Rebirth of interest in the kitchen!
on August 14, 2015
Posted by: Peter Karen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok …. the title may be a little dramatic; but what would you say about a product that renewed your interest in cooking and rewarded you with great results? We selected our Bosch appliances based on reputation, style, and features. After several months of experience we have concluded that Bosch Benchmark are unequivocally the best of all the appliances we have experienced in 40 years of living in various homes, including one major kitchen remodel project. Benchmark has definitely exceeded our expectations! This double oven with side hinged doors is a good looking complement to the Bosch dishwasher we purchased for our recent "kitchen renewal" project. Both appliances were so intuitive and well engineered that we were able to operate the oven and the dishwasher perfectly 'out of the box', without reading any directions … amazing! Even better were the special and innovative features and advice we discovered after finally getting around to reading the manual. As examples, the "pizza" setting and using a stone (and flour from Italy!) produces the best pizza ever due to excellent temperature control up to 550F; the 'convection roast' setting produces vegetables that rival a gourmet bistro. In addition, we were considering a warming drawer, but the oven has a true 'warming' function that serves the need very well. The old recipes taste even better from the Bosch, and after using this oven we have decided that our former oven must have had poor temperature control and distribution, or perhaps was poor quality in spite of the premium brand name ….. it is quite remarkable how temperature control can affect the quality of the finished product. Finally, the side opening doors are an amazing convenience for loading and unloading and we have found that we actually use both ovens because the top unit is much more accessible than our former oven with pull down doors. The rebirth of interest in the kitchen has now extended to experimenting with new recipes and cooking techniques because we have confidence that the Bosch will deliver.
After the eating is done, the Bosch Benchmark dishwasher takes care of the dishes and utensils. This unit fits in the same space as our former dishwasher, but it seems to have a much larger capacity for all types of dishes and utensils. We thought the silverware tray was a silly gimmick, but after using this we would not give it up. We also appreciate the clean design and hidden controls that offer an excellent range of features and options for cleaning 'every day' as well as 'special' dishes. These comments would not be complete without a mention of the laser light shining on the floor to signal that the Bosch Benchmark dishwasher is operating …. the machine is so quiet that the operation light is almost a necessity to confirm that the machine is running.
Thank you Bosch! We are very happy with our new appliances and would recommend them without reservation. Please pass along these comments to the engineers who must labor tirelessly to achieve such a great product.

Double oven with side opening doors!
on December 19, 2017
Posted by: Sherry
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had to replace our double oven and discovered this oven with the side opening doors! When I saw it, I knew this was what I wanted. It is wonderful to not have to lean over the door to put a turkey in the oven! I have enjoyed the side door so much since getting the oven. I have a few things that I don’t particularly like about the oven but will live with! It vents out the front right at eye level. The fan runs continuously and is a bit loud. And the timers are not very easy to set and are not set in a very logical way. You can not set it without reading the book. I have resorted to using a separate timer!

Love Swing Door
on September 26, 2016
Posted by: Jantone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I realized Bosch had a swing door option on a double wall oven I knew I found the perfect appliance. I've had trouble taking heavy casseroles out of the top oven in my old wall ovens, reaching over a hot door. This new oven is fantastic, easy to operate and looks fantastic, I am 100% satisfied!

Love the side opening doors !
on January 21, 2016
Posted by: LNBJD
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I saw the side opening doors option - together with the double oven, I was sold. The ease of using this oven, compared to the standard drop open doors, is amazing. Especially during the holiday, placing the turkey and other large items in to bake, was a breeze. Unbelievable the number of items that fit all at one time ! It is pleasing to the eye - sleek and clean. Bosch is the bomb !!!

Questionable touch controls
on February 7, 2018
Posted by: Want2Bbaker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Installed this oven in our new construction home in August, 2016. Moved in to our home in March,2017. Everything worked great through Thanksgiving. Soon after I noticed that the touch pad for the lower oven, which I seldom use, is not responding. I have tried all the trouble shooting options with little success. Occasionally I can find the right combination, however it is very frustrating when I'd like to use it and I can't. I seem to be doing fine with the upper oven controls, so I'm assuming it is the lower oven button. Unfortunately, the one year from purchase warranty has passed, although we actually used it less than a year.

Love the dooring swinging left
on August 24, 2015
Posted by: Spacers07
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that the door on this oven swings left instead of opening downward. I am not tall and I always feel like I am going to get burned.

Great Feature
on June 2, 2016
Posted by: JLSH
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this double oven with cafe doors (along with warming drawer and induction cooktop). We just had everything installed in our new kitchen. My husband is in a wheelchair and for the first time he can get things in and out of the oven with ease. The cafe doors are so convienent for both of us!

Great Oven
on November 12, 2016
Posted by: S P
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this oven 11 months ago and love it. The side opening door makes it easy to get things in and out of both the top and bottom ovens. The convection and conventional settings have been a great help. I use this oven for baking and cooking at it works like a champ every time. The timer features are a little glitchy and could use a little work. You can't access both kitchen timers unless you actually turn one of the ovens on. Sometimes one of the timers will freeze when trying to reset the other timer. I would rate this oven somewhere between good and excellent because of the timer issues; otherwise I would rate it excellent.
