Bertazzoni induction cooktop vs Bosch

14 years ago

Help! I have been set on the Bosch 800 induction cooktop. I like all of the features...autochef, countdown timers, etc. People here who have them seem to be very happy with them.

Here's the problem...I've LOVED the looks of the Bertazzoni induction cooktops with the knobs. There's is just something about it that keeps calling me back. I've read the owner's manual and it does not appear to have any of the features of the Bosch.

The price difference isn't really an issue because of the way that I'm combining some discount packages. If I get the Bosch cooktop I can get the Miele dishwasher that I really want. If I get the Bertazzoni cooktop then I need to get a Bosch dishwasher that is totally fine...just not the Miele I had planned on.

So I feel like I should obviously care more about what the appliance does than how it looks, BUT...the looks keep pulling me back.

Any advice?

Thanks,

Stephanie

I can only figure out how to do one link. Here's the Bosch:

Oh that Berta is a beauty! I was looking at the Gaggenau but may have to take a longer look at this one. Did u decide yet?

For looks, go for the Bertazzoni! It looks sooooo cool. I love my Gaggenau with the knob, but sometimes have trouble with the touch controls for the on and off and timers. Didn't want to go all touch for that reason. Though I do love the timers and use them several times a week. Tempted by the Viking with knobs, but really didn't like the look of the cooktop with the squares.

Because of the lack of track record for that unit, an extended warranty should be included in calculations. But I would get the Miele even if a lower model.

BTW, Bosch has a $300 rebate on now for 800-series cooktops purchased before (double-check this date) November 30. There is a grace period if you haven't taken delivery of the cooktop yet. Google the form to read rules.
