Bosch Serie 4 Wall Ovens

Short warranty and disappointing customer experience – Oven comes out of warranty after just 2 years. After the two years be expecting to pay a technician call out fee of $180 excluding extra time and parts to fix any problems. I wouldn't have purchased this oven if I knew about how sensitive the oven is to air circulation requirements. The service centre seems to already know the problem as soon as I… Read more

logged the call without confirming the issue with me. Question is if Bosch already the issue then surely this must be a product related defect that should be fixed by the manufacturer instead of charging the customer for the defective parts. The parts ordered was going to cost me $4++ and they didn't even consult with me before ordering the parts. This is poor service and unacceptable for a supposedly strong brand such as Bosch!

Not of servicable quality – Purchased 11/2019 the glass door fell off just after warranty. Bosh agreed to replace it. Now Jan 2024 glass door fallen off again. How can this pass the test of being suitable for purpose if the door cannot last more than two years before needing to be replaced. The glue use to afix the door on this model is not good enough for the job and smacks… Read more

of a serious design defect.

I have contacted Bosch and initialy said a technician would look at it in 2 weeks. Same as last time then you need a new door another wait of several weeks. On top of that they want to charge $180 dollars call out to see what we all know is a design fault. See this post https://www.productreview.com.au/reviews/536cddd6-a166-5c97-97eb-dcc8e1a62ee9t . In all fairness anything other than the offer of a current model replacement at cost will not be a workable solution to retain a loyal Bosch customer. Now I am awaiting a review by customer support.

Thought it would be better – I've had my new Bosch oven for 6 months now and although it cooks well, I'm disappointed with the clunky dials that don't turn smoothly, and the unclear lines on the temperature dial(I've had to put a black marker line on to define the 180 degrees). I'm not sure how correct the temperature is, as the dial can be very inaccurate where you turn… Read more

it.... and the base of the oven does not clean easily. It doesn't come off with a wipe, it needs to be scrubbed with steel wool. The smaller oven is definitely not as good as the larger oven. So I only use that for as a griller and reheating. For the $2000 I spent on it, I'm sad that it has these faults. I did buy this oven very quickly without proper research so I'll be more careful if I ever buy another oven.

Not up to the usual Bosch standard – Disappointed with the cheap looking finish of the control panel and the knobs are quite difficult to turn. Most disappointing was that the single pull-out telescopic rail was fixed/unmoveable to the lower shelf support. As the lower shelf is not where most cooking will take place, this makes the telescopic rail pretty much useless. I've been a loyal Bosch customer for many years but this oven is not of the quality I expected. Show details

Terrible – The oven is only 6 months old and the glass on the front of the door is falling off! Sounds unbelievable for an oven this old doesn't it? Have a look at the photo. After many calls/emails it took two weeks to get a repair person from Bosch's outsourced repair company to come out. They had a look and said I need a new oven door cause the glue had… Read more

come unstuck (yes, they use glue to keep these doors together). Was told it would probably be another two weeks before they can get a replacement oven door. Would have expected better from Bosch.

Great oven with a few issues – I would have easily given this 5 stars were it not for the 24-hour clock and the poorly designed and cheap wire racks. The clock is so annoying, I want to cook food not plan a military campaign. And the wire racks are sloppy and move side to side about 2cm, there is also no stop so they hit the enamelled back of the oven. You can tell there was… Read more

little thought put into the design of the racks, which is a shame as the rest of the oven is wonderful. It is easy to install, preheats quickly, has even heat distribution, intuitive and simple controls, bright interior light, powerful and quiet fan and cooks food wonderfully. It's also very well insulated. This oven is so good I no longer use my expensive air fryer. Shame about the annoying clock.

This is terrible Quality Control item – I very disappointed with the NEW oven I received. I not sure Poland factory do they QC the product before send out the country? The good are pack Warped up nicely in original packaging. When I received the oven, the glass door are not attach Properly! Look like the glass door glued with silicon glue only (for bottom both side) top supported with… Read more

screw. The BiG pieces of glass door I can swing it when the main door are closed! I so worry the glass will drop out and falling apart! Bosch are So reliable branding why can use such low quality silicon glue And apply just 2 thin Stripe to support so heavy glass door? This oven is brand new Oven, in fact new items shouldn’t need repair, now I hv to arrange someone to repair for me! I worry heat retaining issue. Plus will the silicon glue will last as original silicon glue can takes the oven heat or not? Purchase my dream oven turn up my nightmare T_T

Very good oven, let down by slightly cheap looking controls – I was initially put off this oven based on some of these reviews, however it turned out to be very good. I use it pretty much every day to cook all manner of things. The only negatives are the controls look and feel a bit cheap and when setting the clock the increment is stupidly fast. Other than that, I like it.  Show details ·  1

Disappointing.....so much cleaning – Have been using this new oven for approx 5 months. It heats fine but I really wonder if it’s worth cooking in it because of the amount of time you have to spend cleaning it after cooking just one meal, eg roast, in it. It just stains really easily and then it is super hard to get the stains off. Takes all the enjoyment away from cooking a nice meal! Very disappointed! Show details

Good basic oven - neat, tidy and does it's job – Bought a new oven when we bought our unit. Overall a good worker though would put it at the more basic end. I do have a few niggles with it 1) When coming up to heat - there is a light indicator, however no sound notification. This is fine if you are in the kitchen, not so helpful if getting on with other jobs while getting the oven to heat.… Read more ·  1

2)The dials are not that easy to read as we do not have the luxury of being able to have it mounted at eye height. the most commonly used temperatures are under the dial Do like that the dials get pushed in when done, leaving a night streamline look the pyrolytic cleaning seems to work well - apart form the residue it leave on the glass front that then takes some cleaning. Seems to keep to time and be bang on temperature for now which is helpful. Overall - a good and not too expensive option to go with

Push buttons faulty – Got one for a rental property and thought it was great because is was cheap and it's a Bosch. After a few days we noticed the push buttons get stuck and take 2-3 pushes to go out. Not a good sign for a brand new oven. This is frustrating as now we need to leave the knobs out constantly and stick out a fair bit. The eco clean does absolutely… Read more

nothing and does not make it any different to clean like any other oven and the pre heating takes ages to heat up. It's poor design with a brand name attached.

The pop out buttons are so cool! – Really happy with the look of the oven - especially the pop out buttons. Elegant and sleek look. Heats quickly with the 3DHotair function. Has 5 grid-rails. Engraved functions beside the knobs so will not fade overtime. Nice even cooking. Yet to try the eco-clean function. Show details ·  1

Eco clean oven ? Disgusting mess – Always happy with Bosch so I believed this oven would be fantastic. WRONG we had this for one week and have been trying to get it clean ever since. We cooked a roast and the oven was left like no other oven I’ve used before . It’s like the oil has baked into the oven coating. BOSCH reps have been very helpful by sending us oven cleaner, - that… Read more

didn’t clean it after multiple tries and using the whole bottle - then saying the Ecoclean is working perfectly and I can pay for a serviceman to come out, if I’m not happy. Do not buy this oven or be sucked into the “easy clean “ functions because they are extremely misleading. These photos are after 3 cleans and Bosch is still saying that my Ecoclean function works and our oven is perfect.

Terrible purchase – The oven was damaged on delivery even though the box was pretty good. I was really disappointed in the built quality since I purchased this online then I got a new one and when I installed it I found there was only one oven rack and no grill rack insert. The plastic handle edges does not look like it will last and the enamel is already scratched on the inside. Very lacking for an expensive product. Show details

Terrible oven for the price it is – Had this put into my house from my builder. Worst mistake ever, food cooks unevenly, there is no grill tray for the oven so you need to use an oven rack and put in on top of the grill tray but it doesn't sit safely. The inside of the oven has the enamel wearing off and the temperature controls are wearing off too. The oven door has holes on top… Read more

and steams escapes into it so I have to disassemble the whole door to clean it. I paid $900 for an oven which does less of the job of a $400 one.
