This is a very basic, no frills gas cooktop that carries a somewhat higher price tag than comparable brands, but you do get the Bosch name and a good design. If you are DIY installing, the propane conversion must be done with care but the proper parts ARE included in the package (make sure the five brass nozzles are in small bag when you unpack it). Take care not to strip a nozzle when switching, as they require a 7mm socket. Changing over the regulator is a 2 minute job. At some point you must remove the faceplate to adjust each valve screw by hand after removing the starters. In other words, if you don't know what you are doing, don't do it! If you don't have propane, no problemo.

Esthetically the cooktop looks well made even a little industrial however it is very difficult to keep clean. Even as simple as frying an egg in the morning is a mess. Because there is no enamel and its straight stainless steel everything is visible. Material also scratches very easily. The knobs are uncomfortable to manage if you have any cookware on the right of left lower burners.
