Performs Well, Looks Great
on May 2, 2025
Posted by: Miles
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It ended up being a bit of a surprise how many valuable features this range has and how nice it looks. There are a few things that it might be missing, but overall this does a really solid job, especially for it being "only" a 100 series. It feels like Bosch was more concerned with performing the most important tasks correctly while still looking good, instead of focusing on adding every bell and whistle but underperforming.
I immediately loved how understated and clean the range looked between our cabinets. We have an 800 series microwave installed directly above the range, and I was very happy to see that the design is plenty similar such that nothing looked odd between them. The front controls look really nice versus the rear controls that I'm used to, and having more of the wall visible was a bit odd at first, but it grew on me quickly. At some point we will probably install some backsplash to make it feel less naked and to protect the wall.
The range came with all of the main oven features that we care about: convection bake/roast, rapid pre-heat, proofing, and air-fry modes. We primarily use the rapid pre-heat and convection baking, and they seem to do a very good job. It's also more than spacious enough for anything we expect to use it for. My only complaint in regards to the oven is that the device's cooling fan is a bit loud. This range also does not have a warming drawer, but it's not really something we use so we don't miss it.
We use the cooktop significantly more than the oven, and we're overall pretty happy with the performance of the cooktop. We actually enjoy the front-mounted control knobs, which are a lot easier and quicker to tune than the buttons on our old unit. Not having to reach over the hot food to make adjustments was a welcome change that we never thought about. The available power from the 4 main burners seems sufficient, though a little more power would always be welcome. The burners also have no adjustable sizes, which was a bit disappointing to realize. There has been a bit of a learning curve in rearranging items on the cooktop to best utilize the correct size of burner.
The control interface has enough settings that we don't feel like we're missing anything, but is simple enough that we didn't struggle learning to use it whatsoever. We're all pretty tall, so the angle of the display and controls is a bit low for us, but it hasn't been too bad. Overall the design and interface is really nice. A small complaint I have would be that certain sections of the metal sheets get a little bit warped; a slightly thicker gauge of metal would be welcome, but I understand it's a tradeoff for the price. It's not very noticeable, so it's certainly not a dealbreaker.
Overall, we quite enjoy this range and are impressed with the design and features for the price point. I would easily recommend this unit for anyone that is price-conscious but doesn't want to make compromises in quality and performance.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome range

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This range is awesome. I love everything about it. It simmers delicate recipes, boils very quickly and preheats the oven fast. So far I am very happy with the range and love cooking.

HEF1050MU
on August 12, 2025
Posted by: Mil B
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We now have an all Bosch appliance kitchen with the recent purchase of the HEF1050MU electric range. When shoping for a new range I was surprised that the 100 series had so much to offer for the price. We have only had the new range for a little over one month, but so far it has performed perfectly. The only minor complaint, and it has been identified in other reviews, is the oven timer is not very loud. Even though the oven does turn off when it the programmed baking cycle is complete, the well insulated oven holds the heat so missing the timer could add minutes to baking cycle.
With that said, I would strongly reccommend the purchasing of the 100 series for those in the market to purchase a new electric range. The many features along with durability it offers should be anyone's first choice.

Could have been better
on August 18, 2025
Posted by: Matt
First let me say Bosch doesn't even offer a gap filler kit. The preheat and timer sound is barely audible. I don't know what they were thinking. Not sure how I am supposed to hear when the timer and the range has finished preheating. They also cheaper out on the top burners. They could have made one a duel burner, but decided not too. Had I known about how low the sound of the timer and preheat would have been, I wouldn't have purchased this range. My old kitchenaide that we replaced after 23 years cooked a lot quicker.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love it!!
on August 19, 2025
Posted by: Ani S
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works and looks great!! I love the automatic fan that it provides when cooking avoiding over heating. My main concern when looking into purchasing a new range was making sure knobs needed to be pushed in to turn on as a precaution and this range provided that feature.
