I have always used gas appliances, but my home now has only electric and I was not having the success and results with my cooking and baking with electric. I purchased the Induction range based on the many excellent reviews and I have to say that this is the BEST investment I have made for my home! My cooking and baking has been on par with that of my previous gas appliances. The quality of the materials that Bosch uses in their products is evident right from the moment, my range was unpackaged. From the racks, to the sturdy oven door, the pleasing induction top and efficiency of the induction cooking system....there are TOO many positive points to list in this one review. The bottom line in my opinion is that BOSCH is one of the best appliance manufacturers with products that are sure to make any consumer become a true believer and life-long customer!
