Bosch Serie 2 HBF133BS0A

Very affordable, good quality and quiet. There is only one rack but there’s also the second roasting tray which you can use for vegetables or as a second rack if you need to not really sure why people make such a big fuss about this it’s pretty standard overall a good value oven from a good brand. The only thing that probably would’ve been nice… Read more ·  1

although I understand that this price point that is not featured, is a digital temperature gauge rather than a manual one so that when you turn the knob you can see what temperature you are dialling up, but first world problems.

Cooks well BUT do not buy if you live in Sydney -- even just the slightest bit of cockroach activity behind your oven will set off the sensors. The wires are exposed and very sensitive, this also allows German cockroaches access to eat the wiring. We have had our oven for less than 4 months and it just constantly beeps and even if we put the child… Read more

lock on it unlocks itself.

Someone from ABCO came out to look at it and before he even took the oven out to inspect it he said, it is cockroaches, it is a very common problem particularly for this oven. I will never buy a Bosch oven again.

Not working – Bought this in Sept 19. Lasted 4 1/2 years then died. The last few times I’ve used it I’ve had to increase the temperature to 200C and bake for over1 hr what I normally set at 180C and bake for 30 mins. Yesterday when I turned it on it tripped the circuit for it. Absolutely got duped by Bosch, I had always thought that they were leaders in ovens,… Read more

it’s a disgrace that it has only lasted such a short period of time. Rang Bosch and was given the authorised repairer for our country town. This company has so many bad reviews and a terrible reputation around town there is no way I would take anything to them. Tried to email Bosch and got timed out as soon as I hit submit. Tried chat, but that wasn’t working either. Would I recommend Bosch? Definitely not. We should get much longer than a few years out of an oven.

Absolute Lemon – We purchased the Bosh HBF133BSOA oven, it does not work as advertised. It is an appalling product and even more appalling is the customer service. We are stuck with an absolute lemon of an oven. Cakes sink in the middle, it does not cook evenly on three levels as promised. After one use, the back developed scorch marks which at first we thought… Read more

was rust. They claim its fat, I'll include a photo everyone knows splatter patters of fat don't go upwards on the back of an oven.

Bosch then claimed because I had stored it in packaging for 12 months in my house, that it was an inappropriate storage; but then send a tech around to say nothing is wrong with the oven but I have to cook 10 degrees lower (which still makes no difference). How does that work, there's something wrong with the oven, then there isn't? They did then send a tray free of charge but that made zero difference. I also spent another 80 odd dollars trying to resolve the issue with cookware.

They then had the audacity to imply that its my cooking and I can not operate a basic oven. Followed by its what I cook in my oven (an array of gluten and non gluten goods as I have with every oven I have owned) Umm yeah Bosch I have cooked in a variety of settings I know how to use an oven.

The issue is YOUR product and please don't come on here claiming to care, your social media didn't your management doesn't and nor does your call centre. I then decided to ask once again before offering to take the matter to VCAT for a resolution for them to review.

Less than a week later I did receive a call to suggest that they were reviewing but Two weeks later they still don't care, no update, no outcome. I am extremely disappointed. I thought Bosch was a reasonable brand. I have decided due to personal circumstances to let the matter go now and purchase another oven. This oven will end up as land fill. Yes that's right, you can't even sell it. But I will not hesitate to give an honest review to family and friends about my personal experience. Of course it has meant I will never buy Bosch again.

Going by the other reviews here I hope you take on board the feedback you are receiving from your customers. Every time you ignore a customer and do not find a solution is a loss for you as a company, because that feedback is shared on social media, with family and friends. You used to have quality products maybe its time to look at why you are receiving the feedback you are receiving.
