[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got my oven a week ago and absolutely love it. Love the side swing door, makes it easy to get thing in and out.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I just remodeled our kitchen. We wanted an oven that would be easy to access instead of having to bend down low to pull out the rack. This oven is the best. I can easily open the door and pull the rack out at the right height. It is quiet even with the fan going. It has a fast preheat feature that I use all the time. We are so happy that we chose this swing door Bosch oven.
There is a major design flaw with this oven if mounted under your cook top. The oven is great otherwise, but the control panel is too sensitive and while you are standing at the cook top you will turn off the oven, the light on, or switch cooking options without even knowing. Even the child proofing feature can, and does get turned off. I tried for 11 months to get used to it, and the second turkey that didn't get cooked on time at the holidays should have been enough. But when it switched from baking my cookies to a broil feature, I lost it and cried.
We installed this oven under the Bosch induction cooktop. The oven itself operates properly, but the touch panel is so sensitive that it is activated with the slightest touch of a finger, or even clothes brushing against the panel with the slightest pressure. We find that the oven light is activated unintentionally and the oven, when in the baking mode, will shut off when walking too close. This model was recommended to us as an under mount to our cooktop. It should never be considered for anything other than a wall oven.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We chose this oven because of the side open door made access for an under counter oven easier than a pull down door and have not been disappointed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 18 year old oven decided to burn my batch of cookies so I decided it was time for a new one. After researching many ovens, I chose the Bosch side door wall oven and ordered it from our dealer. It arrived several weeks later and I couldn't wait to try it out. My first attempt was a loaf of Italian bread one Thursday pasta night and was I surprised. Instead of baking a flat loaf, my bread came out 8" high and crusty in new oven. My hubby said "what happened?"
After the bread I did make a new batch of cookies using the convection bake cycle and they came out beautiful. A roasted chicken was my 3rd use - delicious.
The oven is simple to program and keep clean. I love the telescopic shelf on the bottom - makes is very easy to baste poultry without making a mess on the door. I still find myself reaching up to pull the handle down on the door - new door opens like a microwave - great styling.
Can't wait to try more recipes, I love to cook & bake - I don't know how I lived so long without this oven.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this oven for our new home and have been using it for the past month. We LOVE the fact that the door swings to the left, versus dropping down. Heat is very evenly distributed and the locking rack is a great feature! Best oven we have ever had!!
