Purchased this unit a few months ago to get more glass top real estate over the standard sized bench opening. Seems easier to use and has finer control compared with the previous unit. Really like the dual ring system to heat things up rapidly then back of to a lower heat. Nice simmmer/keep hot function also.

So far so good, hoping the Bosch brand by use some quality/reliability which is why we try to buy German.

Unfortunately this stove top didn’t match its price tag. After about 6 months the buttons became harder to get to work, then by 9 months it stopped working completely and had to have parts brought in to fix it. The man they sent to fix it thought he was returning to a job he’d had earlier, we were one of many on our tiny street that had had the exact same issue. The burners also stop working once the cook top has “reached the temperature “, however it doesn’t stay that temp so you watch your water boil then stop boiling every minute or so. If you need a consistent simmer or boil forget it. For this reason steaming vegetables takes so much longer.
