Good but needs work
We did not receive the included scraper with the purchase of the cooktop. Its disappointing that after use and cleaning, marks are still visible on the glass. For the price you we expected a higher quality.

Love our new Bosch cooktop. It replaced a Bosch which lasted overv20byears. A very reliable and great product.
Love the product but disappointed by lack of information provided by The Good Guys when we ordered & paid for the product & installation. Electricians came out & told us we didnt have the right Ampage to install & said we needed a new cable. Asked them to give us a quote. Nearly fainted when that cost was an extra $1148 the sales person at Good Guys had not warned us of this possibility. The young guys from the installing electrical company were fantastic BUT did not leave the property in the same way theyd found it. Left open a door to under the house. Opened and left open, the door to our Meterbox and now we cant get it to shut. We recommend the Bosch Cooktop but suggest you engage your own installer or simply just ASK QUESTIONS.

Great design
Fantastic top. Better than the 2005 model. The timing button is an improvement and the top hot plate layout excellent.

3 weeks old and looks like 15 years old.
After using the cook top for 3 weeks it looks old, very dissapointed . I replaced a16 year old omega ceramic cook top for this new Bosch ceramic top the new Bosch looks older than the new Bosch.

At a glance
The Bosch Series 8 80cm Ceramic Cooktop is a spacious electric cooktop designed for households cooking multiple dishes at once. Its flexible zones, 17 heat levels, timer and keep warm function make everyday meal prep easier. It is especially well suited to families wanting a wide glass ceramic surface without needing magnetic cookware. One limitation is that it has four zones, not the larger zone count found on some premium alternatives.
What it’s great for
- Family Meals
- Multi-Dish Cooking
- Everyday Home Cooking
- Large Pan Cooking
Where it works best
- Family Kitchen
- Open-Plan Home
- Everyday Household Kitchen
Who it’s for
- Families
- Home Cooks
- Busy Households
- Renovators
Things to consider
While it offers a premium 80cm layout and flexible zones, it has four cooking zones rather than the five or more zones available on some larger or more specialist cooktops.
Family cooking suitability
8/10 - roomy 80cm layout and flexible zones make it well suited to households preparing several dishes at once.
Easy cleaning score
8/10 - the smooth glass ceramic surface is straightforward to wipe down after everyday cooking.
Kitchen integration fit
Best for modern family kitchens needing a wider 80cm cooktop with a clean black glass look.
Safety rating
8/10 - includes child lock and residual heat indicator for practical everyday safety.
Key benefits
- 80cm glass ceramic surface: Gives you a wide cooking area that is better suited to preparing multiple dishes at the same time.
- Four cooking zones: Supports everyday meal prep with separate areas for pots and pans across the cooktop.
- Flexible zones: Lets you combine two cooking areas to better accommodate large roaster-style pans.
- Touch controls with 17 heat levels: Allows more precise temperature adjustment for simmering, heating and higher-heat cooking.
- Programmable timer: Helps manage cooking times more easily during busy meal preparation.
- Keep warm function: Maintains food temperature on a low setting until you are ready to serve.
- Child lock: Adds extra peace of mind by helping prevent unintended control changes.
- Residual heat indicator: Makes it easier to see when the surface is still hot after cooking.
Q: Can I use my existing pots and pans on this cooktop?
A: Yes. Bosch PKM875DP1A is a ceramic cooktop, so it does not require magnetic induction cookware. It is designed for flat-based pots and pans, so warped or rounded bases can heat less evenly and make contact with the surface poorly.
Q: Will this cooktop fit a large roaster or fish pan?
A: Yes. Bosch PKM875DP1A has flexible zones that combine two cooking areas to suit larger roaster-style pans. It is still best with flat-based cookware, so very uneven or oversized pans can be less practical across the glass surface.
Q: Does the timer switch the cooking zone off automatically?
A: Bosch PKM875DP1A includes a programmable timer to help manage cooking times, but an automatic zone shut-off function is not listed for this model. Treat the timer as a cooking aid rather than a substitute for active supervision.
Q: Is the keep warm setting enough for cooking from scratch?
A: No. The keep warm function is a low setting for holding food at serving temperature, not for full-power cooking. For simmering, boiling or frying, use the normal heat settings and adjust within the 17 touch-control levels.
Q: Does the surface stay hot after the zone is turned off?
A: Yes. Bosch PKM875DP1A has a residual heat indicator, which shows when the glass surface is still hot after cooking. That is useful for safety and for short holding tasks, but the surface still needs care until it has cooled.
Q: Does this Bosch ceramic cooktop need professional electrical installation?
A: Yes. Bosch PKM875DP1A must be installed by a licensed electrician and is not a DIY install. That matters if you are replacing an older cooktop, because the electrical connection and existing cut-out should be discussed with your electrician.
