Not the quality I expected
First of all it started showing big black spots under the clear paint coat at the bottom of the oven - something that is very smooth when you touch it and I can't clean at all (just after a few weeks of use). It looks like the paint on some lower layer is burning out, not a big problem but looks bad.
The timer is very hard to set and when pressing after 60 minutes it goes to 1,2,3 hours - why? Then to set it to 1:30 minutes i need to spend maybe a minute clicking on the buttons up and down and for me even 1:35 or 1:20 would be ok - but it's ob...Read more
viously not user-friendly and very annoying! Today it refused to turn on at all - I had to I turn off the apartment circuit trigger to let it reset - not sure if is ok or not, obviously not a good sign after 1.5 years of not too frequent use (1-2 times a week).Purchased in July 2021 at Bing Lee Online store for $619.00.

Terrible Oven. Died 1 year after Warranty
This Bosch oven worked well until it just suddenly stopped while I was baking a cake. Manual says the oven's fuse might have failed. Warranty is for 2 years and the oven only lasted 1 year after warranty expired. Bosch customer service quoted $120 call out plus $99/h labour plus parts cost for a repair service. When I asked for goodwill repair, I was advised Bosch only considers goodwill repair if the appliance breaks one month after the warranty period. Bosch advertises itself to be an industry leading brand with reliable appliances, but I just don't understand how a reliable oven can fail one year after warranty period.
Terrible customer service from Bosch. Do not buy Bosch Ovens!!!
Purchased in June 2021 for $735.00.

3.5 years old and dead!
Unfortunately, we thought Bosch were a good brand. We purchased oven/cooktop package. Seemed to work reasonably until now, with exception of some uneven browning. But only 3.5yrs later, the oven has died. Still waiting 1 week for Bosch technician $80 call-out, and $99/hr, excluding parts? Some research and I wondered if it was the fan oven element, but when my wife called to check that part was available (to not more waste more time without an oven - as this has been extraordinarily disruptive, given we use the oven almost daily!), the Bosch ...Read more
person said there is no stock of that part. Apparently, it's quite a common problem. Unfortunately, I'll definitely be buying another brand! Not recommending bosch! That's sad. In addition, one of the zones in our electric Bosch cooktop also has died. seems to be very poor reliability. My cousin works for Siemens is similarly disappointed.Purchased in December 2021.

Thought it would last longer
4 years old and the fan has completely burnt out, thought Bosch was a great brand.
Would have expected no problems for years as every one says Bosch is great you will have no issues, went by recommendations. A bit worried now as i purchased a Bosch dish washer recently too.
Will look to another brand now i think.
21/12 Just got the replacement and it’s broken, well done Bosch.

Excellent starting range oven
I have been using this oven for the last 6 months now. It has all basic features required in an oven and it does perform well compare to other ovens. I use it for baking cake, pizza etc and so far happy with the cooking. This oven cook the food evenly and also easy to clean after use.
I highly recommend this oven if you can get it for under $550.

Working Well
I think it's a good oven, I have not used too much but it works well. Only regret is that there is no separate TOP section just for Grilling fish or Veggies. I saw some ovens have a separate tray on top to grill fish or chicken which means easy cleaning and no mess.
Although, this model also works great and I have no complaints as of now.

Excellent oven
We bought this oven after our previous one died and nearly set our house on fire. Given the dimensions of the space our choice was limited. Ever since we received the oven it has been fantastic. It cooks relatively evenly and my roast potatoes come out superb! The only downside was we couldn't access the service to have it installed for us on delivery. Luckily we found a local electrician who did it for us the same day the oven arrived so we didn't have to go without for too much longer.

Great addition to the kitchen
This oven is great, self cleans but still have to give it a wipe down now and then. Cooks very evenly and the look of the oven makes it feel like it was just meant to be there. So far cooked pork and beef stues and a few roats all turned out very nice

I love this oven it cooks beautifully and, the self cleaning function is amazing leaving only a little ash after uses, but you still have to take the racks out and clean manually which is annoying it bakes evenly I would recommend this oven to my friends you wont be disappointing

Excellent oven
I have found this oven to be excellent and very fast in cooking food. I did alot of research into ovens and this had good reviews. I am glad i purchases it. The only issue i have had is that the bottom of the oven near the door melted and has a dent. It happened after i had a pizza accident and the hot cheese and toppings fell behind the oven door into the gap. I was surprised that the metal could be dented from that.

The bet oven I’ve ever bought
This oven is hands down the best oven I’ve ever bought. I love the 3D heat, it cooks chips in 15 min and pork crackling is to die for, which I’ve always struggled to do since changing to electric,but this oven is the bees knees. I haven’t cooked any cakes yet, so that will be interesting, but I love the instruction book gives examples for everything, right where to place trays on the racks. The fact that it comes with two wire racks and two trays that do not need to sit on a wire rack is awesome. It allows me to use 4 of the five racks at once,...Read more
which for sausage rolls is great instead of waiting to swap out they all cook at once. Absolutely pleased I chose this oven. Price was great as it was on sale, and was only a little more expensive than the cheapest oven. Well worth it.1 comment

Best oven ever
The best oven I have ever owned. It is so easy to use and is extremely efficient. Cooks fast and baking in it produces excellent results. The beeping when time is up is great; no more forgetting the oven's on. The black is very classy. I'm glad I chose Bosch.

Awesome product!
So happy with this oven. Purchased from The Good Guys with the best price offer.
It works perfectly fine as expected.
Very good finish quality. Very affordable price.
It matches with the gas cooktop purchased. The product look is great.
Backed few cakes so far and it does a great job.

Excellent - very pleased with product
Brought this originally to replace a super old one. Can't praise German technology more. Heats food evenly and very easy to adjust and monitor cooking. Very easy to clean and maintain. So far have not found anything that needs improvement. Love the timer and custom function controls. Appearance very pleasing to the eyes and a great addition to the look of the kitchen. Will not regret the buy.

Pretty good oven
We bought this oven when we were renovating our kitchen. I like the stainless steel finish and it fits in well with our colour scheme. The oven itself is quick to heat up and cooks the food well. The only negative point I would have is that I have found the outside can get very very hot, so you need to be wary of this when cooking. Otherwise, a great product.

This Oven is the Best
This oven has done the best cooking I have ever seen. I love how fast it preheats. The handle feels great under my hands. The smoothness when your opening the door is super smoothing. Nothing on the oven is rigid or slow. I would recommend this exact oven to anyone who is looking to buy.

Excellent oven for this price range
Excellent oven for this price range. Nothing to complain about. Have all the ‘must need’ features. Brought it on a sale which was even better. Easy settings and straight forward knob button. Very user friendly interface. The temperature control is very simple and seems precise. The oven is fan forced, heats quickly enough.

Fine but expensive
For starters, it's really hard to use this oven if you're not a dedicated cook. There's a lot of controls which need to be adjusted in order to start the oven - which many do not have any descriptions except for a diagram to represent what it's supposed to do. However the design makes it simple to clean out the oven which weren't the case for many older models.
