The NGM8659UC is Bosch’s 36 inch 800 Series gas cooktop with five sealed burners and 42,700 BTU. Thirty-six inch gas cooktops are heavy – the top, five burner assemblies and a full set of cast iron grates add up – and the two-person lift that installation needs is the same two-person lift a service call sometimes needs. It is worth mentioning because a homeowner who tries to lift one alone to clean underneath it usually ends up with a chipped countertop edge.
