Bosch Serie 8 PXY875KW1E Induction Hob
The only reason this Bosch hob didn’t pip the Serie 4 model to the finish line is simply due to the price. Although in terms of features and design this Bosch trumps the previously listed, it comes at a much higher cost.
Our team have provided diversity in prices to help everybody regardless of their budget. This model is well-worth its price tag and upon testing we were impressed.
You can see the bespoke creation from the first time you see it, its unique design carries over to its features too. The hob has four zones, touch controls and even brandishes a useful flexi-induction surface. The flexi-surface caters for bigger pans and pots, as it allows you to merge the four zones together as one big zone.
We love the innovation with the flexi-zone and it can come in pretty handy, as you look to rapidly heat up a big pan that would otherwise take up more than one zone.
Features
- Dimensions: 5.1 x 81.6 x 52.7 cm
