IKEA HIN4t induction cooktop experiences

2012-01-03 11:42:58

Hello Ikea friends,

we are considering getting an IKEA HIN4T induction cooktop.

We noticed that the cooktops on display do not correspond to those being sold. This means the cooktops on display are still the old HB14 models with 6KW power and different mounting as well as a Schott Ceran label. The revision number is 3.1, which the salesperson only told us after we found out ourselves.
The HIN4T has different mounts and no longer has a print on the cooktop. Additionally, the mounts have also changed. Furthermore, the cooktop now states 7KW and has a different revision number 1.0.

The cooktop now makes quite loud cracking noises on levels 1-5 on the booster plates. From level 6 on, there is no more cracking. It is always claimed that this is due to the pots.

The recommendation of the kitchen advisor at Ikea Hanau was that we should take the HIN-F-4T. That is supposed to be much quieter and of better quality.

We would be interested to know what experiences you have with the cooktops.

The HIN4T is offered for a stunning 299.- euros

Thank you very much in advance

Best regards

By the way, the HIN-F-4t including pots from the 365 series is allegedly supposed to be offered for 449.- euros at the end of January—

Hello Ikea friends :D

We are thinking about getting an IKEA HIN4T induction cooktop. :D

We noticed :eek: that the cooktops on display do not correspond to the ones being sold. That means the cooktops in the showroom are still the old HB14 models with 6KW power and different mounting as well as a Schott Ceran label. The revision number is 3.1, the salesperson only told us that after we found it out ourselves. The HIN4T has different mountings and no label anymore on the cooktop. Besides, the mountings have also changed. Additionally, the cooktop now has a 7 KW rating and a different revision number 1.0

But that does not really matter as long as you get the new "correct" cooktop. Normally, devices should be swapped when the model changes, Hanau will probably still do that. Eventually... :cool:

The cooktop now makes quite a cracking noise on levels 1-5 on the booster plates. From level 6, there is no more cracking. It is always claimed that this is due to the pots.

Hmm, claimed by whom? There are lots of crazy theories...

The recommendation from the kitchen advisor at Ikea Hanau was that we should take the HIN-F-4T. That one is much quieter and of better quality.

I myself have the HIN4T and am very satisfied with it. I have learned that the cooktops are basically the same, only the appearance and size are different and that you don’t have the predetermined rings. Maybe the salesperson there also has his own experience or feedback from customers and can therefore report such things.

We would be interested to hear what experiences you have with the cooktops.

The HIN4T is being offered at the amazing price of 299.- Euros

Exactly, TOP price! And that with 5 years warranty!

Many thanks in advance

Best regards

This might be a promotion only Hanau is running!

Hello Nayla!

We have had a Framtid HIN4S for about 10 months now -

this is the 4-zone cooktop with a width of 78 cm. If you have ever cooked with induction, there is no way back.

Yes, you sometimes hear a crackling sound, but you also hear the exhaust fan, you hear the meat sizzling and and and ... If that bothers you, cook on an open fire .... ahem, there the wood crackles ;)

But seriously. It works great, everything is much faster, we have retired our electric kettle and got a great whistling kettle from Alessi. Water for tea has never been ready so quickly! Much easier to clean than a conventional cooktop, the areas around the pot simply do not get that hot, so nothing burns - even if the famous milk has boiled over.

Since we have very large pans and pots with a diameter of 34 cm, the large one is just about right, could sometimes be a bit wider. So if you have space and budget, definitely get the biggest cooktop you can.

Have fun cooking. fotokatze

After some research, I would like to ask in the forum if you also had a brochure with care instructions from the company SCHOTT included with your HIN4t induction cooktop bearing the Schott-CERAN label when it was new.

Because according to the company Schott, only where Schott is printed is there Schott glass installed.
After all, it is also a registered trademark.

The currently offered cooktops do not have this label nor any indication of a care brochure.
This could suggest that it is not Schott glass at all.

Best regards :D

Another feedback! :D

As Ikea confirmed to me by email, the cooktops without the label Schott-Ceran are not made of Schott glass.

The supplier has changed, and the cooktops will be replaced these days.
It's nice that as a customer you first have to find this out yourself :eek:

I cannot understand that users here take this so lightly... because the quality I see on display is what I want to purchase. And not inferior quality in the workmanship or sheet metal thickness of the individual parts.

Best regards ;)

Hello Nayla!

We have had a FRAMTID HIN4S for about 10 months now

it is the 4-zone cooktop with 78 cm width. For anyone who has ever cooked with induction, there is no turning back.

Yes, you sometimes hear a crackling sound, but you also hear the extractor, you hear the meat sizzling and so on... If that bothers you, you should cook over an open fire... ahem, the wood crackles there ;)

But seriously. It works great, everything is much faster, we have retired our kettle ...........

So if you have the space and budget, definitely take the largest cooktop possible.

Have fun cooking. fotokatze

Hello,
thanks for the tip,
we are also about to place an order and have one more question:
Does the 78 cm FRAMTID HIN4S also fit under a 60 cm base cabinet? On the left and right of the cooktop there would again be pull-out cabinets with 3 drawers. Unfortunately, an 80 cm base cabinet is not possible.

One more question:
What are the differences between FRAMTID HINF4S, HINF4T & NUTID HIN4T, except for the size? They all have induction. In the kitchen planner and on Ikea.at, the description page shows no difference except the total wattage (but the new HIN4T is also supposed to be 7000W). :confused:
And why are there the FRAMTID and NUTID series and not all called the same?

Regards Pappl
