Very good design, operation, clean

This is very neat and we are venting to outside world and it's incredibly efficient. Maybe a tiny but noisier than I had hoped, but it removes all fumes when needed. Very happy over all and it looks easy to take filters off and run through dishwasher.

never going back to gas!

Sleek, easy to clean, and powerful - boils a pan of water etc very fast. Only thing not done yet is try a wok (heat up sides you get with gas could be an issue) but we are really pleased. Great you can adjust the various beeps and alerts to your liking. So neat/easy to clean (did I say that already...)

Powerful enough, not extremely resistant

It has plenty of power, will heat up your pots/pans pretty quickly, and the medium setting is quite often enough to cook. However, it doesn't seem very resistant - in a matter of 3 months it's already showing some scratching from using standard stainless steel pans.

Great Induction Hob

Great new hob in our kitchen, nice clean lines, easy to use and powerful. Never go back to any other type of job. Only trouble is that have been prevented from applying for the extended warranty which is extremely annoying as couldn't access the portal for some reason!

Excellent first impressions of Bosch Induction Hob

We have been using our Bosch induction hob for a month now and have been very impressed. We moved from a four ring gas hob and have not had any issues adapting to cooking on induction, other than needing to keep a closer eye on things as the heating is far more efficient! We have a number of Bosch appliances and would always recommend the brand for quality products that are reliable and well made.

Can I use Home Connect with my older appliances?

Unfortunately, this isn't a good idea. Retrofitting an older appliance that wasn't originally designed to work with the app is difficult and expensive. There is also the added challenge of ensuring that all electrical safety precautions are still in place.

What kind of Wi-Fi router do I need?

Any standard Wi-Fi router that is roughly five years old or newer should work. Just remember that for security reasons, you must encrypt your network. You can't register your appliance over an unencrypted network.
