Induction Plus
on February 7, 2023
Posted by: DonV
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second experience with Induction and I remain a big fan over other forms of cooking. So far I only have some minor grievances. My first experience was with a Samsung range and that also had pluses and minuses. The power levels on the Samsung seemed to be higher at the same power number selection but the Bosch levels seem to be more consistent. For example, at the start of cooking I would select a level 5 (default when power on) on the Samsung. With the Bosch I start with a 6.5. On the plus side the Samsung did not have .5 increments. I am not a fan of the touch controls on the Bosch but this seems to be the norm today. If you have any residual food or grease on your finger the control is not going to respond. An example - if you turn on Boost to get things boiling, forget and things start boiling over pressing a lower button doesn't work if the liquid from the boil over is on the buttons. Another complaint is that when cooking I tend to have things spread around. If you put something down on the cooktop it will sound off and in some cases shut down. I have read some of the manual and I am sure it has to do with the auto assistance features but it can be annoying when you just want to set the lid of a pan down for a sec. I chose the Bosch over others because it had highest levels of power over all the burners (?). That’s great but the pan size marks are cross hair markings instead of circles as they are on most other brands. It makes it harder to make sure you are using the correct burner for the pan size. On the plus side the pan can be much smaller or larger and they will work. I can now use a super small sauce pan that I could not use on the Samsung. If the pan is larger than the markings then the entire pan might not get heat depending on the pan materials. All the complaints aside I am happy with the cooktop and use it several times a day.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We're looking for a flat top that was affordable and wouldn't wear like ones with the bottom. This unit has surpassed that and more. Great stuff!

We Love our new Induction Cooktop
on July 23, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fab fab fab! It took a while to learn the best weay to pan fry, saute or "grill" foods the only thing we found difficult was getting a magnetic Greek or Turkish coffee pot to work, possiboy they are to narrow work. I have asked the Bosch folk what is the "mimimum base diameter" that is requiredand does it differ with each of the 5 hob elements? No one has ever answered with an answer!! They pssed me off with "Look in the manual." I did and the answer is NOT there. Not vey helpful!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Dead on arrival
on December 5, 2024
Posted by: Dave K.
We purchased this unit last spring for a renovation that occurred over the summer. The first time I used it, I was amazed at how awesome induction technology and cooking on it is. Then the errors came. We can only use 2 zones, both on the left side of the cooktop. Without even turning the other zones on, the the remaining ones show "E". Of course if we try using any of those zones, we get the same result. This purchase was a part of an entire Bosch appliance package. We had a Bosch set in our last house and loved them. Every appliance we bought this time feels really chincy. Might be the last Bosch purchase. I'll have to see how long the rest of them last.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
