I have been using elica hob for last two years and the experience has been horrible. There are many dangerous experiences that comes in built and to which the technicians have no solution. They ask to live with it when it is actually very risky with gas leakage and fire bursting out of hob from front side where the cook is standing. Might turn out to be a nightmare. Need to get rid of it but since it is fixed have to bear with it. Servicing further makes it worse and there is a lot of delay in addressing complaints when these cases should actually be taken as an emergency. Never to go for it. Cleaning by self is next to impossible, better to go for a cooktop.
