| 628016 | 2008-01-07 03:00:00 | FIRST QUESTION Hi, I’d like to do a little consumer survey with your help. I wont tell you too many details yet as I want an unbiased honest opinion. The question is if you had bought a ceramic hob of a reputable brand how long would you expect it to last without any thing going wrong and in particular the rotary switches? I appreciate your help | Robinz (9362) | ||
| 628017 | 2008-01-07 03:44:00 | Depends on how much I paid for it and how I used it. Say 5 years as the MINIMUM. | beeswax34 (63) | ||

I appreciate your help I assume you mean mean the cheaper ceramic hobs, and not induction hobs, whick look similar. The life of the kitchen, say 10-15 up to 20 years. There isn't much to go wrong with them. |

| 628021 | 2008-01-07 04:29:00 | We've had issues with the knobs on ours after about 7 years, though I'm not 100% sure. One of them became very dodgy, and another one snapped off. This is a reputable brand, middle of the range ceramic cooktop. | somebody (208) | ||
| 628022 | 2008-01-07 04:53:00 | Eight years so far looks as good as the day installed, no knobs though, you just wave your thumb over one corner and things happen | tutaenui (1724) | ||

Misty :cool: We have a gas hob which is around about 20 years old, and still working as good as new. In my next house I am looking at induction hobs. I would however expect any stove or oven to last a minimum of 20 years, as there isn't really much to go wrong with them. |

| 628025 | 2008-01-07 06:07:00 | 30 years and still going strong. Replaced all the neon indicators once, replaced the "hot" lamp about 4 times (but sometimes didn't bother to replace for months - you soon know if it's hot when you put your hand on it.) :waughh: Rotary switches? They just turn around to make it hotter or not. No problems. |
