Bosch is an affordable luxury brand with prices typically at the top of the market (about $3000-$4000 for an induction range). Bosch appliances get consistently high customer satisfaction ratings. If you're in the market for an induction range, Bosch deserves a closer look. 

Bosch induction slide-in ranges come in two models: the 800 Series and the Benchmark. In this review, we'll compare features to help you understand the differences and decide which Bosch induction range best suits your needs.

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.
