Nice stove. Controls could be better.
on March 19, 2025
Posted by: Hot Stuff
Now that we've become accustomed to induction, we can write a brief review.
The stove is fine. We like using it very much. We have only five issues:
1. The touch controls are vastly inferior to mechanical controls. They frequently fail to sense our finger touch and often require several attempts at every point along the way of operation. The touch controls cannot be used if the top is not brightly lit, as they are hard to see. Because of the lack of touch reliability, they require great care in use, as one can inadvertently activate the wrong burner.
2. KEEP THE COOKTOP CLEAR OF OTHER PANS! The inadvertent activation of the wrong burner mentioned in 1 once caused a wrong burner to turn on at setting 8, in addition to the correct burner turning on at setting 8. A steel cookie sheet was set aside over that other (wrong) burner. After several minutes, a strange metallic odor permeated the house. We discovered that a cookie sheet we had shoved out of the way was heated to a very high temperature. It discolored the cooktop at that burner and permanently blackened the cookie sheet at the point where it touched the burner. This all happened in a short period of time.
3. The larger burners are both in the rear, which causes us some back strain if we cook with a large pan, as we must constantly reach out and over in order to use them. You would thing the larger burners would be in the front and the small ones in the back, as they were with our old gas stove.
4. The burner settings are pretty worthless below about 6, giving only four useful settings. We've experimented with settings 1, 2, 3 and 4. Even after five minutes, the 2-liter pot of water was cold. Despite what the manual says, the lower settings are not practical.
5. The oven controls are all in the front and are quite small, so we cannot see them without bending over. One needs excellent eyesight (no bifocals) to use them.
Were it not for the controls, we would give the stove a solid four stars. Were it not for the problem in number 4, above, we would give it a solid five stars.

Bosch Induction Range
on March 21, 2025
Posted by: Bill
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very nice. The induction eyes are a bit slow but work pretty well. The oven is outstanding. The fit and finish is excellent. The warmer drawer pops out a little to easy.

It doesn't seem to manage a constant oven temp.
on March 25, 2025
Posted by: Susan
I needed to buy this range because it was the only one that seemed to fit where I needed it to go. We didn't mind spending the extra money to buy a Bosch. I like the looks, have had no trouble with the burners. The problem I'm having is the oven will get up to a certain temperature and then it starts to drop. When I'm baking cookies at 350 degrees for 13 minutes it will drop the temperature to 300 before the cookie are done baking. I have to hover over the oven constantly bumping my temp to 375, maybe even 400 to get my cookie baked. I have put an oven thermometer in the oven and have watched closely as this happens.

Adapting to Induction
on March 25, 2025
Posted by: Robert
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The unit is a big change coming from using electric as it also requires purchasing induction type pots and pans. At first glance it seems as though the food is not cooking hot enough but it actually is without all the heat created by electricity. We are adapting to induction cooking, it's a bit different but in a short time we will have it mastered. The unit is amazing with many features, I like the fact that is not wi-fi. My only gripes are two. First, the Heat element marking on the stove are difficult to center when covered by pan. Also the distance between the elements makes it tight space for large pans placed together. Lastly, I run into the warming tray at the bottom of oven constantly with my feet as I cook and causes the drawer to open. Not the worst of issues but those are mine. I'm still happy I purchased it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Induction Range
on March 26, 2025
Posted by: zeemookey
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Induction cooking is so much more enjoyable than cooking with gas. Temperature is much easier to control with induction. The control panel for the cooktop is simple and intuitive. It is also very easy to clean, and keep clean, even during cooking.
We spent a little extra and got the full extension rack (30" Telescopic Rack HEZTR301), and this was a great add.
An added bonus of the induction top is that when not in use, it's additional counter/prep space in the kitchen.

Great Range
on April 8, 2025
Posted by: Barrett
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently got the induction range and it has been great to cook in. Stovetop cooks really evenly, cools down quickly. The oven takes a little longer to warm up than I thought, but once on bakes evenly and consistently.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Sleek Oven

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super beautiful oven. Bakes perfect. The conduction buttons are kind of annoying to press but what a lovely appliance.
