I purchased this cooktop a year ago as part of the kitchen remodel at my new house. I previously had a Kenmore that was in my last home that was there when I moved in. This Bosch cooktop is far superior. I love the smaller burner and the simmer cap that allows me to cook a roast or pasta sauce low and slow without burning. The large high output burner helps boil water quicker for pasta, too. The quality of the all the parts and the clean lines look great in my new kitchen. Definitely consider the Bosch! You won't be sorry!
