[quote=jpinpb]OMG! Well, I did research the different Bosch models and I knew that any of the SHE models were no good. They did have them in the outlet and they did look bad, cheaper, flimsy and overall lesser quality than the higher end models. Almost like people were buying the lower end quality just b/c it was Bosch expecting it to be as good as the top of the line models.

You can pick pretty much any model of any mfr and read horror stories online.

Our SHE model has been excellent so far and we’re glad we didn’t shell out any additional $$ as it would have been for nothing – the one we’ve purchased does everything we want. Besides, don’t the higher end units have the controls on the lip? We didn’t want that.

We went Viking for cooking and some of the reviews online almost convinced me not to do that. There were some really nasty things said online. But it was the only model with the BTUs my wife wanted in a six burner configuration so we bought it anyway. And you know what? Not a single problem. It has worked flawlessly and my wife couldn’ be happier.

The internet is great and all, but it sometimes feels like only the whiners get online to say anything which skews people’s impressions of products.
