Prepare large quantities of food quickly with this Bosch microwave oven. Its 1.6 cu. ft. capacity holds large dishes such as casseroles, and its nine-speed chef programs make heating favorite dishes fast and easy. The drop-down door on this 1000W Bosch microwave oven provides easy access, while convection cooking heats food evenly.

Nice looking, quiet, solid

We like our speed oven. It looks great, has a solid feel to it, and gets the job done in all operating modes. The user manual is easy to follow. However...
Problem #1 -- This appliance has a VERY WEAK alert sound even when MAX volume has been selected. This makes the Speed Oven's time functions useless and requires a separate kitchen timer. Less expensive microwaves have pleasant, loud alerts and will even sound a delay reminder if food is left too long in the microwave after completion of a heat cycle. Bosch does not offer this feature.
Problem #2 -- The installation manual could be improved by illustrating the attached outlet plug and offering an example of what an appropriate 20-amp receptacle should look like that will accept Bosch's VERY UNUSUAL plug. I completely understand why Bosh supplied their unique 20-amp plug but I for one have never seen a plug like that even though, as it turned out, my receptacle accept such a unique plug.
Problem #3 - Bosch does NOT offer a 27” matching drawer. They only offer a warming oven. This forces customers to either upscale to a warming oven they don't need or put up with mismatched cabinets. Since I needed to fit the speed oven into an existing 27" opening, I did not have the flexibility to simply specify a 30" cabinet on a new installation.
Problem #4 – Since this is a microwave-oven combination, if the oven features are being used then the kitchen will not have an available microwave.

Well Made Cooktop
on December 1, 2017

from Honolulu, HI
Verified Purchase:Yes
Our new stainless steel Bosch 800 Series 30" Built-In Gas Cooktop looks good and offers excellent heat control from high to simmer. The red ON-light is a good safety feature especially when low simmer settings make it difficult to notice the flame. The installation instructions were good with a few exceptions. First, the depth of the unit below counter tops is very difficult to discern from the published diagrams. Question: Is the bottom 3 13/16” from the top or bottom of the above-counter stainless? Answer: It’s from the bottom. The unit hangs down 3 13/16” from the top of the counter. This is very important when installing a built-in oven below the cooktop. The gas connection is the second problem. Bosch’s installation instructions assume there is NO under counter wall oven below the cooktop as in my case. Bosch assumes the gas pressure regulator will hang down below the cooktop. They fail to detail how a cooktop is to be mounted over an under-counter Bosch oven. I had to figure out on my own that a 90º black pipe elbow is required in order to mount the pressure regulator off to the side in an adjacent cabinet void. Bosch also failed to identify the pipe size coming out of the cooktop’s bottom. FYI - A 3/8-in diameter 90-Degree Black Iron Elbow Fitting is required. It wasn’t until I had both the oven and cooktop out of the box that I could calculate how the two units would fit together.

Well made attractive oven

Our new Bosch 800 Series HBL8451UC wall oven has been in use for about one week. The oven exhibits excellent temperature control. Its electronic control panel is intuitively designed with comprehensible user manual. The appliance installs easily and comes with a long attached flexible electrical conduit connection-ready. The oven’s solid bottom permits sliding the unit into and out of cabinet cavities with no secondary supports. Our previous oven required careful handling because of its flimsily constructed bottom air circulation baffles. Another plus is the oven’s appearance and compatibility with other Bosch wall units such as drawers and speed ovens.

Every dish fits. This Bosch dishwasher lets you position each rack exactly where you need it, so you can create room for more dishes. Load deeper items like cereal bowls in the MyWay™ rack and free up extra space for pots and pans below.

Great Dishwasher So Far
on September 8, 2017

The dishwasher works fine and looks great but the directions are rather sketchy. It took several anxious moments and a lot of thought to get the Bosh dishwasher to work as expected. Problem: Nowhere in the operating manual does it explain what the digital display number means. For example: Turn dishwasher on and select the “Auto” cycle. The number 2:09 will now flash in the display window. What does this flashing number mean? Is it an error code? Why is it flashing? ANSWER (not in the operating manual): The flashing number identifies the time that the “Auto” cycle will run. If the “Auto” cycle is modified by selecting the additional “Extra Dry” option, then the flashing number increases to a new cycle time larger than Auto (2:09) because “Extra Dry” takes longer.
So, why is the light flashing? ANSWER (not in the operating manual): The flashing number indicates that options have been selected (Auto & Extra Dry in the above example) but have NOT yet been executed with the “Start” button. Once the “Start” button has been pressed correctly, then the flashing light becomes steady. The door must now be completely closed within four seconds. The red floor run light should now illuminate (stead).
The manual should also explain secondary indications that should be observed when buttons are touched/pressed. The buttons are not mechanical click buttons but heat/pressure sensitive buttons. The button must be held until the desired selection is accepted by the dishwasher. Using the above example: When pressing the “Extra Dry” button the flashing display number should increase in value (time). If it doesn’t increase then the “Extra Dry” button did nor register. Likewise when pressing “Start” you must observe that the display light stops flashing and goes steady. If it did not go steady the dishwasher will NOT run. After “Start” has been executed correctly and the door closed, the floor light should be steady not flashing. Flashing in this case indicates the door was not completely closed. Again, we love the dishwasher but learning how to operate it was not easy.

I want to buy a single wall oven (Bosch 800 series) and use it in combination with this 800 series gas cooktop. will that be possible?

Yes. You can mount a Bosch 800 cooktop over an 800 oven if you meet the following criteria. First, the cooktop’s bottom hangs down 3 13/16” below the top of the counter. In one of the secondary installation instructions Bosch says they want 3/8” between the bottom of the cooktop and top of the oven. So, the top of the main oven needs to be 4 3/16” below the top of the counter. Secondly, you need a 3/8” black pipe elbow screwed onto the cooktop’s bottom gas connection. Connect a 3/8” nipple to this elbow so as to move the gas pressure regulator off to the side (adjacent cabinet space).
