Stunning! It is a beautiful hob and does look the part. It's black glass so does need to be cleaned quite often as can see every bit of dust. That being said, currently renovating so might not be as bad once the dust settles scuse the pun! Good amount of heat distributed. Would have like the option to add a pic. But it looks as advertised.

Well built and aesthetically pleasing gas hob. Sturdy product which complements our kitchen

Exactly as expected except it did not have a plug - as per the spec and fact sheet - needs updating as needed to go out to buy a plug! Prompt delivery and well packaged

Very happy with this hob. Good spaces between each burner so pots don't clash. Excellent control of each gas ring with nine settings on each. So simmer means simmer. The black glass looks good but need to purchase the correct cleaner and cloth to keep it polished. Great unit from Bosch.

I bought the forerunner to this which is identical apart from the control dials. It cooks great....end of, but it comes with a hefty upkeep element. In addition to the black glass base there are a further 21 elements of this hob that require washing and the alloy and cast burner caps stain and rust. I have just finished washing mine and it has occupied me for an hour. Contemplate this scenario. First you remove the cast stands, then the burner components and dials. They then head to the sink, not the dishwasher, for a good old soak before some energetic scrubbing to try to remove anything that has had the audacity to fall onto one of these items and burned. Next you break out your cleaning agent of choice to have a go at the filthy glass top to remove any dried food or even oil splashes. Once done with that you then retrieve your glass cleaner of choice and give it another going over. Having done this and then dried off your other components you get to reassemble your pride and joy in the vain hope it will look just how it did when it came out of the box. Not a hope.....I did mention that the alloy stains and the burner caps stain and rust. Oh and I forgot to mention that the cast iron pan stands are coated with some sort of material presumably to make them easier to clean and prevent rusting, except if you happen to move frying pans etc about, it actually wears off the coating! In conclusion then. Prior to buying this I had considered an induction hob. Wish I'd bought the induction hob. Remember this (wish I had), how east is it to create marks on your windows and mirrors just by inadvertently touching or spraying them with something? That hob is the same surface and you're cooking on it and the 21 other bits that sit on it.

love the look of it and easy to use. Only down side is the cleaning and durability. It looks great but being glass you need to be careful as already seeing small scratches after only a few weeks. Also easily smears and when cleaning don't just wipe with a damp cloth. I have found easiest way to clean is initially wipe away any food stains with a damp cloth then spray a small amount of glass cleaner onto kitchen roll wipe over then buff with a soft dry cloth.

Excellent cooker amazing quality and the perfect look to my new kitchen

We identified this gas hob as a replacement and upgrade over our old one. It was delivered and fitted fuss free by AO. What we have found is that it is up to the job, it offers the five gas rings and with slightly more space than was offered by our old. We selected black to go with a black stone worktop and its fit in very nicely. There is much adjustability to the gas level for each hob so it's easy to find the right level for the job in hand. The pot stands are easily removed and after which cleaning the main surfaces is straightforward. It has a safety feature which will stop the supply of gas if this isn't ignited after a short period. Overall we are happy with the purchase and service received.
