Best Microwave Ever
on January 24, 2021
Posted by: Best Built-In!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While a smaller cavity than some may want, this unit does an awesome job. Easy to use and very smooth hinges and latch. Thankful we convinced our builder that it could be installed in our cabinet choice. A great alternative to the common over the range or even countertop unit!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We looked for 2 years for a replacement microwave that would fit our built in space and Bosch came throught with this great product!
More money than we needed to spend on a microwave but we had no choice and so far so good!

It doesn't let you know when it's DONE!

If there is a "ding" to announce that cooking is done, I don't hear it unless I have my ear to the mircowave, and then the fan usually drowns it out. Big flaw in my opinion. Cooks fine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love this microwave!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave opens like an oven - no more door to the left or right. I love the digital display and auto cook options.

Amazing look and decent performance but ...
on November 29, 2020
Posted by: Hoomanhr3
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We did a major renovation a few months ago, and that was when we upgraded all of our appliances to Bosch appliances. We went with this make and model to match it with our 30" Bosch wall-in oven. The microwave has decent performance but could certainly be improved on a couple of aspects.
1) The microwave goes into the energy-saving mode, and the display is dimmed. The problem is that it dims to a level that you cannot see the digital clock on the display anymore. Unfortunately, there is no option in the menu to disable the energy-saving mode of the microwave.
2) For a unit of this size and price range, I was expecting an energy output of more than 950 Watts. Some small standalone microwaves' output energy is more than that.

Cooks fine, but display is disappointing
on November 27, 2020
Posted by: PWboise
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use. A bit deep to clean the back, but that can be seen as a plus for interior capacity. To save myself, I cannot get the display to stay on bright, cannot see the time at all during the it is so dim. Also bummed about being able to set the timer for only short times. It looks sophisticated
I would recommend this to a friend!
