A real winner

We have had several high end brands of ovens over the years and have found this design to be superior in many ways. Both upper and lower have separate oven cook mode selectors that are intuitive and easy to read. The interior lighting is excellent and what more can be said about the quick preheat - unbelievable. Internal heat temperatures are consistent making multishelf baking and cooking a breeze. Shelving is easy to remove and clean. The info center chiming is audible but not annoying. The oven appearance is modern but blends well with our more traditional style. The oven configuration allowed us to install with minimal changes to the existing cabinetry. Great product in both design and performance.

After a long wait...... we received our Bosch combination oven. It was worth the wait. The controls are easy to understand and the performance is excellent. The ball bearing gliding oven rack is very helpful when handling heavy dishes.

Oven is Fine; Microwave Not So Much

I have no complaints about the oven. It works fine, though I still haven't figured out how to edit the temperatures on the probe.
The microwave and convection portions of the microwave are also fine. They seems powerful and cook well.
The design of the microwave is terrible. Because of the top-opening door, it is impossible to clean witout standing on a ladder and it's not that easy then either. The white carousel is also virtually impossible to keep clean. The rack doesn't slide out; it's positioned on 4 flimsy plastic hooks so you need to pick it up and remove it from the oven any time you want to take something out. Even cheap toaster ovens have slide out trays.
The worst part of the microwave is the broiler. It takes about 10 minutes to cook a piece of toast and 20 to brown the top of a casserole. Because the rack doesn't slide out, you need to reach in to flip your toast or remove the rack entirely. The attached photos show a few of the new and older burns I've gotten from touching the broiler element while trying to reach in. I also had a potholder catch on fire. If I was a more litigious person I would sue Bosch.

I have yet to burn a meal with this thing! It convection feature cooks food so evenly! There are so many features that make cooking a breeze. The defrost feature is one of the best I have ever used. A perfect defrost every single time.

Microwave is a Miss

49 months later, the microwave door spring failed, which is a $600 repair. 3 months ago the microwave display panel went out, $400. Such a disappointment.
Now we are stuck with buying another bosch microwave, or replacing the entire combo, although the main oven works fine.
I expected everything from Bosch that Whirlpool wasn't. Big Mistake. Never again.

Works well. Difficult to load, racks seem off a bit specifically to handle glasses and cups on top rack.
Seems to clean well, doesn't dry as well as other dishwashers we've had.
Very quiet to operate.

Bosch Combination Oven

We have only had this appliance about a month but we are very happy with it so far. The oven although the outer dimensions are the same as our old GE, the size and shape of the oven itself is larger by about 20 percent. It heat up to temperature quickly and cools down quickly when turned off. We have found that food cooks quicker in it compared to our old oven and we believe that the reason is that the cooking temperature is more accurate than our old oven. We are very happy with the oven.
Like most people we use the convection microwave more than the oven and we have been happy with this part of the appliance as well. Since we have only had the combo a short time we have not had many opportunities to use the microwave as a convection oven but we are looking forward to doing so.
We have identified a couple of things we don't like and that is what stopped me from giving the appliance 5 stars. First, the microwave is the upper appliance as expected but the door only opens from the top, not from the side like most microwave ovens. That makes it somewhat awkward to put food in as you have to reach a long way to get it on to the rotating plate. My wife and I are short and it is a stretch to put a plate of food into the appliance and then remove it after cooking. I keep a small step stool handy for that purpose. Second, the microwave came with a detail operational guide for its use. The oven did not. When I contacted Bosch I was told the oven's instruction manual is only available online as a PDF document so I had to print 40 pages in order to have a copy in the kitchen while we learned all the various functions of the new oven. Lastly, we have a concern that if one of the appliances needs to be replaced at some point we would be forced to replace both. Hopefully that won't happen.

Microwave display has failed twice. Original part no longer available (wonder why); replacement part # very hard to find.
Unit seems to have low power; radiant cooking is too slow to be useful.
Both ovens pour massive heat into kitchen. Mounted on wall to garage but no practical way to vent oven cabinet anywhere but out the front into kitchen.
Only 4.5 yrs old but we will be replacing soon with a competitors' model.

Still learning these, but so far so great. Love the sensor cook and sensor reheat feature of the top oven. Days of waiting 45 minutes to an hour for a sweet potato are OVER. Also love the auto probe for the lower oven.

Great oven combo - the big oven is very powerful with a fast preheat and excellent convection fans. Very nice looking. The small oven is a little hard to clean the back which gets dirty if you have kids that microswave a lot of stuff.

After not having an oven for over a year, I am really loving these ovens! The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is that I wish the speed oven didn't require you to turn it off once the notification sound goes off. Seems like the sound should turn off automatically when you open the oven!

Bosch reached out like they were going to help, but they won't help you! Don't be fooled by them when you see that they responded to the bad reviews. I gave them all the supporting documents on my repairs, and the current issue of needing a new door. I had requested they help by at least providing me a replacement door at no cost, but no response. I will never purchase another Bosch product!

Bosch Benchmark microwave is a piece of garbage! We purchased it in 2015 when we remodeled our kitchen, and we have had it repaired 5 times! The fuses have burnt out TWICE and the repair was labor intensive. The entire unit had to be removed, which required 2 men to come out. The control panel had to be replaced, the ceramic turn piece broke, and just today the spring broke that controls the door. I will never buy another Bosch product and we tell everyone I know to never buy one. Horrible products do not buy!!!!!
