My first convection oven.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always wanted a convection/microwave and now I have one. I hadn't thought about splatters from the microwave getting burnt on the interior when the convection baking is on. It is something I now am aware of. I put my microwave over the oven and with the door hinging on the bottom, I have problems getting in and our of this appliance. My husband is taller than I so it's not a problem for him. It's great for his 3 biscuits in the mornings.
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I've had this speed oven for 2 years and love it! It has so many settings and they are so easy to use. It can be a bit difficult to clean though because the heating element is visible.
Started having issues just out of warranty and after only 2 years of ownership, it's had 8 repair visits, over $500 in repairs, and still not functioning. Now the repairman wants another $450 to repair. Unfortunate and will not buy from Bosch again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this is faster than our previous older microwave. It is easier to dial in a cook time and start it quickly. The auto defrost tends to overheat the food item's outer layer in my experience. The included instruction manual is worth paying attention to..
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had this unit for several weeks now and really like the look and the operation of the oven. It has some great features and we still have a lot to learn about it. I also purchased a 27" wall oven to go with the speed oven.
My wife didn't want me to buy a speed oven; she wanted only a microwave. I convinced her since we didn't have space for two full wall ovens. Last night she told me told she loves the oven; and I like it very much, too. There are times I wish that the oven could bake without the convection fans: the oven would be great for baking small items. Apart from that, I have no complaints. It is necessary to read the instructions when first using it because of the features. Been using it for three months: so far, no problems.
