Not entirely user friendly
on November 4, 2024
Posted by: Chef1
The cooktop, which I care about most, works well enough, but there are other major design flaws with this range make this range less easy to use than it should be. Sadly, this seems to be consistent with my general experience with other BSH Home appliances (including the far worse Thermador dual fuel range which this replaced, which was designed exclusively for looks, not functionality). Oddly, the oven has no self-cleaning function, which is standard for ranges from most other manufacturers. The most limiting function is the use of early 1990s-era user unfriendly digital displays that make users first waste time trying to interpret and translate readouts into real words (yes, 30+ year old technology). The oven knob has tiny illegible print shaded under the cooktop overhang, with no corresponding digital readout, making it difficult to see settings. Once again, too much focus on form rather than function by this BSH brand appliance. There is no reason they shouldn't focus on both form and function, especially for something in this price range. Digital displays desperately need to be updated to 21st Century technology.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Induction Stove
on November 5, 2024
Posted by: Emily
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this stove a couple of months ago and it has been great so far. The induction cooktop is speedy and efficient. The oven has a lot of options but overall i love the simplicity of both the features/functions as well as the design.

Wonderful range
on November 6, 2024
Posted by: Lisa
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The beauty & efficiency outweigh the small problems 1. The words on the dials are very hard to read, especially for the oven dial. 2. The sound of the oven at the end of the preheating is not loud enough

A wonder to use
on November 7, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve given my gas range a workout over the years and my new Bosch range is better. The flat top has no rubber edges to catch good bits in. The induction is responsive and hot. The butter chocolate setting is perfect. The oven is great.

Have only had my new range for a couple weeks. Love the induction. Oven seems to hold the temperature well and convection is great

All form, poor function
on November 17, 2024
Posted by: Kitchen precision diva
This range was clearly designed to look pretty, but not be user friendly. The oven has no calibration function and is at least 15 degrees F off, requiring manual adjustments with every use to ensure accuracy. It also beeps nearly inaudibly when theoretically finished reheating, even though the oven temp is still 40 degrees F away from the input temperature. The knob controls are illegible and don't display on the digital display that was obviously designed more than 30 years ago and never brought into the 21st century. And heaven knows why hot pots stick to the cooktop (never happened on my prior German built model from a competitor). BSH desperately needs to pay more attention to accuracy and user functionality.

Induction Great
on December 2, 2024
Posted by: RFLO
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the induction burners. Fast after you figure learning curve! I WISH SMALL BURNERS IN FRONT & LARGE BURNERS TO BACK!!! Oven selection knob writing is small & hard to read. Otherwise oven works as expected.

HIS8055U Range with Induction Cooktop
on December 6, 2024
Posted by: Caroline H.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased this range with an induction cooktop. The high-quality build and sleek design immediately caught my eye, but the performance has been the true star of the show.
The induction cooktop is incredibly responsive, heating up quickly and allowing for precise temperature control, which has made cooking an absolute joy. Cleanup is also a breeze since the cooktop surface doesn’t retain heat, preventing spills from burning on.
The oven is equally impressive, offering even heat distribution and various settings that cater to everything from baking to roasting. The controls are intuitive, and the overall functionality makes cooking feel effortless and enjoyable.
This appliance has elevated my cooking experience, combining modern technology with reliable performance. I highly recommend the HIS8055U range to anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen and make cooking more delightful. Disclaimer: I previously had a Thermador range with an induction cooktop, and this model does not fall short in comparison. It matches the performance I was accustomed to.
I would recommend this to a friend!
