(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Finally received my brand new stove after 8 months and mutple delays. Immediately after installing I received error messages E011 and the stove constantly pings “select Mode” message multiple times an hour all day/night. Waiting for service next week:(
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My stove came damaged but that is not the reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5. In general it is a very nice propane stove. I like that the oven heats up to temp really fast. I really like the sliding rack inside the oven as well. Everything seems easy to clean. The two burners in the back are a bit small but great for simmer. The discs pop off easy when cleaning the surface but easy to put back on. The writing on the digital interface is a bit small and it would have been nice if they made the words larger.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this because our previous NA range could not handle propane. Jimmy said this was better, which it is, sorta. The individual burners are not that good at adjusting the heat. But at least you can bank on the individual burners putting out their individual heat levels. So it goes with propane, but at least we can predict, Oven seems fine, haven't used the warmer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My roast chicken has never tasted so moist and delicious - so much room in such a small powerhouse. It's my Benchmark!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I want reliable appliances, my experiences with Bosch gives me confidence to choose Bosch once again in my new home. I can't think of another brand that I would choose.
Previously I had a Kitchen Aid base model gas range with the controls in the back. 4 burners and extra space in the oven are definite upgrades.
I will start with pros: In the oven, I've used broil, proof, bake, convection bake and convection roast. I am happy with all of them. Bosch claims excellent temperature control on the burners, which I can attest to. It's easier to clean than it looks. The streaks left by my dish rag are not very noticeable and I do not feel the need to polish every time. I love the push to open capability of the warming drawer. Cons: There is an incessant ringing coming from the control panel. Some times are louder than others. My previous oven made no sound at all. The range does not sit back up against the wall. There is about a 2 inch gap from the end of the range to the wall. The 3 racks that come in the oven are great but if you want to put something large like a roast in it, you will need to remove a rack (just a small inconvenience). Overall I would recommend this oven to someone else and I'm very happy with it. If the ringing went away I would give it 5 stars.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Doesn't everything well a advertised. Looks good, oven heats up relatively quickly. Low simmer is great on all burners. Cleans up easily.
