[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the oven-door syle pull down door rather than the swing door of other microwaves. I has good capacity and lots of smart functions to simplify cooking.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] we have slowely been replacing all our appliances with bosch. we have truely been happy with everything. form/function/quality all marks are hit. so, what is the one flaw? The clock, really that's it, the clock of all things. It has been set to dim after a few seconds/minutes to a level so low that it is unreadable. we have changed the clock brightness setting to max but it still auto dims and i know i can just swivel my head and look at another clock, but that would through off my whole routine lol. so if anyone from bosch is reading. help an old dog that can't learn new tricks by fixing the clock... but i guess that won't do me any good.. how about you give me an updated mainboard and a tech to swap it out and we'll call it even. I'll even give you that last star!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just installed this product. Looks great, have other Bosch products ( which I love)... very dim/ no light on in display panel . Awaiting a service call... ugh! Hope to fix this problem ( apparently I'm not alone!). A bit disappointed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been very impressed with this microwave. It is easy to use. I have used the sensor settings and have been impressed how well they work. I wish the oven game in black stainless to match my other appliances but it still looks great with them.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ths 500 series microwave is outstanding and is a mjor uopgrade over the old built Whirlpool model we replaced. It is better in every way. We appreciate the quality and the simpicity of the controls. We are happy with our purchase.
I am very happy with my Bosch Microwave. Wish the clock would stay on constantly, but there may be a setting to keep it bright that I'm not aware of. My builder installed it too close to my frige, so the frige needs to be closed to open the Microwave, but all else is great!
When we built our home 2 1/2 years ago we chose Bosch appliances for our kitchen because it was a higher end brand and had high hopes for its performance. Unfortunately just after 2 1/2 years the hinges on this built in microwave convection oven broke and the warranty is only good for one year. Also it is extremely difficult to clean because of the heating element at the top of the oven. I wish it was removable because food splatters get stuck up there and it is extremely difficult to clean in between the heating element and the top of the microwave.
