Easy to use
on March 12, 2021
Posted by: Warming drawer ego
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very simple operating panel. The only annoying this is the 2 minutes of beeping when it goes off; there is no way to turn off this warning. We fondly call it the warming drawer's inflated sense of self-importance.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works well, but with a critical issue.
on June 19, 2019
Posted by: Poor Product
I have had this product and have been using it consistently for a few months now. First off, I love how this warming drawer looks. It’s sleek, clean, and looks great in my kitchen. The temperature settings are great. However, the opening and closing mechanism is horrible. You need to push it to open it, and most of the time, it does not open right away, and it takes a few pushes for it to pop open. The same thing happens when you try to close it- I need to push it in a few times until it actually stays closed. The mechanism feels extremely flimsy and it seems as if it is going to break every time I use it. I fear that it will break eventually, once the item is out of warranty, and then I will be stuck with a non-functioning warming drawer, or in other words, a waste of good money. I do not recommend this product.

Buyer beware

The sliding drawer stuck closed on first use and couldn't be opened. Since the power switch is inside the drawer, I removed power to the unit at the circuit breaker and eventually opened the drawer by repeatedly pushing it closed and then quickly pulling outward with a bit of force. Considering the bad reviews posted here (and elsewhere) by other Series 500 owners, it appears that this is a common problem in an appliance that isn't very sturdy. It's my opinion that the drawer-slide problem is a design flaw.

Sliding drawer issue
on August 22, 2019
Posted by: New to Bosch
The sliding drawer got stuck closed on first use and could not be opened. Since the power switch is behind the drawer, I removed power to the unit at the circuit breaker and eventually opened the drawer by repeatedly pushing it closed and then quickly pulling outward with some force. Given the bad reviews posted here (and elsewhere) by other Series 500 owners, this seems to be a common problem in a device that is not very robust. In my opinion, the drawer-slide problem is a design flaw.

Great Addition To Our Bosch Kitchen
on July 28, 2018
Posted by: RetiredinTX
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I decided that this was the extra that could be the most useful to us.
In reading reviews, I found that, if you can, these are best located near counter-height instead at the bottom of an oven stack (near the floor). Ours was used to help fill-in the cavity of another brand’s combo oven.
Warming drawer uses we have found are proofing bread, keeping earlier baked items warm while baking/broiling another dish, keeping meals warm for late arrivals and recipes that call for using warmed plates or bowls. We want to experiment tenting chateaubriand with this and are looking for more ideas.
This unit could use a removable sticker on the front that reads “Push Here To Open” for the novice installer. Our service provider appeared to follow procedures as he worked through the resulting issues and all have been resolved.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Strike/Latch Broken after 5 uses
on November 17, 2019
Posted by: Michael
We were able to use our Bosch warming Drawer five time before it broke. It has been sitting unused for over a year now. Looked at a friends, and the plastic latch in the back is flimsy to say the least.
So we now are the proud owners of an useless piece of stainless steel.

All the rest of our Bosch appliances are still working well though.
Just do not buy a warming drawer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This warming drawer is a perfect addition to our oven, keeping food and even dishes warm prior to serving.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hot food served hot. No more hassles in timing food to be done at the same time for family meals and holidays.
