What a wonderful addition to the kitchen, we especially like not having to bend to look in the oven and it is easy to lift things in and out.. This has surpassed our expectations it is expensive but you get what you pay for.

Unable to read the dials being all black and no back light behind the dials.

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!

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!)

Hard to give a proper review after only 2 weeks of purchase but the oven looks top quality well made and it cooks as it should. Plenty of functions for the top and bottom oven which we probably won’t use half of them but none the less they are there. Highly recommmend

Great oven. Looks good and cooks well. Slightly disappointed in the dials - the numbers don't light up when in use and the knobs are a bit old fashioned.

Still getting used to the oven. Firstly, it’s hard to see the marker on the black dials to select your settings. Disappointed it doesn’t have digital setting like my old Samsung and it doesn’t let you know when the oven has reached its desired temperature. I’m struggling with the temp settings, its taking longer to cook than my old oven so I’m having to use higher a settings. The volume on the alarm is far too quiet, if your not in the same room you won’t hear it. Not sure it’s going to be as good as my Samsung.

This was to replace an earlier edition (11 years old) which got damaged whilst our house was being restored following flooding. Very similar and therefore very familiar... if it ain't broke, don't fix it! My only minor gripes are the alarm is much quieter so it's hard to hear if you're in another room (and it doesn't run for very long) plus it's hard to read the dials in the evening as they are grey in a black background (dials were white previously).
