We decided to have a new kitchen fitted after a large leak under the kitchen floor. My old cooker was a Range Cooker that did us well for over 20 years but now with only the two of us, we decided to have a built-in one with the bonus of not having to bend down to get to the oven. Having compared numerous ovens and thought most of them were much of a muchness, we finally decided on this one because it looked really smart with the features we needed and a good quality make. I have not yet had chance to put it through it paces but looking forward to giving it a good work out at the weekend. Only negative is that the controls are grey so hard to see against the black background. So far; so good.

Oven works acceptably but the cooling fan is noisy and runs for a ridiculously long time after use. Controls are virtually useless except in perfect light with perfect eyesight and the ability to bend down and see the white dot from beneath the dial. The most popular temperature range of 150 to 200 faces downwards. It is difficult to imagine how a major brand could be so badly designed I bought the oven on its appearance. This is the main attribute. It looks smart

Great oven, looks very stylish! Very pleased with my purchase!

This Bosch is a great oven, fast heating and accurate temperatures. So much faster than the old one. Easy to install and good looking.

Bosch double oven is a delight to use and performs exactly as it was described. AO delivered in every sense of the word. A double success!!!

This is the worst oven I have ever owned because: the cooking was very uneven; the outside of the main oven door was incredibly hot (dangerously hot in my opinion) when the oven was on; the fan was very noisy & stayed on for 50 minutes after the oven was turned off; it was terrible to clean as the catalytic liner is only at the back & the rest is enamel so food splashes stick very easily; the control knobs are very difficult to move to your chosen setting as they have only small dots on the side and so it's hard to read them, and the timer is so quiet it gets drowned out by the fan. The oven got returned because of the uneven cooking and I've now chosen a different make to replace it (which is infinitely better). However everything else mentioned above was exceptionally irritating so I'm very glad it's gone back to Bosch as there were no redeeming features! (p.s. I wanted to give this review no stars but this was not an option!)

Everyone knows that Bosch ovens are good (I owned the equivalent model to this for 14 years before it expired). This review is to alert prospective buyers to the fact that for whatever reason (which is probably not unrelated to 'penny pinching' by the manufacturer) you are no longer provided with the grill rack that used to sit happily in the grill tray of my old oven. According to the oven instructions you are supposed to position one of the grill shelves above the grill tray in order to grill your food. This method of working is patently bonkers - since you end up with hot grill juices dripping everywhere when you attempt to take the shelf out of the oven. I have therefore been forced to subsequently purchase a proper grill tray and rack from Amazon. If anyone from Bosch reads this - your customers expect better!

I really like the simple sophisticated look of my new oven. Nice clean lines well made and looks great
