Having just refitted the kitchen, our old hob was a long way from modern!
We looked at lots - this one had a number of advantages.
It was black, it had cast iron pan supports, we really didn't need the wok burner but we had a good size nonetheless. We wanted controls up the side rather than across the bottom and it was a really good make.
I've had lots of Bosch products (still do, but they are all power tools in the garage!) so the fact that the hob was Bosch really added to the appeal.
The extra safety could be useful, fitting was easy, the price was exceptional and we have a good guarantee should anything go wrong - however I do not expect it !!
