I have that exact set up & can confirm aj's point. I got my Buffalo second hand from eBay for ã60 so there are bargains to be had. Just check the fan on the base is still attached after postage. I ended up having to take the base off & clicking it back in to place as it kept shutting off with an error code.

I picked up a bufallo for ã70 sh and am very happy with it. Boils off too much flat out in my 32l pot so going for a bigger pot next.
One point to remember is that induction hobs need a soft start (i.e. use with timers where they're powered up in the 'on' position will seriously degrade their lifespan. Also, never switch it off until the fan has stopped running.
So have a supply to the hob powered up, then turn on using the dial on the machine? I.e. Avoid turning on at the wall with the hob in the on position?
Just bought myself one for sub ã50 and looking forward to giving it a go. Cheaper than two decent elements.
That's the way!

I used a 100 litre pot on a Buffalo - it did overhang, didn't have any problems apart from it being slow to get to the boil with 70l of wort. I now use it with the pot across 2 Buffalo hobs and have had no problems with this either - works really well - can put 6Kw into it to get to boil then turn both down - really controllable, no tricky elements to clean.

Hey Anneon did you go for the 40cmx40cm? Already have a brew builder 50L pot and really interested in these buffalo induction hobs.
