We purchased this cook top after much research.  We wanted a smooth top glass cooktop - black.  I had heard from my dad (who services these) that Bosch is a good brand.  I like the sleek look and the touch panel for the controls.  I did NOT WANT knobs - dirt gets in knobs, etc.  I am pleased with the touch panel.  The cooktop I have has a nice feature in order to speed boil water or heat up a pan quickly.  The touch panel, can be a little tricky to figure out, I blame that on it's European design.  We have the option, on our cooktop, to bridge the two lefthand burners which works great for a griddle.  The cooktop is easy to clean, however, it does scratch if you aren't careful.  We were using a cast iron griddle on the bridged burners and moved it and it scratched the surface.  I realize it won't look perfect forever, but it was less than a year old so I was pretty disappointed.  Overall, it is a great-looking piece and the touch panel looks great!
