Great looking and great working cooktop
The unit looks and works great. It is very easy to use and has more heat setting than most cooktops. It's very easy to keep clean. I highly recommend this cooktop and the price is also very good.

Beautiful Bosch
The Bosch ceramic hob is beautiful, simple and easy to clean. It heats up really quickly and has these short cuts that mean you don’t have to laboriously click all the way through from 0 to 9. PS the advice and service I got from the Good Guys employee was exceptional.

Sleek and efficient
Didn't realise how inefficient my old cooktop was until the new one was installed. My cooking time has been cut down dramatically an I can now brown meat, not stew it. The heat is instant and constant, plus there are more levels to choose from. I really like the fact there are no knobs to collect food spills and cleaning is so easy.

Got to be Bosch
This is a replacement for a product that failed under warranty not purchased through the TGG. I am so glad the other brand failed! The Bosch cooktop is a far superior product in a similar price range. Heats quicker, heats better, easy to use. I wish I had bought this cooktop first. The Good Guys service has also been far much better than the other company!

Heats quickly and easy to clean
Heats very quickly and hot plates are well spaced allowing for multiple pots to comfortably be used at the same time.

At a glance
This 60cm Bosch ceramic cooktop is a practical mid-range option for households wanting a sleek electric surface with four zones and simple touch controls. It suits everyday family cooking, modern kitchen updates and users who want easy wipe-clean maintenance. Key strengths are its frameless design, 17 power levels and safety features, but it does not offer the faster response of induction or more advanced premium control systems.

Things to consider
Compared with induction cooktops or higher-end ceramic models, this cooktop can feel slower to heat and uses press-style touch controls rather than faster slide controls.
Family cooking suitability
8/10 - four zones and a practical 60cm layout suit regular family meals and cooking more than one dish at a time.
Easy cleaning score
9/10 - the flat frameless glass ceramic surface and touch controls make everyday wipe-downs straightforward.
Kitchen integration fit
Excellent for modern 60cm kitchen layouts and surface-mount installations, especially where a frameless black finish is preferred.
Safety rating
8/10 - child lock and residual heat indicators provide useful everyday safety features for busy households.
Key benefits
- Four Ceramic Zones: Lets you cook multiple dishes at once for everyday meals and entertaining.
- 17 Power Levels: Gives you finer heat adjustment for simmering, melting and browning.
- Touch Controls: Creates a smooth surface that is simple to operate and easier to wipe clean than knob-based designs.
- Frameless Glass Ceramic Surface: Delivers a clean, modern look that blends neatly into contemporary benchtops.
- 60cm Cooktop Size: Fits a common kitchen format that suits many standard household layouts.
- Child Lock: Helps reduce the chance of unintended operation in homes with children.
- Residual Heat Indicator: Shows when a cooking zone is still hot to help prevent accidental contact after cooking.
- Benchtop Compatibility from 16mm: Gives installers flexibility for a wider range of kitchen bench setups.
Q: Is this Bosch ceramic cooktop slower than induction to respond?
A: Yes. Bosch PKE611BA2A is a ceramic cooktop, so heat-up and temperature changes are usually less immediate than on induction. It suits steady simmering, melting and general cooking, but it will not give the same near-instant response when you turn heat up or down.
Q: Will the Bosch PKE611BA2A fit a thin stone benchtop?
A: Yes. Bosch PKE611BA2A suits surface-mount installation in benchtops from 16mm thick, which helps in thinner kitchen builds. The cut-out still needs to match the cooktop and installation must be completed by a licensed electrician.
Q: Can I use four pots comfortably on this 60cm cooktop?
A: Yes. Bosch PKE611BA2A has four ceramic zones, so it can handle several pans at once for everyday meals or entertaining. On a 60cm layout, very large pans can still crowd nearby zones, so it is best matched to regular household cookware sizes.
Q: Are the touch controls easier to clean than knob controls?
A: Yes. The flat glass ceramic surface and touch controls leave fewer raised parts where splashes and grease can collect. That makes wipe-downs simpler than a cooktop with physical knobs, though the surface still needs to cool before a full clean.
Q: Does the residual heat indicator mean the surface cools quickly?
A: No. The residual heat indicator shows when a cooking zone is still hot after use, not that it has cooled down quickly. Bosch PKE611BA2A can hold heat after switch-off, which is normal for ceramic cooktops and worth allowing for when cleaning.
