Nice Looking, Quiet, Solid, Works
on December 14, 2017

We like our speed oven. It looks great, has a solid feel to it, and gets the job done in all operating modes. The user manual is easy to follow. However...
Problem #1 -- This appliance has a VERY WEAK alert sound even when MAX volume has been selected. This makes the Speed Oven’s time functions useless and requires a separate kitchen timer. Less expensive microwaves have pleasant, loud alerts and will even sound a delay reminder if food is left too long in the microwave after completion of a heat cycle. Bosch does not offer this feature.
Problem #2 -- The installation manual could be improved by illustrating the attached outlet plug and offering an example of what an appropriate 20-amp receptacle should look like that will accept Bosch's VERY UNUSUAL plug. I completely understand why Bosh supplied their unique 20-amp plug but I for one have never seen a plug like that even though, as it turned out, my receptacle accept such a unique plug.
Problem #3 – Bosch does NOT offer a 27” matching drawer. They only offer a warming oven. This forces customers to either upscale to a warming oven they don’t need or put up with mismatched cabinets. Since I needed to fit the speed oven into an existing 27" opening, I did not have the flexibility to simply specify a 30" cabinet on a new installation.
I would recommend this to a friend!

ALL GOOD BUT 1 SMALL NIT

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use. Quiet. The alert beep is too quiet and support will be out soon to check on that. Love using it otherwise and service is excellent. Have not tried convection cooking in it yet, but my neighbor who has the same unit says she never has to use her standard sized oven any more. In our installation, it is a little bit high and only my husband can clean the inside, but that's a good thing!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Beautiful and Efficient

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the oven and the microwave and together you can't have a better kitchen for cooking gourmet meals that will make you a star even with leftovers. The ovens are quiet and the food comes out golden brown, evenly cooked and faster than any oven I have ever had. I can't say enough about how extremely pleased I am with my choice. The beauty of the stainless steel enhances the look of my kitchen as well. Easy to clean and keep shiny!

Beautiful, but not without it's Flaws

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had this Speed Oven installed a week ago. After the first use, discovered a grayish film over the 1/4 right lower corner of the viewing window. Not on the outside or on the inside of the window, but between them. Called Bosch, who had never heard of the issue before, and my local appliance retailer. Have a repairman scheduled for tomorrow to see the problem. Hopefully, this issue can be resolved without further delay.
Instructions take several read-throughs to distinguish what utensils are appropriate for specific cooking methods. Operation relatively quiet.
