The Bora Basic is a ceramic hob and the Pure is Induction.

Induction hobs are faster to heat up and cool down meaning it’s easier to control your cooking. However some people with pacemakers avoid induction hobs and prefer ceramic hobs. Ceramic hobs are normally cheaper.

Latest advice appreciated on the best big induction downdraught hobs please (Berbel, Bora, Gaggenau, Siemens, Bosch or others). We want best steam and fat clearance rates, quietest motors, easy-clean (unsure re self-clean, ducted or recirulated air). Berbel's FaceBook page features lots of customer complaints regarding after-sales service and spare parts, but some seem due to Covid delays which we think is unavoidable; another mentions guests sitting "in a haze" from the recirculated air and obviously nobody wants that! We need to order very soon but definitely don't want ceiling extraction. Many thanks for prompt replies!

Currently working on a project with a Bora, being installed in about 3 weeks, this one is about £6000, this isn't the most expensive one. Also need to factor in associated indirect work so the underfloor ducting can fit in and creating a hole in the wall for the duct to terminate, this might cost another £500 or so. Happy hob hunting!

Hi Pam, we went for the Berbel Downline Performance Permalyt on the extremely strong recommendation of our kitchen company owner who is a friend of a friend and been in the kitchen business for decades. They offer a highly bespoke and friendly kitchen design and advisory service. They were fantastic to deal with and use the same Berbel in their own homes and demo'd it for us in their workshop. We were concerned about whether to externally vent or not and they talked us out of doing so as simply not necessary. That's a big call for an expensive extension and kitchen but we went with their advice. The Permalyt vent mechanism does take up room directly under the hob, so make sure your design accommodates for it, if you go for it. Their kitchen fitter told us that you can cook a fish on the hob and then smell the recirculated air coming out of the bottom vent and you cannot smell anything. If that really is the case then it is truly remarkable. We will find out in a few months time. They told us about how it filters out oil and cleans using the Permalyt technology; how easy it is to clean and maintain etc. Can't help you with Bora other than to say they never got a look-in as a result of the steer we were given. The Berbel Permalyt does need to be fitted by an expert though, apparently. Also, order early is what we were told and don't forget that European factories shut down in August! Best of luck with your decision and hope this helps!

Help - venting induction hobs

A recent kitchen I supplied, the customer purchased an Elica (Nikola Tesla about 1400.00) and the kitchen fitter was so impressed with it he bought one for his own new kitchen. Always best to duct out and the bigger the pipework (ie 6 inch) the better and the least amount of bends means the less resistance, the more efficient it works and the least noise. So a 2.5m run shouldn't be a problem if done properly. If you fit only 4 inch pipework then its not going to work as well and be noisy. Extraction is governed by building regs Part F which covers new builds, extensions and conversions, for an existing kitchen re fit you can't make the extraction worse than the original kitchen. The difference between combi/bridge and flex for hobs is that 2 zones can be combined, for bridging its just both zones on but with flex induction it has more heating zones and the hob senses the shape/size of the pans and just works in those zones. Venting hobs are like icebergs, very little on show but you can lose 2 drawers underneath to fit it all approx 200mm+ needed (including worktop thickness), then you have the ducting to fit down the back even for recirculating to vent at floor level. All ducted hobs only have 1 filter which is the grease filter and this is suitable for a dishwasher (haven't come across a disposable grease filter for years and then they were a paper filter for integrated extractors), for recirculating you need a carbon filter to clean the air, some of these can be 'recharged' by putting in an oven, others need replacing with a new filter, the manufacturers operating instructions will advise.
