This oven is in a new house chosen by the builder and has given us nothing but problems. The oven enamel is scratching, the temperature dial stencils have worn off and the hinge on the door has worn which makes the oven not keep in heat and the door seals are cracking. At first it was cooking fine but after 6 months of use it's not really reliable.

Have called for service and had taken 2 weeks to get a part out. Really not impressed by a brand new oven that takes this long for parts.

This oven heats up quickly, cooks evenly, and is easy to operate.

After reading other reviews of Bosch ovens, I feared the pyrolytic cleaning function would crack the glass in the oven door, but thankfully that didn't happen.

Given the stainless steel finish at a lower price to many of its competitors, I feel comfortable recommending this product to others.

Great oven but sorry to say the globe and the the globe cover not the best. My oven purchased February no 5mnths old globe went could not release it got the globe cover off easy was told not a warranty issue had to get someone out to do it for me which took less then a couple of minutes and 100.00 later again today the globe has gone again and again the same trouble obviously for something so simple to change and can't I am not prepared to pay another 100. And obviously something isn't quite right if the globe goes this quick. Oven not yet 12mnths old.
Not impressed

First impressions were good. Heats quickly, even heat spread,cooks evenly on multiple trays. after using for nearly two years now still a very impressive oven and definatley value for money.

We purchased our Bosch HBA13B253A last week after we decided to update our Blanco 20 yr old oven. For a base model it represents exceptional value. The triple glaze door means heat doesn't escape and heat our whole apartment. It is quick to reach the desired temperature and cooks evenly and superbly. It's quiet and easy to use. We couldn't be happier!
