Very fragile glass

We have just purchased our replacement Bosch cooktop because the first one cracked twice - first crack has an unknown origin, the second crack was from me leaning on it, trying to be really careful and minimizing pressure, to wipe the backsplash. You cannot put any pressure on this, amazes me how it holds a stockpot. We had to replace our original because our granite was cut to fit this item 😱 Hoping we have better luck with this one now that we know how fragile it is.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently bought this cooktop to replace a Bosch electric cooktop that I had for ten years and was very happy with. The new cooktop functions very well but has several deficits. (1) The touch controls are not sensitive enough and I often have to push more than once to get them to engage. (2) The center burner only has 2 rings and previous cooktop had 3 rings which accommodated my extra large cookware. (3) This ccoktop does not have the Keep Warm function which was very useful on previous model. (4) Surface of this cooktop is difficult to keep clean and smear free. Finally, my local dealer promised to deliver the cooktop within 2 weeks of purchase but it took about 10 weeks to get it.

Hi, thank you for your review. We appreciate this feedback and have forwarded your comments to our design team for their review and action.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were hesitant switching from gas to electric, but our new Bosch cooktop has us sold. It has great features, it's easy to use, cleans well and looks beautiful in our contemporary kitchen!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the 5 burners, love that nothing hinders cleaning because there are no handles/controls, and five burners is great for holidays.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When its works it's great. But it keeps getting error codes on all burners. Have to turn breaker off for about three to five days. And that is how long before service can get here. So hard for them to see what is going on.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We purchased this electric cook top a few months ago. We love it. It cleans easily and heats up fast. We also enjoy the split elements and the boost button for a ride in heat. We definitely made the right choice.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a replacement for another brand when we developed a crack, we are very happy with the design, features and operation. The flush surface, ease of cleaning and intuitive controls is appreciated.
