Bosch PIJ611BB1E

I’ve found the stove top mechanics to be excellent and it heats up quickly. All round this stove top has great induction function. Like others, I find the touch controls less responsive and quite fiddly - the ability to turn one stove top off quickly would be ideal. Providing only three cooking plates instead of the usual four is a little cheeky but not an issue.

The main issue we have found is the Schott and Ceran glass cover is very poor quality which is surprising given the same company manufactures laboratory-grade glass. The stove top is ...

This cooktop is generally great. We would have given it a 4.5 stars if we could. We switched from electric to this cooktop. Be mindful that you will need to get another circuit installed so there are additional costs for the electrical work. It is so much better than gas or electric cooking though. It is very fast to heat up and the temperature is even. We do find that we need to cook on 7-9 as anything below 7 is a bit slow. It was good value for money though. We also haven't worked out how to get the timer not to start at 30 mins as it is a ...

Bought this 8 months ago. Now, one plate not working. Bosch technician came 2 weeks later. Saw some cockroaches and diagnosed damage from cockroaches as he spoke from experience without any concrete scientific evidence. Bosch said damage not covered. Requiring fumigation before considering discount for replacement. I lost my confidence in Bosch as cockroaches are everywhere. So, make sure your house is cockroaches free if you consider Bosch. Also, I found that changing cooking stations and power is a nightmare. So clumsy and the power too forev...

As an induction cooktop, it's absolutely fantastic. The highest level 9 and the boost are really powerful and extremely fast. In the 6 months I have been using I have never had any issues. As to the details:
- The adjustment range 1-9 is great but the heat significantly drops below 7. I wouldn't call 5 mid-heat for example.
- You couldn't turn off individual plates and have to press and hold the '-' button to zerorise which is not practical. You get used to it, but it's such a simple functionality not available. If you are just using one hotpla...

Not very impressed by the functionality of this cooktop. The controls are a pain to use - you can not turn an individual cooktop off - you need to manually press the + or - button all the way to 0. It makes no sense and it really is annoying. I would recommend looking at a different one with better controls. Also some types of pan that work on other induction cooktops do not work on this.

This is an induction cooker which only operates with induction friendly pots and pans etc. The range of heat settings is more than adequate to cook a wide variety of foods. Two or more large pans can be difficult to place together over the elements as indicated on the stovetop. Controls are difficult to see and therefore operate in poor light. However the appliance works well after continuous use to gain operating experience.

Fast efficient & easy to use this three element stove top is my best friend A medium element plus a smaller one at the back are perfect sizes However the greatest invention is the larger double one element on the left side. This will take a very large skillet, frypan even my paella pan !

What an upgrade, from an old upright stove to this. Kitchen looks so streamline now. Plus it is so efficient. I continue to be blown away by the speed it heats up. It has taken a bit of time to get used to the touch screen and not lifting the pan off the hotplate surface or resting a tea towel on top, but I'm loving it. All my old pans were magnetic and work on Induction also.

Design is nice. Easy to use. But I am very sensitive to noise, so I couldn't give five starts as it started making noise after two months, and there is no way to mute all the audible signals (beeping). I can mute other sounds except the start touch button, which makes a big beeping sound. If you live with people who have a similar life style, it wouldn't be matter. But if you live with other people where kitchen is in the middle of the house, and someone uses while you are still sleeping and hearing the beeping sound from the kitchen, it would be a matter. Otherwise, you'll be fine.

We had been using our old cook top for the last seven years and it was a really good cook top you know how you get comfortable with your appliances well this weekend our old cook top just stopped. So sad. So off we went to the good guys as they,by far, had the biggest choice at the best prices. We had never used all four of the old plates so we decided on a three place induction cook top as we frequently used a large pot and a smaller pot to cook with so this cook top shone out as the best value for money and the good guys had it on special as ...

A perfect match to the oven, which is why we chose it. Boils a big pot of cold water in 5 minutes.....brilliant.
Touch panel is a bit fiddly at first, but as you get used to it, it works well. Timer function is very useful when cooking pasta. You can pretty much set and forget....
