[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use, heats up food quickly and to temperature. Very please with all of our Bosch products so far!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are remodeling our kitchen and after reading reviews we went with a suite of Bosch appliances. We haven't used the speed oven yet but we love the size and the appearance. We also got their side door full size oven which is the perfect design.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm absolutely delighted with my new Bosch Benchmark 800 Series Convection Microwave—it's a sleek, high-performance powerhouse that has revolutionized our kitchen multitasking! With a generous 1.6 cu. ft. capacity and 1,100 watts of power, it effortlessly handles everything from defrosting large roasts to baking crispy pizzas or reheating delicate meals without drying them out, thanks to the genuine European convection fan for even, golden results. The stunning stainless steel finish with anti-fingerprint coating keeps it looking pristine amid daily use, and the intuitive TFT touch display offers smart sensors for automatic adjustments, plus 12 specialized cooking modes like pizza and proofing that deliver pro-level precision every time. I love the built-in flush installation for a seamless cabinet look, the soft-close door that operates whisper-quietly. Fast preheat, energy-efficient operation, and easy-to-clean interior makes it a joy, blending German engineering reliability with luxury convenience; this microwave exceeds all expectations and has become indispensable for quick family meals or entertaining!
I put this in to a purpose built STR for our guests. I'm glad we also have a great bbq for an option as this does eventually will heat up to 350 F but it is labourously slow and not great for our guests who want to breakout that frozen pizza or baked appetizer. The bbq is a much more effective option. It was a good aesthetic solution but not a great option as standard oven might offer. BTU's matter!!
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Purchased in 2021, is well designed and has useful programs and functions. But also 2 major problems: The oven vents through openings below the door, so any finished surfaces below can be damaged by high exhaust heat. Also, the dispay has dimmed over time to the point it is almost unreadable under normal light conditions. I had registered the oven with Bosch, and was disappointed that I never heard that this was a known problem and could be remedied by BOSCH within a limited window after purchase.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This appliance has made it so easy for our household to cook a variety of things where it is as a microwave. The flexibility of having a microwave and a convection oven is a plus!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't think I've ever had an appliance that I've hated more than this oven. Some of the design aspects are simply inconcievable. I've burned my hand on the element numerous times because it isn't recessed into the upper part of the oven, and I have no idea why they would design an oven where the shelves don't pull out. The control panel is also unintuitive. You could do much better for the price.
