In short
The difference is power. A standard induction hob at 7.4 kilowatts is good, but at 11 kilowatts you are cooking something generally different. If you like grilling and cook for a big household, a flex induction hob with a griddle attachment is worth a conversation. We use one in our showroom so you can feel the difference.

What is said in the video
Most people think induction just means induction, fast, easy, done, but there's a big difference between standard induction hobs and the bigger induction hobs. It's all about the power. A standard hob at 7.4 kilowatts is good. Get up to 11 kilowatts and you're cooking something generally different. If you like grilling and you like cooking in a big household, do you want the griddle attachment?
The flex induction is worth a conversation. We use this one in the showroom specifically so people can feel the difference. Come in and have a go.
