Bosch Induction Ranges At a Glance
Benchmark is Bosch's premium line.
The main difference between the two models is that the Benchmark has a FlexInduction zone and the 800 Series does not.
Also, the 800 Series is available in stainless and black stainless, while the Benchmark is available in stainless only.
You'll pay about $700 more for the Flex zone, but it's a very nice feature.
The ovens are almost identical, but the Benchmark has two oven lights instead of one. Both are Star K certified. (Star K is a kosher certification system.) Both have self-cleaning, 4.6 cu. ft. ovens with European convection and an 8 pass broiler system.
