NEFF N70 60cm 4-Zone Flex Induction Hob with Twist Touch
NEFF's N 70 Flex Induction hob in a standard 60cm width, pairing Twist Touch ring control with an Extended Frying Sensor and Home Connect monitoring.
The T66FHX4L0 brings NEFF's N 70 induction cooking to the most common hob size in Irish kitchens. It drops into a 56cm cutout, carries four zones with seventeen power stages apiece, and offers PowerBoost on every one of them. If you are replacing an ageing 60cm hob, this is the format that fits without rework.
The standout is Flex Induction. Two flexible zones let you place cookware of any shape or size anywhere within the 40cm area, and the hob detects it instantly. Zones join or separate to match the pan, PowerTransfer carries your settings when you move a pot, and automatic zone selection means the hob finds the pan rather than the other way round.
Ideal For
At 59.2cm wide with a 56cm cutout, it fits the standard hob aperture found in most Irish kitchens, so upgrading from an older 60cm ceramic or induction hob is straightforward.
The Extended Frying Sensor regulates pan temperature automatically across 11 frying levels, holding your chosen setting so butter does not burn and steaks sear consistently rather than scorching.
Home Connect lets you check the hob is off from anywhere, browse recipes in the app, and link the hob to a compatible Wi-Fi hood that adjusts itself while you cook.
Key Features
Place cookware of any shape or size anywhere within the 40cm flexible area; size, shape and position are detected instantly and zones join or separate to suit.
Nine main levels and eight intermediate steps per zone give fine control, from a bare simmer for sauces up to a hard, fast boil.
Every zone can call on 50 per cent more energy than its highest standard level, so a large pot of water reaches the boil noticeably faster.
An integrated sensor regulates frying temperature automatically across 11 levels, preventing overheating and keeping oil at the setting you chose for the whole fry.
An imprinted touch ring controls power directly with a twist of your finger, and a configurable Favourite Button recalls your preferred functions instantly.
Remote monitoring, a dish assistant for temperature settings, hood control over Wi-Fi and software updates all run through the Home Connect app.
Cooking zones that follow the pan
Traditional hobs make you fit the pan to the ring. Flex Induction reverses that. Within each 40cm flexible area the hob senses the size, shape and position of whatever you put down, joining or separating zones automatically. Move a pot to a new position and PowerTransfer brings its settings along at the touch of a button; the QuickStart function even selects the right zone the moment you switch the hob on. It is the difference between arranging your cooking around the hob and simply cooking.
Frying without the guesswork
Most frying goes wrong at the temperature stage: too hot and the butter burns, too cool and food stews. The Extended Frying Sensor watches the pan for you, regulating heat automatically across 11 frying levels so the temperature you set is the temperature you keep. Through the Home Connect app, the dish assistant suggests the right setting for what you are cooking, which takes the trial and error out of anything from pancakes to pan-fried fish.
Fitted for real kitchens
Installation details matter as much as cooking features. The T66FHX4L0 needs a 56cm cutout in a worktop of 16mm or more, sits just 5.1cm deep, and surface-mounts with a neat bevelled front edge. Its 7.4kW connected load includes current management options for 16A, 13A or 10A supplies, so an electrician can match it to your home's fuse protection. Day to day, the panel lock prevents accidental activation, two-stage residual heat indicators show which zones are still warm, a pause function holds everything while you answer the door, and a safety cut-out stops heating if the hob is left unattended.
How It Compares
| Kitchen Need | NEFF Technology | Practical Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Batch cooking | 2 Flex Induction zones | Griddles, fish kettles and odd-shaped pans sit anywhere in the 40cm zone and are detected automatically. |
| Fast weeknight dinners | PowerBoost on all zones | Any zone can draw 50 per cent more energy than its top standard level to shorten the wait for a boil. |
| Delicate sauces | 17-stage power settings | Nine main and eight intermediate levels per zone hold a low, steady simmer without scorching or bubbling over. |
| Frying and searing | Extended Frying Sensor | Eleven sensor-regulated levels keep the pan at your chosen temperature so nothing burns while you plate up. |
| Busy family homes | Panel lock and safety cut-out | The control lock stops little fingers activating zones, and heating shuts off automatically if left unattended. |
| Smart kitchens | Home Connect with hood control | Check the hob is off from anywhere and let a compatible Wi-Fi hood adjust itself while you cook. |

The Verdict
Strengths
- Two Flex Induction zones with automatic cookware detection
- PowerBoost available on all four zones
- Extended Frying Sensor with 11 automatic levels
- 17-stage power settings on every zone
- Home Connect remote monitoring and Wi-Fi hood control
- Standard 56cm cutout suits most 60cm hob replacements
- Panel lock, pause function and automatic safety cut-out
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 on the zones.
- The Favourite Button, keep warm and short boost functions require a connected Home Connect account before they can be used.
