Impressive

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I really appreciate the fact that this unit works so well as a convention oven. I’ve been using it for mini pizza, baked potatoes and anything else small. Nice that the microwave turn table and plate doesn’t have to be removed when used as an oven. The buttons are all intuitive, so easy to understand operation. I like the function of the sensor feature—-it works well. The only thing I wish for is the ability to turn on the oven light when used as a convention oven—-can’t do that.

Barely a year old and. Crashed again
on February 7, 2019
Posted by: Donna
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so frustrated, installed this a little over a year ago, and it just stopped, cooled off, started again, then nothing. Appliance place came out, said control panel. A month of waiting and they installed new control panel. Technician said there was a loose wire, that probably caused the short in the control board.
Here we are a couple weeks later, and it stopped again. Another service call, and we shall see. I paid a lot for this speed oven. The salesman said it was the best.....not sure. I love Bosch, and have many of their appliances. Not so sure now

Beautiful, works well, quirky -not recommended
on January 13, 2019
Posted by: BigA
Recently purchased product, looks beautiful, microwave and oven work well, temperature maintenance seems to be precise.
It has a quirk.
When using the microwave it chimes when finished - this is great. However, when opening and closing the door to remove the microwaved item, the chime will continue chiming until you press the clear button.
Maybe you think this is a small problem, but it is an annoyance every time you use the microwave. Every microwave I have used in my life has turned off its reminder chime upon opening and closing the door after its done. This is a clear violation of good user design as Bosch is now 're-teaching' me how to use a microwave after 40 years of life.
For the design to be acceptable to a product engineer or marketer is unforgivable.
I don't recommend the appliance for this flaw even though it does work well and looks great.

Love the flexibility.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All my Bosch appliances were installed two weeks before Thanksgiving. The speed oven was just perfect. A perfect size for those extras that come with a big dinner event as well as the flexibility to warm, microwave, or cook something not requiring a large oven. My cabinet installer worked with the Bosch appliances I selected and loved designing around them. He has since referred them to other customers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is so much this can do. But make sure you read the manual to make sure you use all the functions. I can be a warming draw too!

GREAT FEATURES EASY TO USE
on March 16, 2018

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are doing a kitchen remodel and selected Bosch appliances. Our Oven is fantastic and everything it is cracked up to be.
Sorry only one complaint. The tone of the timer and button beeper is so quiet it can't be heard. Wish it were lourder.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We have had our Bosch speed oven for a few weeks and we think it's just great! So easy to use with the pre-programmed menus which make it very convenient.
I would recommend this to a friend!
