NEFF N70 80cm 5-Zone Flex Induction Hob with Frying Sensor
An 80cm N 70 Flex Induction hob with five zones, sensor-regulated frying and Home Connect, giving family kitchens genuine multi-pan capacity.
The T68FHV4L0 sits in the sweet spot of NEFF's N 70 induction range: five zones across an 80.2cm surface, wide enough for proper multi-pan cooking yet needing only a 75cm cutout. Zones run from a 145mm ring for small saucepans to a 240mm centre zone with 3.7kW of boost, so the hob scales from a quiet breakfast to a full family dinner.
Flex Induction is what sets it apart from a conventional five-ring hob. Within the 40cm flexible zone, cookware of any shape or size is detected instantly wherever you place it, zones join or separate to match the pan, and PowerTransfer carries settings across when you move a pot. The Extended Frying Sensor then looks after the temperature once the pan is down.
Ideal For
Five zones across 80cm keep dinner, sides and sauces running together, with the 240mm centre zone boosting to 3.7kW for pasta water and stockpots.
The 40cm Flex zone accepts griddles, casseroles and odd-shaped cookware anywhere within its area, detecting size and position automatically as you set the pan down.
Eleven sensor-regulated frying levels hold oil at your chosen temperature automatically, so sausages, pancakes and pan-fried fish come out the same every time.
Key Features
Use cookware of any shape or size anywhere within the 40cm zone; the hob detects it instantly and shapes the heated area to match.
Zones from 145mm to 240mm suit everything from a milk pan to a stockpot, with the centre zone boosting to 3.7kW.
An integrated sensor regulates frying temperature automatically across 11 levels, preventing overheating and keeping the pan at the setting you chose.
Every zone can draw 50 per cent more energy than its highest standard level, shortening the wait for water to boil.
The imprinted Multitouch+ ring adjusts power directly with a twist of a finger, with a configurable Favourite Button for your usual settings.
Remote monitoring, a dish assistant, automatic Wi-Fi hood control and software updates all run through the Home Connect app.
The 80cm width that earns its keep
Sixty-centimetre hobs force compromises the moment three pans are on together; ninety-centimetre hobs demand worktop surgery. At 80.2cm with a 75cm cutout, the T68FHV4L0 threads the needle. Five zones sit with genuine elbow room between them, from the 145mm rear-left ring for gentle jobs to the 240mm centre zone that boosts to 3.7kW. For a household that cooks most nights, the extra 20cm over a standard hob translates directly into pans that fit side by side, handles that do not clash and dinners that finish together.
Intelligence where it actually helps
The clever features here are the ones you use daily. The Flex zone detects whatever you place within its 40cm area and shapes the heat to it. Automatic zone selection finds the pan when you switch on, QuickStart resumes from where you were, and ReStart restores all your settings if the hob is switched off accidentally and back on within four seconds. The Extended Frying Sensor holds one of eleven frying temperatures automatically, and the dish assistant in the Home Connect app suggests the right one for the recipe.
Installation, safety and the long term
The hob surface-mounts into a 75cm cutout in any worktop of 16mm or more, finishing with a bevelled front edge and a slim 5.1cm profile. The 7.4kW connected load carries current management options for 16A, 13A or 10A fuse protection, so a qualified electrician can match it to the house supply. In use, two-stage residual heat indicators show which zones are still warm, the control panel lock keeps curious hands safe, the pause function holds every zone while you step away, and the safety cut-out ends heating automatically if a zone is forgotten. Home Connect keeps the software current with updates delivered through the app.

The Verdict
Strengths

- 40cm Flex zone with automatic cookware detection

- PowerBoost available on every zone
- 17-stage power settings for precise control

Considerations
- Requires hardwired installation by a qualified electrician; the 7.4kW connected load can be limited to suit 16A, 13A or 10A fuse protection.
- Induction only heats cookware with a magnetic base, so some aluminium, copper and glass pans will not be detected.
- The Favourite Button, keep warm and short boost functions require a connected Home Connect account before they can be used.
