Product review (5 stars): I love this cooktop!
I bought this Bosch cooktop for a major kitchen remodel one year ago. This evening, as I was cleaning up after dinner, I thought to myself how happy I am with it, and decided to post a review. After a year, I can give it 5 stars with no hesitation --- I love it. It's great looking, to begin with. It's amazing that Bosch got 5 functional burners into a 30" cooktop, but I've had occasion to use all the burners at once and it works great (and my large saut pan is quite large). The large burner has as much power as I've ever needed, while the two simmer burners actually do simmer. It's great to have such a range of BTUs to work with. Clean-up is easy, much easier than with my previous gas stove, a GE Profile. The grates are light enough and small enough to wash in the sink. The knobs are metal, not plastic as some reviewers said. I literally can't think of anything I don't like about this cooktop.
