Microwave is arching
on February 11, 2026
Posted by: Warren
Have had this unit for 7 years and have replaced the wave plate 3 times. It keeps arching and now will have to replace the whole unit. When it works it works well, but very frustrated that the lack of longevity, given the price we paid.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Most owners appreciate this unit for everyday cooking, reheating, and defrosting — especially in kitchens where built-in appliances contribute to a cohesive, upscale look
I would recommend this to a friend!

Extremely Happy
on January 1, 2026
Posted by: TyRaq721
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had to replace our built in microwave so decided to replace both the microwave and oven. There are so many options out there but we ended up choosing the Bosch 500 Series. Of course we were nervous about this unit as we had a reliable unit for 20 years. The next day after install was Thanksgiving and wow, this unit blew away all my expectations. I was able to cook everything at one time which I could not do with my old unit. I then did all my Christmas baking 2 weeks later and wow, this made my job much easier to bake more sheets of cookies at one time. I am extremely happy with my choice of Bosch.

Impressive Experience
on December 1, 2025
Posted by: Tymo
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this unit right before thanksgiving as I had a 20 year GE unit go out and no part available. I was rather nervous and lost sleep for a few nights. The unit was delivered and installed the day before thanksgiving and it is beautiful. The day of Thanksgiving I roasted my turkey and as that was sitting I was able to bake 2 9x13 pans, 1 9x9 pan, 1 sheet pan of roasted potatos with room to spare. This oven has more space than my previous unit. The unit is quiet and gives me everything I can expect and more. The microwave is also quiet and heats/melts/defrosts perfectly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good but overpriced
on November 13, 2025
Posted by: Robb
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The microwave is part of an over/under stove combo. It looks great and works well. We recently had to replace the original microwave (5 years old) and wanted to keep the look. I thought 5 years wasn't a very impressive lifespan for a microwave. Also, as the middle of the road version (500 series), it was about 10x more expensive than a comparable countertop microwave.
