"Very pleased with it so far. It is a bit more complicated to use than our old oven. Lots more settings which we will have to get used to but overall good product."
"It is a Bosch product and that says it all for me. Lives up to all that was said about it in its review.words"
"Ordered this oven to replace one that was out of the ark. Brilliant! The first thing cooked in this oven was bread. Great result. Have cooked bread, cakes, meat all with great results. Thoroughly recommend - easy to use. Absolutely no regrets with my choice."

"Great choice with pizza function and oven seems a lot hotter than old one. Will enjoy experimenting with lots of baking too."
"Excellent product excellent prompt and extremely efficient service "
"My mother's previous Bosch oven lasted over 25 years with typical usage so when it finally gave up, it stopped heating, we decided to go with this one in the hope it will last that long too.
(That might have even been our fault as we always had the drip tray resting on the floor of the oven, which the instructions for this one say not to do)
Seems very well built, very nice white glass finish, and nice knobs which feel sturdy and not cheap. The light is nice and bright too.
It fitted perfectly in the single oven slot in our kitchen. Even the front retaining screws were in the exact same place as the last one.
The shelves are designed so that they slide out half way and then hit a stop so they don't fall out accidentally, but can be removed by simply lifting the front edge up.
The side rails for holding the shelves are a little awkward to remove for cleaning, I think my mother would struggle with those.
The digital clock is bright red, can be programmed as just a countdown timer with a alarm, or can turn the oven off when the timer reaches zero. You can also set a "to be finished cooking at time", though this is not very intuitive as you need to set the countdown timer, then set the finish time.
The fast preheat function seems to work well, and the oven chimes when it gets to your set temperature which is nice. You do then have to set the oven to the desired mode of operation afterwards.
Can't yet comment on the self-cleaning rear panel yet. The manual says this should last the lifetime of the oven.
Only gripe is that the power lead is a little on the short side. The power lead has a special plug that plugs into the back of the oven so you kind of have to use it, whereas the previous oven had terminals on the back for bare wires to be inserted.
Your connection will pretty much have to be directly behind the oven and won't leave much room for plugging the plug into the back of the oven before sliding it into the slot.
I used a 30A junction box to connect to the previous wiring and make the job a little easier.
Overall pleased with the purchased."
