Great range, but has been glitchy so far...
on January 30, 2024
Posted by: Like the Induction, But..
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Good: Bosch's induction components are among the best in the business. This is a powerhouse of an induction range, and you will love the Speed Boost and Fast Preheat features. The convection oven and other various oven modes all work spectacularly. I particularly like the flex area where I can set up two temperatures on a carbon steel griddle. When the oven/range are working, they work very well.
The Bad: In the 1-month we've had it, we have had to reset it (by toggling the breaker panel) since the oven fan was still stuck on hours after it had cooled (yes, we know it runs after the oven is hot, but we woke up in the middle of the night to it still running with no way to stop it). Additionally, the touch panel has also glitched multiple times becoming unusable and beeping constantly with error codes. Turning off the power for 30-seconds has always fixed the problem, but to me this has been unacceptable for 30 days of ownership and such a high price tag. Should it happen again anytime soon we will be making a warranty claim. I understand that these are easily replacable sensors or components, and that these are always a failure point for modern applicances, but I expected a lot more reliability thus far and not to have to treat it like my internet router.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I are so thrilled with our new range. We love having induction (although there is an adjustment period as we learned). Additionally, there are many extra features that we are so happy with. It was a wonderful purchase!
I would recommend this to a friend!

seamless transition

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The design of the cooktop really stood out when comparing brands in a showroom. Initially, Bosch was not on our list but it was obviously superior to competitors because of its streamlined, easy to clean cooking surface. A very important aspect when you do as much cooking as I do.
It's been natural gas or propane stoves most of my adult life but the advantages of induction are very convincing and the switch couldn't have been easier.
A few features of the oven that impressed were the integrated handles in the racks, the sturdiness (no worries about overloading them) and the smooth operation, the multi-rack convection is a nice feature that has turned out to be surprisingly useful.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great purchase!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I switched from gas to this Induction Range about 4 weeks ago and I really love it. It's about as close to gas as you can imagine. It hasn't taken me much time to adjust and had I read the instruction manual which gives suggested cooking temps, it would even have been faster! I love the warming drawer to warm up my dinner plates and keep things warm. I highly recommend.

Better than gas!
on May 22, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 7 year old non induction electric range quit one day and the price to repair was more than the range was worth. I had already been shopping the induction offerings and Bosch was the top of the list. I have not been disappointed!
I had already begun swapping out my old cookware for induction ready cookware and I hit the ground running. What a joy to bring a sauce to boil and then get instant response when lowering the temperature to simmer. Just like the gas stove I had years ago. The beauty of induction is that there is no need to eye ball the flame for temperature, just select the number you used the last time you made your favorite omelet, no guess work.
The range top is well laid out and the auto-sense pot feature is very handy when using the bridge as is the flex setting. Graphics and temperature settings are clear and intuitive.
The oven with its telescoping rack in addition to 2 other standard racks is a big plus. Also the warming drawer is handy when trying to time a diverse dinner to hit the table with everything hot.
The range height was one of the big purchase points for me since our counters are 35 3/8''. I was able to conceal the slight 1/4'' difference with a standard range kit for trimming out ranges. Has that built in look I love.
Bottom line is I couldn't be happier with the design and quality. Sorry gas stove, I'm never going back even if I had gas as an option!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchaced this ro replace a GE gas range. We love the induction cooktop, it is even mopre responsive than gas. The oven is great too. The thing that impresses us the most is how little heat the range throws off. We are really happy!

Love Induction!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great range. We are exploring all the functions. I'm so glad we switched to induction. We learned how to use induction using a hotplate. Having a full range is fantastic.

Bosch Induction Range
on July 26, 2024
Posted by: ACK24
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very nice range, with nice touches like the warming drawer and and silent close oven. However, I have three pretty important criticisms. The glass top, for some reason, is extremely difficult to clean. I've followed all the instructions to a tee, yet smudge marks remain. Also, the setting panel is difficult to read as it does not tilt up. And lastly, the "bridge" burner, which is useless as a bridge unless you are using a rectangular pot or pan. Very misleading!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
