Those of you that have one are they ok or do you wish you had of stayed with a traditional knob type control?
 
Works ok. Was a bit of a pain doing the self-install but humming along 3 years later.
 
If the touch area gets oily they can be a pain. I'd get normal knobs in hindsight.

Oily? Just wipe it off. If your oil is splattering all over the place :erm:

Oil splatters sometimes. The wife swears at the hob when it doesn't work first time every time. He asked, I answered.

Avoid at all costs. I had one. To turn stuff on and off you have to press the button so certain amount of seconds. If you finger is wet, it doesn't work. If something has boiled over and you wipe the top and the "buttons" the thing starts beeping and you have to wait a certain amount of seconds while all the buttons are in some kind of safety mode standby.

No real point apart from aesthetics as it looks "cool"....
 
Thanks Guys, think rather i give that touch option a miss & go with knobs on the oven that way its still a clear surface.

Try turning off by pressing - + simultaneously
 
touch control sucks in daily use, old fashioned control knobs are still the best choice
