They seem to vary from 13A plug-in, to 16A hard-wired to 32A hard-wired,
I've heard lots of people raving about how good induction hobs are, has
anyone got any stories about the lower powered ones being ... um ...
underpowered?


I'd have to check, but I think that some induction hobs can be wired to be able to run at full whack OR at a reduced current.

If wired for a lower current, the individual plates are managed to ensure the total draw is within that limit.
