Best kitchen investment ever
on February 9, 2025
Posted by: JJSMFUND
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Between its sleek look, the ultra-fast response to the controls, the helpful built-in features, and its ease of cleanup, our Bosch 800 series induction cooktop is without question the best investment we have ever made in our kitchen.
We bought it to replace a (Bosch) gas 5 burner cooktop, both because inadvertent spills over its 13 years had caused the gas cooktop to look a little too well-used, and because we felt the need to migrate away from fossil fuels in our home. We anticipated a learning curve
and we knew that we would have to upgrade our cooktop electrical circuit to 40 amps to be able to use the induction cooktop, but felt it was worth it.
We were so right! There was virtually no learning curve: it took little more than 2 meals for us to understand the cooktop's heating speed, its most useful settings, and its ease of use. The Auto Chef feature enhances the cooktop's usefulness by assuring a constant temperature for foods that require longer cooking times to cook all the way through. And cleanup is so quick, easy and inexpensive, with merely a household vinegar and water mix sprayed on the glass, followed by a good wipe-down with lint-free cloths. Still looks like the day we installed it.
Speaking of installation, in our case it required only the simplest re-working of gas cooktop's existing butcherblock cutout for the induction cooktop to fit.
This unit checks every box for what we were looking for: ease of cooking, ease of cleaning, free of fossil fuel pollution. This is why I say it has been our best kitchen investment ever.

Liking it
on February 21, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] !st time for an induction top. Easy to use, Becuase of the black top, a little hard to keep clean - shows dust. We ended getting a 'sheet' made for induction cooktops that helps protect it from drops and spills. Heats items fast. It would be great if Bosch had a cooktop protector they would recommend.

Uneven heating
on May 28, 2025
Posted by: Yesbigam
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Even using top-quality All-Clad D5 cookware, the burners have hotspots and can develop burned spots along one edge of pan. The beeping is just so annoying and you cannot turn off many sounds. The touch on the controls is not sensitive enough so I am constantly having to touch repeatedly to activate. I do not recommend this cooktop.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Nowhere does anyone tell you that below the bottom of the stove, a heat sheild unfolds that needs another 2 1/2" of clearance below the 2 1/2" the stoce itself needs below the counter, for a total of 5" clearance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Originally was planning on going with another brand, but switched at the last minute. Glad I did! No knobs makes for easy cleaning. Heat up is fast. Controls are attractive and easy to understand. Great purchase
