[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loving the microwave but find the timer is not loud enough at all. You really need to be in the same room to hear it go off.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Besides looking pretty, is a great addition to have a second oven and a microwave. Would like the microwave end of cycle alarm, louder.
This unit certainly looks good. Sadly, that is the only good thing about this unit. It is just 26 months old. Ours failed 3 times under warranty and 2 times out of warranty and we paid to have it repaired both times out of warranty. Our local appliance store sold us on the quality, but that was not the case with us. The first failure was just 1 month after it was installed - that should have been a red flag. 5 Failures in 26 months is just plain poor quality - Bosch, fix your quality and stand behind your product. We spent a lot of money with all the Bosch appliances with our remodeled Kitchen. Unfortunately, we greatly regret it.
The Kitchen Timer Alarm Tone is set on HI, but it's so quiet that we can only hear it if we are standing next to the microwave. And it only goes off once & does not repeat. Very disappointed.

Terrible quality for an appliance of this price. Both door springs and the control display broken a month after warranty expired. Do yourself a favor and avoid this product.
I will say we did the rest of our kitchen in Bosch appliances and all other products are working well after around 4 years. They should have recalled/replaced this product - just look online at all the issues this thing has. Because of it I've personally persuaded 3 other families who were doing kitchen remodels to avoid their products - alot more costly for Bosch than if they'd just replaced the shoddy oven.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this product, along with the wall oven, refrigerator, cooktop, and diswasher. Unfortunately the display went out after just two years. Now I have to "guess" my inputs in order to operate the unit. After some research, it appears that most customers experience the same issue. I am very disappointed in the quality of this unit.
So far very pleased with it. Would have preferred that the door opens like other microwave oven but am getting used to it. Also on our old micro/convection we could put in a time when using convection and the oven would stop automatically when the time expired. This is one thing I miss. Otherwise it is a great oven.
