Difficult to keep clean!!!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We did a complete kitchen remodel with all Bosch appliances. I . regret buying this stove top as it is terrible to keep clean. The knobs are located directly in the center of the cooktop and everything gets on them. You would think they would lift up to get under the knob but they dont. REGRET BUYING THIS AND I WOULDNT RECOMMEND IT
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy cooking with this cook top. I've seen other reviews where they mention difficulties in cleaning the surface, but I've had no problems. I've used it daily for almost 3 months.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We're very happy with the cook top but we need bigger cook surfaces. We wish we had the 36" instead of the 30"
This cooktop came with my new condo in Honolulu. It works great and I have no issues with its functionality. However, after using it 9 months now I can not get the burner surfaces clean (this was an issue after just 2 weeks). I've read the owners manual and called Bosh but they do not help with this issue. I did see another review on the Sears website for this exact cooktop that stated they to could not get the burner surface clean so I'm not the only one with this issue. I'm not new to Bosh glass cooktops. I have currently have one in my California house that I've used for 11+years. This cooktop has no cleaning issues and looks almost as good as the day it was installed. Unfortunately the cooktop in Honolulu looks terrible and worn out. This is a high end condo that I rent and so I need to replace the cooktop. Bottom line, don't buy this model. Oh, I should mention the Bosh warranty does not cover the cosmetic appearance so no warranty for this issue. See attached photos of this issue. Keep in mind I spent about 30 minutes cleaning the surface before I took this photo.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I poured over many different brands & models. It was an educated decision for us to pick the NEM5066UC model and one of our best appliance decisions to boot. The quality was evident and has shown itself overtime. We will consider the Bosch brand when we have a future home requirement for any other home major appliances.
