I researched all Induction Ranges available in local stores near me and found this Bosch 800 series to meet all my needs and wants. My previous induction range had a serious design flaw. It allowed overflow or spilt water to seep into the space where the control panel was and I had it short-out twice. A major expense to repair! This Bosch 800 model has a glass cook top that is not only continuous but also overlaps the adjoining counter. This is a great feature because spillage cannot cause a short or damage also range top has more area for large pans!
