This oven is the best con job ever. When you first use it it works fine cooks great then when the oven decides it needs the pyrolitic cleaning cycle prepare to panic that this oven will burn your house down. It generated that much heat that it cremated one of the glass panels in the door resulting in five long brown streaks around ten cm long these streaks were enclosed in the glass pane and could not be cleaned. Result had to be replaced. Nine days for Bosch to have someone come and look at it fourteen days later the part was ordered fourt...Read more

I bought this oven for ONE reason only, because its ad says "With 4D hotair the heat is evenly distributed on every level. Thus, food can be placed on any shelf level from one to four and the results will be consistently perfect." I also rang their sales people and they assured me the ad was correct before I bought it.

Either the advertising is false and misleading , or the oven I bought is defective. I cook scones and biscuits, and they brown on one side of the tray and not so brown on the other side. It also browns differently on differen...Read more

A few weeks ago, my very old, trustworthy gas oven came to end and I decided to replace it with a fancy new electric Bosch oven. I read the reviews and decided to get what I thought was a premium product. It worked beautifully a few times and then...fast forward two weeks: I was getting something out of the oven, the door was open and a butter knife that was on my bench fell on the glass door and SHATTERED it! Just like that. Not a hammer. A butter knife!
I found out 1) how delicate this expensive oven is and much worse, 2) the inside panel is ...Read more

We bought our oven through Retravision. We have had our kitchen renovated and opted for all Bosch appliances and I wanted them made in Germany. We wanted a quality oven to replace its el-cheapo predecessor. When cooking with our previous oven, you had to stop half way through and rotate the food to get it to cook evenly, the element blew routinely and the temperature was largely guesswork.
Enter the Bosch oven and we found a whole new world. I should mention that it was delivered to my front lawn packaged in flimsy styrofoam wrapped with shrink...Read more

We purchased this oven under 2 years ago, and the touch screen stopped working within the warranty period. It took Bosch a week and a half to respond to us, then when the technician who was meant to do the inspection was ill, it took another week and a half for the second one to come out. The part required was not in Australia, and needed to come from Germany. They organised for a local dealer who had one of the ovens in stock to do a replacement, but the dealer had sold the oven that day. We are now 5 weeks without our oven. We have all Bosch ...Read more

We bought this brand new Bosch Serie 8 HB672BS1A pyrolytic oven considering the best product in the market but it seems that this was the huge mistake that was made and also their customer service department is useless and does not help either.

I called Bosch customer service way before Christmas and was advised that someone will contact me or will get a text message from the service department to organize for someone to come and fix the oven as it is not heating at all. No one showed before Christmas and when I called them to follow up they c...Read more

Bought this oven to upgrade our 3 year old 90cm Westinghouse which took forever to heat and cooked unevenly. We were always burning or under cooking.

This oven actually does everything it advertises. Easy to use - once you figure the modern touch dials, it's actually very intuitive. It heats very quickly and has a timer to let you know how long it's been heating for and when it's reached the desired temperature and the best thing - it actually cooked like you imagine a great oven would - at the temperature and evenly! For the first time in yea...Read more

Bought this oven along with the CMG633B.1B compact oven with microwave function to go in our brand new kitchen. After 25 years with our old oven, the last 12 months not having it working at all, our new oven is a god send. Cooks beautifully BUT takes a while getting use to the preprogrammed settings, time and heat settings which differ significantly from our old oven. Comes with a manual that had extensive instructions for a wide variety of meals telling you exactly which setting and time to put them on for eg: leg of lamb, boned, medium - cook...Read more
