Bosch Serie 6 PCR7A5B90A

Works fine – Installed 11 months ago to replace an old 75cm LPG cooktop. Comes with LPG jets in the box. The bad: The 5 burner layout on 75cm is too crowded, should have got the 90cm version. Can only put small pots at front as front burners are near edge of trivets, the trivets should have gone to the edge of cooktop. The black tops on burners stained in a weeks use. Don't spill anthing on wok burner its a very hard to clean out. Tight spacing between control knobs and hard edges of the knobs makes it harder to clean them. The good: Stainless steel cleans up realy easy. Originaly found that the lowest 3 settings on dial were all the same flame size and quite high, then it was adjusted. Now low settings are great for simmering. Wok burner not great, but still good and we use it a lot to get big pots to the boil. I like how the trivets cover all the cooking area, lets me slide pots and pans across the cooktop safely. Good flame control but you get that without the stepped control dial anyway. The raised burners and outer edge will contain small spills within cooktop.

There aren't a lot of quality 75cm cooktops to pick from and it fitted easily into existing hole in our bench. Is it worth $1100? I dont think so. Made in Spain not Germany. Spain OEM build for a few brands. Summing up it works ok, hope it lasts. Got it as it was easier and cheaper than getting an induction cooker installed.

Way too much work – I love Bosch products - I have bought many over my lifetime (the ones made in Europe). But this stove disappoints on 2 aspects. 1) It boasts 9 flame settings, but none so low as to stop burning on a 'simmer', using a good quality saucepan. 2) and this is my major criticism: the stainless steel surface requires SO MUCH WORK to keep clean!! Whoever designed stainless steel as a surface was not familiar with cleaning them - or trying to keep them clean. I have spent a disproportionate & disappointing number of hours in my life trying to keep it looking clean & looking good. The stainless steel marks way too easily. Give me the former white enamel surface any day - a quick wipe - with water, no chemicals - and it was clean. Also, it is five years old & one of the piezo-electric starters has given up already. [Unfortunately I bought a stainless steel fridge too. Never again.]

Poor cooking performance - Bosch gas cook top PCR7A5B90A – We bought a Bosch gas cook top (PCR7A5B90A) in approximately March/April 2018 as we were having our kitchen renovated. It is a nice looking unit but, unfortunately. it takes some time to heat up and seems to cook mainly on the outer surface of the cooking pot. Very disappointed and could not recommend.
