After researching for a replacement for old gas hob for my 85+ yr old parents settled on the Bosh. Although not the cheapest on the market was same size as previous hob, same set up as previous hob and looking at description / reviews easy to use ( which was very important), also, have had Bosh products in the past and they have been high quality. Parents have used for a week now and couldn't be more happy, so easy to turn on/light, so easy to control flame, all the parts look very good quality and sturdy, also very shiny good looking product. Obviously can't comment on reliability as yet, but so far 10 out 10
