DO NOT GET A BERTAZONNI INDUCTION RANGE

Literally the worst purchase I had in my kitchen reno.

The range electronic is not properly sealed, so everytime you over boil or spill water on the control, they would leak down and fry the circuit board which cost $1500+ to fix/replace.

Even when ignoring that design flaws, their induction range works horribly. Anything under 50% power it goes into this cycle mode (i.e. it goes on and off repeatedly to lower power) The sensor is horribly inaccurate and often randomly switch off.


The one I got is actually a hybrid one with both Gas & Induction (PM363I0X)
It was the only reason I got this despite it costing more than buying a 36" gas + another 36" induction from other common brands.
I think the only reason they are expensive is because of that Italian brand image....the tech and design inside feel like they are from the 1970s

After frying the circuit board the 2nd time I refused to pay another $1500 to fix it so I just end up putting those $60 asian portable hotpot induction range over it and use that instead, which actually works better and feel higher quality than the $4000 bertazonni

The gas side works fine and the design looks nice tho
