The design of the cooktop really stood out when comparing brands in a showroom. Initially, Bosch was not on our list but it was obviously superior to competitors because of its streamlined, easy to clean cooking surface.  A very important aspect when you do as much cooking as I do. 

It's been natural gas or propane stoves most of my adult life but the advantages of induction are very convincing and the switch couldn't have been easier.

A few features of the oven that impressed were the integrated handles in the racks, the sturdiness (no worries about overloading them) and the smooth operation, the multi-rack convection is a nice feature that has turned out to be surprisingly useful.
