I would like to change my gas hob, for something a little bigger, with
a Wok burner.

After searching around, the Neff looks ideal (T2766).. But I also
found a Baumatic one (B68SS) which look equally as good, for about 1/2
the price.

This weekend, I managed to see both models in the flesh (Neff in
Magnet, Baumatic in Currys) and to be honest, there doesn't seem to be
much difference.. Certainly nothing to justify the extra £150!

Is there any reason to go with Neff (other than the brand)?

Neff tends to be pretty well made and reliable. Baumatic bottom of the
range stuff.

I have a NEFF hob and its is garbage. Poorly made. The markings around the
knobs wear off easily.

I went through the same iterations two years ago; - bought the Baumatic!
It's performed very well; it's easy to clean (since I introduced a
water-softener it now only requires a wipe-over with a microfibre cloth).

AIUI, it comes with three variants of pot supports- we went for the big
black cast iron style- AIUI the spindly 'designer' statinless stell type
discolours (permanentely). when heated

The central 'wok' burner is good for doing omelletes, the centre heats
nicely; while th little burner is good for simmering things.

I only have expereince of the Baumatic model.

******** to both of those statements.

Also to be controversial, I bought a Candy hob at a rock bottom price
from Currys. It's a well regarded make in Italy, very poor reputation
here. IMO the Italian regard for the brand is correct, it's an extremely
well built unit and came complete with all jets etc to convert between
LPG/Methane.

I've got a Neff hob, built in double oven and microwave. They are *far*
better built than the equivalent Baumatic I looked at - as indeed they
should be at the price. Mine were all ex display - I doubt I'd have bought
them at the full price.

I'm not an expert on kitchen equipment - I just looked at fit and finish.
Which was in a different league from Baumatic. The reason I chose Neff was
on the basis of a previous microwave - an early one which is still working
perfectly although not in my kitchen anymore.

More fantasy from dribble. Who couldn't afford secondhand Baumatic for his
council hovel.

Please eff off.

Probably due to trying to filter the ****e that comes out of your mouth.

Could you please post the sounds of your Neff hood here as it will be much
better than the noises you make.
