Works well, nicely shiny, but hard to clean.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We actually have the NGM5058UC, which seems to have been supplanted by this model, so our issues may no longer be valid.
Prior to purchasing this, which we did mostly because it would fit in the cutout of our old gas cooktop, we read many reviews complaining about the how the gloriously shiny finish on this unit was hard to clean. Those complaints were valid.
Within the first week of use, some hot vinegary water got spilled on the "metal" knobs, which evidently soaked into the lamination that makes the knobs shiny. The resulting spots seem to be uncleanable.
The grates are heavy and hard to clean because they are rough. Scrub them with a sponge or a paper towel and they will have little bits of sponge or paper sticking to them. Ditto with the removable burner tops.
I do appreciate the fact that the steel surface under the grates is a big shallow tub, which keeps spills out of the interior of the cooktop, but to really clean it you have to remove the burner tops, the burner spacers etc. And any trace of water remaining on the "stainless" surface will spot. The only thing I've found that removes the water spots is a barely damp microfiber polishing cloth.
All in all I'd say it takes a good 30 to 40 minutes to clean this unit, which, if you are obsessive about maintaining a spotless cooktop, you'd have to do every time you cook with it. Fortunately, we are not obsessive.
My only other issue is that the igniter action is tricky. Sometimes if you turn the knob too quickly after the gas ignites, the gas flow just shuts off. I think the trick is to stop depressing the knob immediately, THEN turn the knob out of the ignition zone.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cooktop is great! The flames should be a little stronger on all burners.

500 Series Gas Cooktop
on October 24, 2024
Posted by: CST010
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Installation was straighforward and relitivly easy (had to cut the cabinet some). The one I installed was propane and setup for that was described well in the instructions. I've had this for about two months now and it works well. Does require some work to keep clean. I have a full size microwave mounted above this cooktop and because of the height of the grates, lost about 1.5 inches of clearance between the cooktop and microwave (I didn't take this into account), so tall pots do not fit on the right side back burner.

This is my first Bosch cooktop. Have dishwasher and frige. Love all my Bosch. The cooktop is a breeze, very heat adjustable and works quickly. Very easy to clean. I am so glad I stuck with gas and didn't go for the induction.

After 14 yrs, we had to replace our old Bosch Cooktop - of course, with a new one. Still learning the new features on this but we are sure we will enjoy it as much as the old one
