Microwave/Oven
on June 25, 2023
Posted by: Margo
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new microwave/oven
I have some new options that I didn't have before
Example for the micowave it has a warming option which I never had before and I'm loving it
The only thing I do not like is the door you pull down and I'm short so I cannot reach the back of it to keep it clean
Which may be a plus because my husband will have to do that chore
So all in all using both on a regular basis

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Performs extremely well. Interior is well lit and surprinsingly roomie. Handles fairly large platter without needing to turn off turn table. Excellent companion for my Bosch wall oven.

Happy With Our New Bosch Microwave Oven
on August 23, 2023
Posted by: California Customer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I are pleased with our new Bosch 500 Series Built-In Microwave Oven, model HMB50152UC/08. We have used the appliance multiple times per day for five weeks. Based on our experiences thus far, we would recommend this appliance to others. The heating modes and features we have used are easy to understand and produce satisfactory results.
This is the first built-in (i.e., purposely designed to be installed inside a kitchen cabinet) microwave we have owned. Our previous two microwaves were countertop models mounted inside our kitchen cabinet using trim kits. We find the new Bosch microwave operates significantly quieter than the model it replaced. (Our Bosch also cost much more, so we expected this improvement.)
Overall, we are happy with the product; however, we offer these suggestions for future improvements:
1. We find Sensor Reheat mode convenient, and we use it frequently; however, this mode nearly always overheats our food. The performance is consistent across a variety of food types and quantities. We are more pleased with the results if we manually stop the microwave when the countdown timer reaches 30 seconds. We recommend a user-adjustable countdown timer ... if the microwave had this feature, we would reduce the Sensor Reheat countdown length by 30 seconds.
2. The end-of-cycle sound is quite weak and difficult to hear. Our appliance's VOLUME is set to HI (the default). We recommend a louder volume. Other reviewers have also made this comment.
3. Many reviewers complain their Bosch microwave failed after three or fewer years; those examples are unfortunate. We believe a customer should expect an appliance in this price range will operate trouble-free for many years. We hope for durability from our new Bosch microwave oven.

Nice microwave
on September 25, 2023
Posted by: jkfjkf
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cooks, heats, thaws as it should. Easy to clean. Food comes out more evenly hot that any previous microwave we have owned/used. Love the pull down door vs swing door, since all microwaves swing one way and it's the wrong way for our kitchen layout.
I would recommend this to a friend!

microwave
on November 11, 2023
Posted by: Cindy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It works well. I would suggest there is a way to make the display brighter.
And the plastic plate holder under the glass doesn't seem to quite deep enough. It's constantly getting displaced.
It is a very nice looking appliance
