Here is what we have (in our near-PH).<div><br></div><div>cooktop: Bosch 36" induction cooktop. We bought the bosch for the looks and better timers. You can set a timer on each element separately and timer expiration turns off the element. Most other cooktops only have a single timer that doesn't control anything. The Thermador units are the same as the bosch but costs $1000 more (The manuals and features are nearly identical though the units look a bit different). We also bought the basic Bosch model....the higher end model has this sensing technology that we would never use.</div>
<div><br></div><div>condensing dryer and washer: Both bosch 24". Seems to work fine. They're small --- most US customers expect larger units. Dryer takes a long time (2 hours +) but that appears to be the nature of condensing dryers.</div>
