Beautifully engineered and made as usual. Contrary to some earlier reviews I had read about the WiFi hookup of some Miele kitchen products this one was guided and flawless to achieve. The rectangular heating zone is much more convenient and useable than the dedicated zones of the previous Miele hob we had. And despite the appearance of more hi-tech controls, because they self reveal and hide, it is much easier and less cluttered to use. A stunning appliance.
