Miss the old model!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a Bosch microwave I loved. I found the closest model, as they don't make the old one anymore. I much preferred the old one but this one is ok. It is smaller and does not offer 2 racks. It also has white lighting so it now does not match the red lights on my Bosch stove (like the old model did). It serves the purpose but I wish I had my old one!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to replace a 22 year old unit that finally failed. This 300 series unit has a modern look that goes well with our other stainless steel appliances. It heats quickly and evenly. The stovetop light is a huge improvement compared to our other unit. Installation was straightforward and went without any problems.

This was a replacement for our previous Bosch microwave, which had more advanced features that we didn't use or need. I would have given it a five but this model just wasn't the same quality. We only use a microwave to warm things up but was surprised that it sounds tinny (not as solid) when you open and close the door; the inside light is somewhat dull; and, when it starts the fan is louder then the other one we had. It also didn't reset the time when the electricity went out. Well, the other one didn't either, but I feel it should have. The design is nice, it has easy to use controls, and it's spacious. Although the issues I mentioned are not major ones the quality was disappointing for a high quality product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bosch 300 series over the range microwave does a fabulous job of heating up water for tea, which I do often, or frozen meals or defrosting frozen meat. It is an appliance that needs to be counted on and it does the job day in and day out. Love the handle versus a push button to open the door. That just cannot be beat. All functions are easy to use. Always love a microwave clock and timer. The basics are never not needed. Thank you...
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We replaced our 17 yo Bosch microwave with this new one. Not a lot of bells or whistles. But I wish it had the capability to stop the turn table to use a rectangle or square dish. It's fine for basic functions. The rest of our appliances are Bosch. So we wanted to keep the same uniformity. But after buying it and having it installed, I realized I would like the vegetable button, the ability to keep the turn tail from turning, and to silence the tone when it's complete.
