Bosch NGM5064UC 500 30" Black Gas Sealed Burner CooktopBosch 500 Series : NGM5

• OPTISIM Burner Provides Excellent Simmering as Low as a 400 BTU Effect. Perfect for the Most Delicate Liquids and Sauces
• Deep Recessed Maintop Captures Boil Overs and Spills for Easy Clean-up
• Automatic Re-ignition
• Centralized Front Controls for Easy Use
• Low-profile Continuous Grates Provide a Versatile Platform to Work on, Optimizing use of Various Burner Sizes

We bought this cooktop about 3 months ago. Loved the look and the low profile. The grates are sturdy and sit well on the surface. The knobs are easy to control and ignite. Auto electronic reignition works perfectly. Even if I were to blow the flame off (btw which takes some effort to do) it reignites very quickly automatically. This is one of the very few gas cooktops that have an LED light showing whether any of the burners is ON. This is very convenient as you can easily tell whether any of the burners is on (even if you cannot see the flame easily). Very safe, looks great and cooks great.

Another good feature is that the burners are at a very good distance from each other, allowing you to actually put 4 decent sized pans without interference. The knob positions are very intuitive as you don't have to think which knob corresponds to which burner.

After many pots burned on a smooth surface electric cook top due to heat control issues, I switched to the model 500 black four burner Bosch. My cooking skills improved drastically. Having full control of burners from the slightest simmer to a mind bending wok cooking style, this unit is amazing. Only reason it didn't rate 5 stars....it's a pain to clean due to knob placement. Cast irom grids are far superior to other manufacturers.

I have owned this cook top for less than a year and the knobs scratch easily and warp underneath. The company's response is to delay replacing the knobs. I have been trying to get them replaced for two months and I still have not gotten new ones.

We purchased this stove top on line and failed to realize that it was one of only a few that did not include LP conversion. Cost another $116 to get the kit sent from the distributor. The cooktop works fine and replaced a Jenn Air 10 year old appliance.

Very useful , easy to clean. Automatic starter turns flame on without having to pause or linger on the starter setting. Very nice. Red light indicator shows gas is on. Nice safety feature. Grill is substantial but not overly heavy as another popular brand is. Enamel surface and sealed burners make this easy to clean. No special cleaners needed. The dials seem a good quality...no wobble and they fit well and turn smoothly. Only negative is that there is a sound like a quiet blowtorch when the burners are turned up high but this does not bother us so we deduct no stars for this. Just wanted to mention it in case that would matter to you. We are very pleased with this unit.
