Bosch - 800 Series 36" Built-In Electric Cooktop with 5 elements and Stainless Steel Frame - Black/silver

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well designed, high quality product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The unit cooks really well. It holds temps pretty well without a lot of fluctuations. One thing against it is how easily is gets shiny spots that seem to be under the glass and go away gradually or eventually (these are not spill spots). That makes me question the long term reliability. Also, occasionally if liquid splatters out onto the control pad, the whole thing can shut off.

We purchased an all Bosch kitchen and this one item greatly disappointed us. It will not sustain a rolling boil of 6-8 quarts of water for pasta, soup, etc. We are using quality All-Clad pots and pans. Heat cycles all on or all off making it difficult to precisely control heat for sensitive items. Recommend gas or induction (have not used induction though, just read reviews).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are happy overall with our Bosch 800 cooktop however there is one improvement I would recommend. That is to have the on/off button constantly lit. I would also recommend that when the on button is pressed the panel with the heat settings also light up so you can see them in a dim lit kitchen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Bosch cooktop. It is a little slower to cook things than some cooktops. I do wish the controls were more visible.
