[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I give this a 4 rating because I notice it sometimes does not cook evenly; overcooks on one side when doing a saute. I have tried shifting the pan, but not even. Otherwise great at reaching and changing temps at high and low levels.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The HomeConnect seems like it allows you to control the cooktop but this is not the case. You must be at the cooktop in order to change any setting include turning off a burner. What is the point? The "demo" version of the cooktop support lets you set a time during which the conrolled burner is on but in the actual version this useful feature does not exist

Hi kbkb, thanks for your review. It is important to note that cooktops are not designed to be left unattended while in use. For optimal safety, the appliance should be operated manually. It is not possible to operate the appliance using the Home Connect™ app during this time. If you have any additional questions, please call our Customer Care team at 1-800-944-2904. Thank you.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far we really like this cooktop. It's our first Induction cooksurface. Speedboost is cool, but only works if not too many burners are running. We are still working on figuring out the flex zone. The whole zone doesn't heat the pan. We get hotter spots in the middle so while the cooktop looks like a square lines it still acts like the circles. The middle burner seems pretty good and powerful.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I BOUGHT THIS FOR THE EASE OF CLEANING! COOKING IS SO PRECISE. LOVE MAKING PANCAKES ON MY GRIDDLE AND NOT WORRYING ABOUT MY GRANDKIDS GETTING BURNED WHEN THEY HELP.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love it. I woyld give it a 5 if each burner had an individual timer. It doesn't. So have to go elsewhere for timers! Only has one and it's really not loud enough and only beeps 3 times....
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new bosch benchmark induction cooktop. I'm still learning to use it effectively but so far it's great. I do want to invest in the auto Chef cookware, so that I can get the most out of the cooktop, but it does work well with my current cookware.
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Easy to clean. However, it should come with the standard boarder around to eliminate dust, food, etc to get lodged under the edges.
