Bosch Microwave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very happy with the purchase of my new Bosch Microwave. It is easy to operate, has a sleek control panel, a very roomy interior and is super quiet. It is very deep which makes it a little difficult to reach the back wall for cleaning but this may be because of the height at which I had it installed.
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We seldom use the microwave, bought this in late 2019 (so out of warranty now, of course) and now we have sparks/arcing whenever we use it (finding out now this is a common problem with this model). I've owned many microwaves over the years and never had this issue. As others have said it's impossible to clean with the element at the top, positioning over the oven and heavy condensation. I would not buy this again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] to be honest, I was a little skeptical on this microwave because the door is a pull down. I just had to get used to it. It works great and is also streamlined and easy to use and understand. The little bell indicating time is great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The microwave is a little deep and it's a little hard to clean the rear panel. Also the alarm that goes off when your food is done needs to be a little louder and sound and beep several times before stopping. Hard of hearing people even with hearing aids have a hard time hearing it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great appliance! We bought 7 Bosch appliances when we remodeled our kitchen. Love our Installed Coffee Maker also!
besides the display being hard to see due to low illumination we didn't have any other issues. that is, until it stopped working after 1.5 yrs. the attached oven below still works fine. no power to the microwave though.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
