Really happy thanks arrived quickly with friendly delivery in perfect working order also really pleased with my choice

My previous oven was Bosch and never had any problems until it packed up so I went again for this one but the only thing is the alarm setting for the oven in not very visible and it’s difficult to see also the alarm only rings for a short time.

Cooks more evenly than our old Bosch. It has a fast heat function on the dial, which means you have to keep an eye on it and switch it over to the function you want and let it settle before you can use it. If you put food in to soon after switching over, the top burns almost instantly. Our previous oven had a fast heat button to press and it heated, then as soon as it got to temperature, it switched to the function you selected on the dial automatically, which was better. Also the timer is harder to set. Plus the temperature and timer beep is so quiet. So we have to use a different a different timer so we can't hear it if anything else is happening on the room (we're in our 30s, and not hard of hearing). The hydra clean function works quite well though I kind of wish I'd just spent the extra money on the pyro cleaning one.

Quite disappointed with this oven primarily because of the control panel. The picture I saw along with the high price tag when I decided on this particular one gave me the impression that the large digital display panel held the same information as my current one. I have this positioned under worktop meaning I have to crouch down to select temp and oven selection as nothing but the clock is displayed. The push in dials also feel very cheap. Love the split oven trays which goes some way to making up for the issues I have.

Nice oven but I didn't expect plastic buttons on a such expensive oven.

I chose this oven specifically because of 2 features, which didn't turn out to be as good as expected: the self-cleaning internal surfaces are actually just one surface, i.e. the back panel; the 3D Hot Air system is not distributing the heat evenly, as the edges (particularly the right one) of large trays of food cook more quickly than the centre. This is particularly disappointing, as it was one of the issues with our old oven. Also, although there is a timer, there isn't a function to keep track of how long the food has been cooking for, which I would prefer when cooking something for an unknown length of time. And the different temperatures on the front panel are a bit difficult to read. On the positive side, the oven, including the controls, looks sturdy, well built and not over-reliant on electronics, which is what caused the early demise of our previous appliance.

Is ok but was surprised to see was a plug led not usual oven connection

If I’m honest I regret not spending a little more. The oven itself is great and Bosch is a good brand. However this being the bottom of their range means the controls are very basic. Simple is good, but the controls are REALLY hard to read being printed black on chrome and the many tiny icons are hard to distinguish. Would be worth paying an extra few quid for really clear control panel readout.
