Side Swing Doors are Great!
on January 18, 2025
Posted by: Steve
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These ovens work exceptionally well. They are well calibrated and hold temperatures in a tight range. They have every program option you could ever want and the settings are very intuitive. The side swing doors are an especially valuable feature, particularly for us "senior" citizens...no more burning yourself removing hot pots and pans!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Overall - One glitch being repaired
on January 23, 2025
Posted by: Gresch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the unit. Bosch is sending a repair person for the upper oven thermostat which does not show the preheated temp as being reached. Easy to get the warranty repair scheduled. The slide out shelf is great; we ordered another one as an aftermarket add on. The side opening doors are amazing.

Love the doors
on January 29, 2025
Posted by: Sir Bake-a-lot
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this to replace our 18 year old Bosch 500 series double wall oven, which had developed heating issues. It fit perfectly into the existing cabinet, which had been custom made for the old one.
We have been using the new double oven for about a month.
The upper oven is perfectly calibrated at 200, 350, 400 and 450. The lower oven is 15 degrees cool at 200 and 350, but spot on at 400 and 450. The ovens distribute heat fairly evenly in bake mode, and perfectly in convection mode. We have not used the other available modes, nor the cleaning modes.
I read almost every available review of this oven before purchase. Several complained of the loud fan noise during operation. The fans are louder than with the old Bosch, however these are used to cool the space behind the cabinet as well as the electronics, and do blow internal oven heat and smells. They are not quiet like the old oven, but that cooling will extend the life of the ovens overall, so we are okay with it.
The oven lights do not operate independently, as they did in our old Bosch double oven.
The glide-out rack is wonderful, we wish it came with one for each oven.
The lower oven door is out of plumbing with the top door, and while the doors have adjustments, this cannot be corrected due to the weakly attached lower latch being set 3/16" too low. Similar or worse issues were notec in other reviews.
Also, the pads that the doors close against pop off.
But the side-swing doors are a great feature, and overall the ovens perform very well. So, all tallied up, I am giving 4 stars. I am going to say we'll worth the money, but we only paid half price due to Black Friday event at our local Lowe's (whom we highly recommend).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hmmm.......
on February 17, 2025
Posted by: Chris
Beautiful units. Door adjustment to level them both out to horizontal limits the vetical alligment on both doors, top to bottom lines. Fan is excessivley noisy. Whinney sounds of 56 to 72 decibels constantly when on convectition back. Fan on top unit blows are smack into your face...what gives with that. Very poor design. Not what I would call good German engineering. Very poor acutally. Nice to look at if you can overlook the fact that the doors will not align top to bottom and side to side with oven cabinet. Dosent seem that the entire unit is square.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

GREAT OVEN
on April 24, 2025
Posted by: OVEN USER
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] WE PURCHASED THE OVEN BECAUSE OF THE SIDE OPEN DOORS. THIS IS A MARVALOUS OPTION. IT MAKES GETTING THINGS IN AN OUT OF THE OVENS SAFE AND CONVENIENT. OVENS WORK GREAT . APPEAREARENCE IS SIMPLE AND TIMELESS. ONLY COMPLANT IS THE COOLING FAN IS ALITTLE LOUD.

Fabulous Oven
on April 27, 2025
Posted by: Eve36
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The double wall oven is fabulous. It is sleek, modern and fits with any decor. The controls are very easy to use. The oven heats quickly and evenly. The upper and lower ovens both heat at the same rate - quick and even. My food comes out beautifully. Ours opens with a side pull like a cabinet would. I love that feature because I don't have to bend and reach. This is by far the best oven we have ever had.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Benchmark Double Wall Oven
on May 22, 2025
Posted by: Barbara
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my new oven....the side opening door is a life changer!
So much easier to step up to the oven and stand in front of it, without reaching forward at an awkward angle to put things in or take out. So far my one complaint is the beep for the oven timer is so low I can't hear it if I'm not in the kitchen. There may be a way to increase the volume but I haven't found it yet. Other than that, this oven is super-duper!!

Great uniform heat
on June 8, 2025
Posted by: Great for short people
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just purchased a Bosch double wall oven with doors that are hinged on the right. Both my wife and I are small and this type of door is much safer for us to use. We also noticed that the convection bake setting seems to provide a very uniform heat to all places in the oven. We used to get a pizza and it would be very brown on the crust around the rim but the crust on the bottom - near the middle - was not fully cooked. In our new Bosch oven it was cooked to the same level all throughout the pizza.
