Good product
Value for money. Portable and does the job. Need to improve on buttons as looks slightly confusing .Better than previous tefal which was difficult to control the heat.

Heats up very fast
Product is good, heats up faster than my gas stove top, bit noisy though, and can take a bit of getting used to get the right settings for the cooking temperature needed.

Useful appliance!
During a kitchen renovation when we were without our kitchen stove for three weeks this appliance kept us going. Quite user friendly.

Very easy to use
Purchased this to use in the man cave. I have owned a couple of different brands but this one is the easiest to use. Works well and glad I purchased the Tefal brand.

At a glance
The Tefal Single Express Induction Hob is a compact portable cooktop ideal for renters, students and households needing an extra cooking zone. It offers strong 2000 W performance, simple touch controls, a timer and useful safety features in a lightweight design. It is best for everyday single-burner cooking, but it will not suit people who need multiple cooking zones or larger meal prep capacity.

Things to consider
This is a single-zone portable unit, so it offers less flexibility than larger induction cooktops or premium multi-zone models when cooking full family meals.
Student suitability
High - compact, straightforward to use and well suited to small living spaces.
Travel suitability
Moderate - lightweight and portable, but best for places with suitable mains power and induction-compatible cookware.
Ease of cleaning score
9/10 - smooth glass-ceramic surface is simple to wipe down after cooking.
Family suitability
6/10 - useful as an extra burner, but the single cooking zone limits larger meal preparation.
Energy efficiency score
8/10 - induction heating directs power to compatible cookware and the 10 heat levels help avoid unnecessary high-power use.
Key benefits
- 2000 W max power: Delivers strong heat for fast boiling, searing and day-to-day cooking tasks.
- 10 heat levels from 60 to 240 °C: Gives you useful control for gentle warming, simmering and higher-heat cooking.
- Boost mode: Provides a rapid heat-up option when you want to get pans up to temperature faster.
- Touch controls: Makes it easy to adjust settings without bulky knobs.
- Built-in timer: Helps manage cooking times for soups, sauces and unattended heating tasks.
- Pause function: Lets you briefly stop cooking and resume settings with less hassle.
- Child lock, pan detection auto-off and overheat protection: Adds peace of mind during everyday use.
- 2.2 kg portable design: Easy to move, store away and bring out when you need an extra cooking zone.
Q: What cookware works with the Tefal Single Express Induction Hob IH9018Z0?
A: It works with induction-compatible cookware that has a magnetic base and a diameter between 12 and 24 cm. If a pan is not induction compatible, the hob will not heat it and the pan-detection safety feature may switch the unit off.
Q: Can the Tefal IH9018Z0 replace a full-size cooktop for everyday cooking?
A: It suits quick meals, small kitchens and extra cooking space, but it is still a single-zone hob. That means it is best for one pot or pan at a time, rather than preparing several dishes at once like a full cooktop can.
Q: How does the 2000W output on this Tefal portable induction hob compare with lower-powered models?
A: This 2000W model will generally heat faster than portable units rated around 1200W or 1800W, especially when using Boost mode. That makes it better suited to boiling water quickly and higher-heat cooking, within its single-burner format.
Q: Is the Tefal IH9018Z0 suitable for both gentle cooking and high-heat searing?
A: Yes. It offers 10 heat settings from 60 to 240 degrees, so it can handle gentler tasks like warming or simmering as well as hotter cooking. For very large batches, the single hob layout is the main limitation rather than the heat range.
Q: Is the glass-ceramic surface on the Tefal Single Express Induction Hob easy to look after?
A: Yes. The flat glass-ceramic surface is easier to wipe down than a gas burner, but it should still be used with clean, flat-based cookware. Lifting pans instead of dragging them helps reduce marks and keeps the cooking surface looking better.
Q: Is the Tefal IH9018Z0 a good option for a small kitchen, holiday unit or temporary cooking setup?
A: Yes. At 2.2 kg with a slim design, it is easier to move and store than a fixed cooktop, so it suits compact spaces and occasional setups. The trade-off is capacity, as it only cooks with one pan at a time and supports 12 to 24 cm cookware.
