Advanced Features seem like a gimmick

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall the microwave is fine but a lot of the advanced features seem like gimmicks and don't really work. For example, the "sensor reheat" will make the cheese on your piece of pizza boil. Not exactly the ideal temperature to eat if you like to keep your taste buds.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

numbers are small and difficult to see. The clock is almost impossible to see and the the timer is so quiet that unless you are right next to it you don't know when your food is done.

The control panel was replaced because it was dark and barely visible at best if you stood right in front of panel to operate. The control panel was replaced and viewing is better, but is not as visible as the oven panel light. If the kitchen is bright during the day, it is much harder to view.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just received this new microwave and found that it is much quieter than the previous one. The controls are also intuitive and easy to use. I like the features they have added like "melt" and setting power levvel is easy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that it is easy to use. The fold down door is a plus for me. It is very quiet when is use. I love it.
We moved into a house with a newly remodeled kitchen. We were excited about having Bosch appliances as we had heard good things about them. One month after moving in, the microwave (only 13 months old, and only in use for approx 6 months) started sparking. Our home warranty covered the repair cost to install a new capacitor. A year later the microwave started sparking again and we contacted a Bosch certified repair person. This time the magnatron, diode and capacitor again need to be replaced. This repair costs approximately half of what the microwave is worth. In addition, the display screen is not working properly as it is very difficult to read. Super disappointing as we either have to fix it or replace the unit.
