We had an induction top before,but this is so much better.

I bought this cooktop a few months ago and was a bit worried about the new technology but didn't need to as it is absolutely marvellous. Would thoroughly recommend it.

I spent weeks on research before buying this unit .. as we are "empty nesters" we felt that a 3 zone would be more than adequate, especially since I was told by the salesman that the BOSCH Induction cooktops come with pot sensing technology to only heat the surface area required. Cool i thought .. this will give me the flexibility i needed for different pots and pans, so I forked over the $ required for a brand name. After installation, I was so frustrated as I could not get the Pot detection to accept an induction compatible pot on the front right hand side zone. I spent hours trying different pots and sizes and could never get this zone to accept a pot smaller than the circle indicated... in fact it has to be BIGGER than the circle before the pot detection will accept it. If you look at the size of the circle you will see how restrictive this has now become. I can ONLY use the rear right zone for any pot smaller than 22cm base .. if i had known this i would NOT have purchased this unit. After calling AFTER SALES research it appears that the sensors require UNBROKEN surface contact for 60% of the circle before registering a pot and heating the area required. This means if there are dimples or any raised areas of the pot bottom, it will not register. Best option it appears is to use totally flat bottomed induction compatible stainless steel pots and pans
