Smeg SAI4954 Induction Cooktop
I bought this cooktop as it was the only one that would fit into my bench having taken out a gas cooktop. It works ok but the instructions to use it are absolutely hopeless and trying to figure out how to find, let alone use, any function other than basic turn on and heat a plate up … well I haven’t worked them out yet!

New Induction Cooktop
We want to upgrade to induction and were replacing a Smeg Electric Cooktop. This provided the exact same cutout saving on installation costs etc... The upgrade is well worth the additional expenditure.

Smeg Universale 90cm Induction Cooktop
Its been 3 weeks so far with no problems. Takes a little bit of time to get used to after using gas but worth it. Since it was the only model that would fit my existing cooktop cutout I purchased it and at this stage am more than happy with it. I would recommend it.

Smeg: It Works
Replaced a gas cooker with this induction stovetop. It works fine, just takes a little bit to get used to the digital controls. Noisier than expected, and heat escapes into drawer underneath which is unexpected

Amen induction cooktop
Enjoying using the Smeg cooktop. Easy to use. Fitted existing hole in our stone benchtop without needing to modify the opening. Looks great and easy to clean

Gorgeous Slimline in my benchtop
We have only had this installed for a few days, and so far we love it. It looks great in our stone benchtop, much more slimline than the big gas one we had with the cast iron trivets. What a difference it makes to the kitchen. It does make a slight hum when cooking, which is something i will have to get use to, but so far we are happy with it.

Smeg 90 cm induction cooktop
Very nice cooktop as well change over from a gas cooktop. Easy to use and it has an independent timer for each pot. Very handy as we do not have to worry about burnt food.

Q: Will this Smeg 90cm induction cooktop suit a standard 90cm cooktop cut-out?
A: Not always. Smeg lists several 90cm induction cut-out formats across the range, including 478-482 x 839-844 mm, 490 x 860 mm and 490 x 880 mm, so this model should be matched to your benchtop opening before purchase. Discuss with your electrician.
Q: What are the main benefits of choosing this Smeg induction cooktop over a ceramic electric model?
A: Induction heats the pan directly, so this Smeg 90cm cooktop responds faster and gives more precise temperature control than a ceramic electric surface. It can also reduce wasted heat, but it does require induction-compatible cookware.
Q: Does this Smeg Universale induction cooktop need special cookware?
A: Yes. This model needs cookware with a magnetic base, such as many stainless steel or cast iron pans, because induction works by energising the pan rather than the glass surface. Aluminium, copper or glass pans usually will not work unless marked induction compatible.
Q: Is a 90cm induction cooktop a good choice for larger households or frequent cooking?
A: Yes. A 90cm surface gives more room for multiple pots and larger cookware than a 60cm model, which can make batch cooking and family meals easier to manage. The trade-off is that benchtop space and cut-out compatibility matter more on replacements.
Q: What warranty applies to this Smeg Universale induction cooktop in Australia?
A: This Smeg cooktop is covered by a 2 year parts and labour manufacturer warranty in Australia under Smeg's major appliance terms. That is separate from rights available under Australian Consumer Law if the product has a major failure.
