Easy to use, signage/knobs displayed clearly Smooth door with a drip trap for steam Sleek design

Really pleased with the oven. Great value works ,really well very sturdy and efficient

Very sleek looking. The controls are clearly marked and easy to understand. I really enjoy using it and look forward to many years of happy cooking. The drop down door is a change from my old oven and I can see right away that it has many advantages.

I used AO for the first time to purchase a Bosch double oven. I could not of had a better purchasing experience. The oven is high quality which you would expect from Bosch. It looks very smart and the fan oven works very well with even cooking.

This is a lovely looking appliance and is very easy to operate. It didn't take long to figure out the programmer and timer settings. Cooking and baking has become so much easier.

My previous oven of 16 years was superb but difficult to clean. this new oven is in a way modular, parts are easy to remove and clean and especially the glass front doors. The specially treated internal oven sides make it all so easy to keep clean too. Visually it looks impressive and as for its primary feature - "cooking" - it does a great job. I really like the set the oven timer to cook and switch off at the end of the cycle. My days of over cooking may be over! Suggestion to BOSCH - why not include a simple A4 page showing the basic startup and simple programming for the new user.

Bought during lockdown when there was no possibility of seeing the appliance before purchase. 1) The top oven is tiny! Because of the design of the racks, it is very difficult to get more than one shelf in at a time. What if you want to cook 2 pizzas in there while you are using the bottom oven? And if you want to use it to keep some of your cooked dishes warm while, say, you crisp up your roast potatoes in the bottom oven, there's very little space. With a rack on the lowest level, you have only 10cm space above it, but you still have 4.5cm wasted space below it! It would have been easy to add a couple more shelf heights to the rails. Also, with all previous ovens I've used, the wire rack sits flush with the grill tray underneath - they sit on the same rail. With this oven, the rack sits proud of the tray, so the tray uses one rail and the rack the next one up. Ridiculous. 2) The main oven doesn't cook that evenly, as is claimed. Flapjacks, bread and duchesse potatoes have all come out browned on one side. 3) The timer beeper is soooooooo quiet! If you are in the kitchen with the radio on, it is super easy to miss the finish. Again, it is quieter than on any oven I've ever used. You could set the oven so it turns itself off after the required time, in case you miss the beeper, but this idea doesn't work. Do you want to leave your sponge in the oven for an extra ten minutes after the oven has turned itself off? Of course not, it will dry out. 4) All my ovens so far have had the great little timer where you turn the knob and in a flash you can set anything from 1 to 60-odd minutes. Superb! I was not looking forward to giving that up with the new oven as my parent's (different brand) has touch-sensitive buttons like this Bosch and it is a disaster. Fortunately on this oven the buttons are perfectly sensitive enough. But the system is less user friendly. When you've cooked your pasta for 10 minutes and it needs another minute, you select the timer and is automatically selects 5 or 10 minutes to start with (depending on whether you've used the + or - button). You have to press the button a total of 10 times to select 1 minute. Yes, you can set the timer to half-minute intervals, whoopee-doo, but it's too complicated. One the positive side, the oven does seem good quality, as you would expect. There aren't lots of complicated programmes, which for me is great. The selectors are fairly easy to grasp and the markings allow you to set the temperature quite accurately - I would say you could set degree by degree if you wanted to. You do have to look for the little marker on the side of the knob to get it accurate, as any parallax makes setting from the front difficult. Once again, a little tweak in design would have allowed the mark on the knob to be right next to the temperature markings on the oven, without having to look at it sideways. Overall, if you want two properly useful ovens, don't buy this. But if you just need a quality oven at a good price and can put up with some annoying niggles, get these while you can.

Bosch double oven... does what it says on the tin...
