Disappointed with Bosch HLS79R351A – I purchased this free standing stove recently because the old one died and I needed a quick replacement so I purchased online and it was a great service. The Bosch stove with a pyrolytic oven and 4 induction hotplates was made in Turkey which I wasn't entirely happy with; and eventually, I managed to operate the functions. The User Manual was hopeless and of little use. However my main reason for writing this review is to warn potential buyers from buying this product as the function buttons on the stove top are not illuminated. Gray on black has very little visual contrast and in order to see what I am doing i.e., increasing or decreasing the temperature, setting the timer and/or using the boost function, I have to get a torch to read the panel. I have under cabinet lighting but even these LEDs don't help me read the operators. As an ergonomist and familiar with product evaluations, I have to say this product in ergonomics terms is a great disappointment. Having to keep a torch near the hotplates is ridiculous.

Purchased in for $3,006.
