Replacement microwave
on November 13, 2025
Posted by: Hayden
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a Sharp built-in microwave that stopped working and needed to be repalced. With the help of Julie Causgrove at C&D Appliance Studio we chose the Bosch. It was a perfect fit for our cabinet

Beautiful and Powerful
on October 3, 2025
Posted by: R. Pretty
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Every function of this beautifully crafted microwave oven is exceptional. The "sensor reheat" works like a charm. The "melt butter" works perfectly but in small amounts at a time; I have to run it a couple of times for larger portions. The quiet door is beautiful and QUIET. The only thing I have not figured out is how to keep the time displayed. Not sure if it is an energy saver option or not.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Do Not Buy - Already Failing
on September 26, 2025
Posted by: David B
We are long-time Bosch kitchen brand users and have had only positve expereince - up until now. After only 1 year of household use, was already dangerously shorting out/arcing. Have replaced the WaveGuide Cover 3 times. Now, only 2 years later and out of warrantee, forced to replace the magnetron. Too bad it is tied to the awesome oven, below.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Never buy this Microwave
on August 29, 2025
Posted by: Dev3
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Apparently this microwave is plugged into the oven below which is an inherent design flaw as there is a fuse in the oven for it which keeps blowing up. To rectify it the whole microwave and oven combo has to be taken out of the cabinet and then separated from each other to access the fuse panel. The fuse just fails every few months. So the whole ordeal has to be repeated and it takes weeks to rectify because "parts" are never in stock. As per the company the door switches in this microwave cause it but the issue is how this combo is designed. So buyer beware. If you want to buy this then it is recommended to buy a backup kitchen counter microwave too for the times it will keep failing as we have done.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

BOSCH Microwave & Oven
on August 23, 2025
Posted by: Yasmin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the heating and cooling period. Most of all, I LOVE that my 3 year old can stand behind the oven and watch the cookies bake without burning her hand. Great oven, great microwave, great amount of space and it fitted beautifully in the space we had without us having to make any adjustments with a carpenter.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love it!
on July 30, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with the operation, appearance, and functionality of my new BOSCH Built-In Microwave. The only thing that was disappointing was the built in energy efficient clock. The clock turns off after a couple of minutes. I wish there was a way to have my clock on at all times as that is the clock I used to use the most with my other microwave. Eye level for me! Other than that, it has proven to be a good microwave so far.

Good; not great
on July 21, 2025
Posted by: Nick
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave suffers from what many other fail to do ... backlit buttons. Are the Bosch folks never up after sunset ? Otherwise it's fine. Too many buttons/features I'll never use. Overpriced Buttons not suitable for diabetics. I guess I won't win the prize??
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
