Like other reviewers, over 2 years of owning (and of course out of warranty) the on button has stopped working. Spoke to Bosch who didnt acknowledge it was a known fault, when clearly going by this website it is a known issue. Have been told a technician is coming out at our own expense, but you would think after $2K out of pocket, you would get more than 2 years out of it. It is clearly not fit for purpose.

We purchased this cooktop two years ago when we built our new house. The on button for the cook top has progressively got worse to a point now (just after the two year warranty) that it can take half an hour to turn on. Given the the other reviews here this is clearly a manufacturing flaw. I expect to the cook top to be replaced free of charge given it is only 2 years old and there is clear proof that it is a design flaw. Has anyone had this cooktop replace free of charge?

Love cooking with my induction cooktop, but as per all the other reviews the cooktop has been increasingly difficult to turn on. I tried for over an hour the other day and still couldnt get it to work. We have a technician booked to look at it this week, so fingers crossed it gets fixed.

For those having the same issue, we found one way to get it to work was to turn the power off and have your finger over the on button whilst turning the power back on. Not ideal as it requires 2 people, but worth a try if you are desperate.

First of all, we LOVE our Bosch induction 80cm cooktop, looks beautiful and cleaning is a breeze. I would never go back to gas or electric after using one, but there are definitely issues with control board which we really hope Bosch fixes in the future. We're booking a service and hopefully Bosch fix soon. Will let you know how it goes.

Like so many others, became increasingly difficult to turn on, until it gave up completely.
Lodged a fault with Bosch, citing email as preferred contact, so they ring me and leave a message asking if I still want to keep a service ticket open... What???

Love the cooktop when it turns on but... the initial electronic board needed replacement after only a couple of months of use (due to the same issue). A year on and the stove top is again becoming increasingly difficult to turn on, some days taking around 10 min to get going. (We tried light/no light, warmth/cold, turning off for 5+ min, etc all to no avail). After a week of waiting for a service repair support call yesterday we were unable to get the cooktop on at all after nearly an hour of trying. Very frustrating when preparing dinner for guests.

Have had it for nearly a year and has been excellent to use, compared to electric and even gas.

Has had intermittent turning on issues for about 3 months.. sometimes instant, sometimes takes longer like 5 seconds etc. Thought it was greasy surface nope, hot or cold fingers nope.
Well today finally it wont turn on no matter how many different things i tried.
Will need to contact Bosch warranty on look at the finger sensor.

After constantly chirping at you for minutes on end, driving you nuts, now its a 10 minute epic of trying to turn it on, after being condescendingly told by the operator at bosch that it's operator error and i will be charged for a service call, $2400 plus back up warranty, did i mention it is a nightmare to clean?
Wow i wish i never came across this product, but i got suckered into thinking German engineering is the way to go, even though its built in Spain.
