Every two - three months we have to replace the wave plate on top inside. It is 2-3 years old built 2016. Looking to replace it with another brand. Expensive lesson.
Not a fan. The door should open to the left not down. It is very hard to get inside to clean or even put or get things out because of the way the door opens. Also I don't understand when I cook something that is frozen why it steams up inside. I have owned several microwaves and none have ever done this. I would not be interested in buying another Bosch appliance.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a stylish and sleek microwave which coordinates nicely with the other Bosch appliances installed with my kitchen renovation a couple of months ago. I have been very pleased with it. It does exactly what I expect of it with no surprises. The controls are intuitive. I was expecting the stainless steel interior to take a bit more vigilance in keeping clean than my old white-lined model, but I have not really noticed that so far. I would prefer a side-opening door for easier access although I am getting used to the bottom opening.
