP in this guide for four zones that boost to 3.7 kW, made in Spain. At 4.6 kW it has the lowest connected load here, so it suits more existing circuits.
Electrolux EHI9575BFFive zones with two bridge pairs and a 28 cm MaxiZone, so a roasting tray and a stockpot fit at once. SenseFry and a 3-year warranty, for a mid-range RRP.
Siemens iQ300 EH675LDC1EIts 32 cm triple ring boosts to 5.5 kW, the most powerful single zone in this guide. Siemens backs it with a 5-year warranty.
Miele KM7373FLMade in Germany, with Wi-Fi, an auto rangehood link and a flush-mount option for stone benchtops. Reviewed 5 stars by one of our customers.
ASKO Celsius HID965GC5 years from ASKO (Siemens matches it), made in Slovenia, with the Bluetooth Celsius°Cooking probe and Auto Bridge down the middle.
NEFF N 70 T68FHV4L0A 40 cm Flex zone that joins and splits itself to suit the pan, Twist Touch ring controls, and 4 years parts and labour from NEFF.
Westinghouse WHI955BDFive zones with a bridge and a 28 cm MaxiZone, Hob2Hood and BoilProtect, for a budget-friendly RRP. Reviewed 5 stars by one of our customers.
Pitt Capital CAPITAL3BTF-INo glass panel at all. Each zone is set into your benchtop with its own knob, made in the Netherlands. We cut the stone in-house.
Pick a cooktop and tell us how much you cook. You’ll see what you save each year once the gas connection goes, how quickly that covers your installation, and a quick check of whether your switchboard suits the model you picked.
Checking the Bosch Series 6 PIV931HC1E you picked above. Change the model in the carousel and this updates too.
Send us a photo of your switchboard and the cooktop you like, and we’ll come back with a prompt quote. We check your switchboard is compatible, and we’re happy to help you choose.
Pick your kitchen size to see every cooktop that suits it, measured the same way. Width decides how many pans fit at once. Zone size and bridging decide how well the big ones heat.
Four zones covers most weeknight cooking. Every 60 cm model here except the Miele KM7464FL (600 × 500 mm) and the Pitt (one hole per zone) uses the common 560 × 490 mm cut-out.

| Our take | The budget pick, with Hob2Hood and BoilProtect. | Best value, and the lightest load on an older circuit. | Fastest single zone here, with a 5-year warranty. | The smart 60 cm: Wi-Fi, CombiZone, PerfectFry Plus. | Premium 62 cm. Its 600 mm cut-out often needs the bench widened. | Design-led, set into the stone with knobs. |
An 80 cm cooktop gives four or five zones room to breathe, so a big pot and a frypan sit side by side without handles clashing. All four use a 750 mm wide cut-out, so going up from 60 cm always means a bench cut.

This is the detail that changes an installation the most, and it rarely makes the brochure. Every cooktop here is hardwired, not plugged in, and runs on standard single-phase power. What changes is whether the circuit to the kitchen is already there.
Replacing an electric cooktop is usually the quickest job. Very often the existing circuit is suitable, and we check it before anything goes in.
Our plumber caps the gas off first. Our electrician then runs a new dedicated circuit from the switchboard, sized to the cooktop and usually 32 A.
Home induction cooktops run on a single-phase 32 A circuit, including the 10.4 kW and 11.1 kW models here, which share or limit their power to suit. Three-phase only comes into it in a few cases.
It’s the question we’re asked most. You don’t need to organise a separate plumber, electrician or stonemason: our plumber disconnects and caps the gas, our electrician runs the new circuit from your switchboard, and our team cuts the bench if the new cooktop needs it.
Watch: 7 things to know before converting from gas to induction (4 min)
We check the cable, breaker and safety switch, then fit the new cooktop into the existing cut-out or enlarge it on the day.
Watch: what our team checks on an electric to electric changeover (1.5 min)
The glass sits on top of the bench and hides the hole underneath, so the size of your old cooktop says little about the size of its cut-out. Around 40 to 50% of the cooktops we install need the bench cut, and that's a good thing: it means you can choose the cooktop you want rather than the one that happens to fit the old hole.

Send us the numbers and a photo, and we’ll tell you whether your new cooktop drops straight in, needs the bench cut or needs a filler panel. Unsure? Going slightly bigger is the safer choice: we can always enlarge a hole.
Check my cut-outMost brands here can switch the rangehood on and set its speed for you while you cook, but only with a matching hood from the same brand.
Cooktop warranties run from 2 to 5 years, and the headline number isn't the whole story. Some brands state parts and labour in writing, some have conditions on how the cooktop is connected, and a few run time-limited extended offers. Here's every model broken down the same way.

Bosch is our most popular induction brand and the one our installers rate highest: popular, well reviewed by our customers, and generally backed by a good Bosch service team. All four models here are made in Spain. The Series 4 PUE611BB5H is the low-load option at 4.6 kW, which suits more existing circuits. The Series 6 models add DirectSelect controls, PerfectFry Plus (a frying sensor with 11 temperature settings), Home Connect Wi-Fi and cook2hood, which switches on a matching Bosch rangehood for you.

PITT Cooking takes the glass panel away entirely. Each induction zone is set into its own hole in your benchtop and has its own push-and-turn knob, so the bench itself becomes the cooktop. The Capital-I has three zones that boost up to 3.0 kW, a 6.68 kW load, and is made in the Netherlands with a 2-year warranty. It suits stone, porcelain, quartz and similar non-conductive worktops.

Whichever cooktop suits your kitchen, the process with our team looks the same, with plumbing, electrical and stone cutting handled in-house.
Send photos of your current cooktop, the cupboard underneath and your switchboard. We confirm your switchboard is suitable, along with the circuit, the cut-out and the rangehood height, then quote.
We cap the gas if there is any, run or check the circuit, cut the benchtop if the new cooktop needs it, and fit the cooktop and isolation switch.
We test every zone, set any power limit to suit your circuit, pair the rangehood link or app if you have one, and walk you through the controls.
Tell us what you cook on now and send a few photos. We'll recommend the right cooktop for your cut-out and circuit, and quote the whole job, from capping the gas to cutting the bench.
