Great looks and performance, terrible interface
on May 14, 2021
Posted by: TCall
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have nothing but good things to say about the performance, features, style, and overall quality.
However, the controls have serious issues. The printed labels on the cook surface are difficult to see in most lighting conditions (they are gray on black), making it difficult to line up pots exactly (which is important with an induction stove).
The touch controls require multiple steps to change most settings since you only have one set of controls for all 4 cooking areas, meaning you have to select an area then change the temperature. For light use this is not a problem, but if you're cooking multiple things at a time it can get very chaotic--turning down (or up) the wrong burner by mistakes is very easy.
If something boils over, it can easily cover the controls since they are set into the surface, making it difficult to see them, and since moisture activates the touch controls it can make them completely inoperable. Several times I've had to use a towel to mop up boiling water covering the controls before I could turn the heat down. At least there's no fire, but it's still a burn hazard.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sleek and Beautiful!
on April 29, 2021

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, this is the most beautiful range I have ever seen! No knobs or grates to clean, and no knob protrusions to injure yourself on while cleaning. The induction stove top is beautiful, and induction cooking is as precise as you want it to be. I love the speed boost which almost instantly brings the temperature up, which eliminates any argument about gas being faster. Following the cooking guidelines provided with the appliance has eliminated any overcooking or burning of food. My bad habits of cooking at too high a temperature have been replaced with lower temperatures which don't dry out or burn foods. I love love love the convection oven. Now my baked goods are evenly baked, at reliable temperatures, and come out perfectly - unlike my gas range that had hot and cold spots throughout the oven resulting in uneven baking. I haven't tried all the cooking options, but what I use regularly, I am spectacularly happy with. My only suggestion is that the markings on the cooktop are a little hard to see, especially for my old eyes!

Bosch Induction Range
on March 9, 2021
Posted by: vbosch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are quite pleased with our new range, though the learning curve to maximally use the appliance is significant. Unfortunately the glass top scratches easily, otherwise a 5 would be in order. The heating elements and cookware must match nearly perfectly to function optimally. We've still some learning to be had.

Feet assembly isn’t heavy enough
on March 6, 2021
Posted by: Shawn
The back feet assembly appears to be stripped out when we got it. There is no easy way to replace the feet assembly to correct the issue because the nut is not accessible.

We bought this when it first came out a few years ago.
negatives: The quality control was poor, screws missing the warmer draw broken, the cook top cotrol was intermitent. The initial issues were discouraging.
Possitives: Bosch fixed it all (customer support was excellent) and it is a very nice induction range. Many ranges have too few heat settings (1-9, Boost). This has intermediate setting for finer control and is much better than the units with fewer settings. The user control is a two step (select hob, set level), which is pretty common and I know of no units with individua hob control that gives the number of level this range has. The oven is excellent of course. Aesthetically, this range is nice and fits well in our arts and crafts style home (a touch modern but nothing like some of the other offerings at that time). This range is very pricey but, at the time, we wanted the flex feature. However, after three years, it isn't used that much and the 800 series would have been a better option.

Great induction range!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great induction range. Very powerful like using gas range. Oven features are wonderful. It's nice to have the option of either using convection or conventional when baking.
