Whirlpool induction hob scores highly in Which? Magazine testing

The Whirlpool ACM 847/BA induction hob has performed exceptionally well in testing undertaken by consumer champion Which? achieving Best Buy status and receiving high praise from the testing team.

Which? says: “If you’re looking for an excellent induction hob, look no further. It’s hard to find anything bad to say about this Whirlpool.”

The Whirlpool ACM 847/BA induction hob scored 83 per cent and earned ‘five star’ ratings for speed of heating, simmering, ease of cleaning and overall cooking performance.

Which? had particular praise for Whirlpool’s 6th Sense® induction technology and booster option that enables this hob to heat water from 15°C to 90°C in just four minutes, faster than a gas hob and almost twice as fast as a ceramic hob. Through the use of induction it not only creates savings on time but also up to 30 per cent energy savings.

Which? also commended intelligent functions like the easy to use slide controls and residual heat indicators which make this appliance incredibly easy to use. The left front and rear induction zones can also be combined to make one large heating zone; perfect for large pans, roasting tins or fish kettles. It is features like these that contribute to the great versatility of this appliance and make a perfect addition to any kitchen.

Which? said: “This excellent induction hob is pretty much faultless – it does everything you’d expect a quick-heating induction hob to do, it comes with all the safety measures you need and thoroughly deserves Best Buy status.”

Simona Bara, Product Marketing Manager for Whirlpool, says: “Whirlpool is delighted to achieve such a positive review from a respected independent body such as Which? This induction hob, with modern induction technology and flexi zones to allow for a huge variety of cooking techniques, is a versatile addition to any kitchen. 6th Sense® technology makes this hob fast, efficient and easy to use. Through intelligent features, such as slide controls, it has been designed with the customer in mind. It is a pleasure to have this acknowledge by Which?”
