Bosch 30 Inch Induction Cooktop
Comments (7)We installed the GE 30" induction cooktop over a Kitchen Aid wall oven. The instructions indicate it should be installed over a GE oven only---but the Kitchen Aid actually allows for more air movement based upon how it's configured. Anyway, no problems so far (granted it's only been a week...) and I absolutely LOVE the induction, the sleek look (we, too, have no frame, we like the sleekness of the cooktop right on the granite) and the responsiveness (I think the responsiveness is better than my gas stove)! Good luck in your decision! Sue...See Morewhat is the best induction cooktop. Prefer 36 inch.
Comments (5)There aren't many knob induction cooktops. Viking, Bluestar, Bertazzoni and Gaggenau (front control 400 series only) have knobs, but that's it. I like the gaggenau (it's pricey though), but not the viking and the bluestar is just too new to the market IMHO. Bosch/Thermador are great value and have lots of options for configuration. The newest thermador has 5 configurable zones for griddles, long pans and other odd shapes and sizes. Wolf & Miele are nice as well, but not as many options in terms of layout....See MoreGE Cafe 30 inch induction cooktop
Comments (6)I had decided on the Bosch, but a local distributor had a close out on the Profile at half price. I jumped on it and bought that and saved about $1200. They didn’t have a floor model so I wasn’t able to see it. What I like: there is a lip on both sides of the top that sit on the countertop like a cooktop would. It’s a sleek look and there’s no gap for foood to fall into. The range is very pretty. The control panel is in a very nice position at the top front, and the controls are very easy to use. What I don’t like: although the brochure says the broiler is 8 pass, it’s not really. And that I am really unhappy about. I specifically wanted an 8 pass broiler. It’s some kind of mickey mouse design that they can call 8 pass but it’s not. So, bottom line, I should have bought the Bosch....See MoreBest 30 inch gas cooktop
