Bosch Home Appliances PKE645C17A
SJMSouth East Queensland, QLD
Great quality, looks very sleek! love cooking with this.
I bought this appliance over 6 months ago and not a single issue. It heats up very quickly and I like the safety feature of the lights staying on until it's completely cool. A bit fiddly to clean around the knobs sometimes, but otherwise very happy with this purchase, overall.

can I retract the review! it's just died, well one of the hotplates so the cost to repair is almost as much as a new one. Not quite 3 years old. Nothing built to last I guess.

Good!
I bought Bosch PKF645D17A when I moved into new house.
Before I used gas cook top and people said gas is better and fast to boil water but I don't think so. when boiling the water it's faster than gas cook top. I really like this cooktop and also made in Germany.

Not Worth The Price!
Ceramic cooktop is very hard to clean. I seldom cook, but when I do, I always make sure to clean the cooktop with damp soft cloth to gently remove the residue. But, it does not matter, it is just so hard to get rid of it Not only that, but under the 2 year warranty, my stove started to beep and the setting changed from low to high, the stove top was very hot to touch and the digital reading went from '2', 'F', 'off' and 'H' consecutively for 5-10 minutes. I have tried to contact Bosch customer service several times today - waiting for awhile and got cut-off several times. Non-existing customer service - NOT happy at all and very disappointed!

Bosch service1 star, appliances online 5 stars!
Am a BOSCH fan (have new double wall oven and food mixer) and after reading all the marvellous reviews about this cook top, purchased one from Appliancesonline to replace my old SMEG one (still working perfectly after about 20 years, just looked old). Delivered the next day, beautiful looking item, made in Germany, dropped exactly into my kitchen top where the old SMEG had been fitted and it was simply a case of the electrician disconnecting 3 wires from the SMEG and reattaching to the Bosch.
Switched on the back two rings and they heated up...Read more
with amazing speed. Tried the front two- nothing! Checked the wiring, fuses etc all perfect. The manual is useless and nowhere could I find a problem solving site on Google.Spoke to Bosch service who said "switch it back on and wait 30 minutes, if nothing happens call back and we'll arrange for a service next week". Explained it was a brand new item that had never ever been used and was therefore dead on arrival so no need for service, just send a replacement - their response "speak to the retailer". Spoke to Appliancesonline, they were most helpful and said they could deal with Bosch service for me or give me an immediate replacement. I opted for the latter. So well done Appliancesonline, Bosch service.....what can I say? PS Most retailers websites say this model has Child lock protection, it doesn't.2 comments

We understand that you have now received a replacement cooktop, however if we can be of any further assistance in the future, please do not hesitate to contact our After Sales Support team on 1300 368 339 during business hours. Regards, BoschHomeAuOut of curiosity I took the old SMEG cooktop apart as it was being disposed of and was amazed by it's simplicity. Just a few heating elements, connecting wires and what looked like a thermostat bar ov... Read more
er the elements that was connected to the "still hot" light and I doubt that the Bosch one would be much different. My Bosch food mixer (made in Slovenia, not Germany) did not work on arrival either (the blender part). In all fairness to Bosch Service I contacted them and spoke to a young gentleman called Jacob and he must have spent at least 30 minutes going through everything, quite often referring to others in your department, to try to solve the problem, so you do have some very helpful people there. The problem turned out to be a safety switch that was sticking. Once this became unstuck" the machine has worked very well ever since.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Just what we wanted
We recently decided to update our 20 yr old Blanco cooktop because only one element has been working for the 5 yrs we have owned the property. Having purchased a Bosch dishwasher six months ago we decided we wanted Bosch for our oven and cooktop too. We purchased the PKE645C17A and couldn't be happier. It heats very quickly and doesn't boil over. Is a nice looking cooktop as well! Perfect for the price!

Best product for the price
I have had this cooktop for 6 months. When I first bought it, like the reviewer below I was concerned by the marks. But using the correct cleaning products ( cerapol - available in supermarkets ) and a bit of determined buffing with that product - all marks have come off. I bought this cooktop as it was the cheapest Bosch cooktop and we were on a tight budget. It has EXCEEDED all expectations.
The dial is extremely accurate and 8 or 9 will give you a rapid boil to almost rival a kettle.
The huge PLUS where this has it all over a GAS cooktop...Read more

Like the product. Bought it couple of weeks ago. But disappointed with discolouration marks appearin
SO far I like everything about that cooktop.
However after using the same two hotplates I noticed discolouration spots straight after using them.
I followed the Manual and always lifted pans rather than sliding them. Also used only a wet cloth to clean them.
I hope there is a way to get rid of them. I only used the cooktop a handful of times and am worried what happens to its look after I use it more often. :(
I like the look of the cooktop, the speed with which the hotplates warm up. Also multiple selections on teh knobs.
Discolourations spots which appeared straight after the first use.
