Bosch Serie 8 Built-in Ovens

Oven died while under warranty. The service agent failed to return calls 3 times and took 8 weeks and 3 attempts to fix it. Bosch doesn’t respond to the emails they ask you to send them when you review both on Facebook and this site. Wasted way too much time on this company of shonks. Check out the 1.7 stars out of 5 from over 200 reviews for Bosch on this site, bearing in mind the minimum is one star, before buying Bosch. The real rating would be 0.7 of a star.

We have this oven for about 3 years, rarely used, started with 2 or 3 button not responding, now whole touch panel not responding. The touch screen won`t last long with this type of appliance.

Fix the touch panel parts is 750AUD+, plus appliance repair labor cost around 150AUD for initial call out fee.

Update to my review:
We have our oven fixed today. BSH Service team performing extremely good job, full of experiences, they know what they are doing. We got discounted rate on service and spare parts. We can not expect the appliance neve...

Turning dial needs cleaning often and touch screen has been failed, just in the time setting part which is annoying after the first post loss for 5 years! So a fault most likely was there during warranty is my problem now :)
Otherwise the oven works fine! Temp contro/ steam function is great but steam probably kills the touchscreen!

My Bosch oven is just 5 months old. Setting the temperature is a game of chance as regardless of the temperature I select the oven decides on the temperature, usually 10-15 degrees less than the setting, but sometimes higher than the setting. Furthermore, it takes 20+ minutes to reach 160deg which is unacceptable.
Put in a service call, the earliest they can get here is 3 weeks. This type of problem should NOT happen on such a new appliance

I purchased this oven mid-2016 hoping it would be well made and worth the extra expense (compared to other brands). Unfortunately the fan has completely died already! The oven doesn’t get heavy use, probably a few times a week. The seal has come off in parts too. Really disappointed. I haven’t had a service tech out yet, but if the oven is too expensive to repair I certainly wouldn’t get this brand again.

Update: After a period on hold I got through to 'customer service' who could tell me the call out fee ($148 for 30 mins, then $10 for each a...

This oven was our first Bosch oven and we have never used a digital oven before so we were bit nervous about learning something new
Reading some other reviews on this oven I might have been worried about using this oven
We didn't need to be nervous the oven is easy to use the single dial is a great idea and works well and once we set up the oven it hasn't missed a beat
The instruction book is easy to follow and the functions are all logical
We were cooking with in minutes the oven has so many great features and we love the self cleaning absolutely recommend this oven

I find the the rotary Selector on the oven to be uncomfortable mostly because its hard to turn it. You would expect it to be much better on a top of the line model.
When turning it you must push hard to make it turn. The grip is non existent and the friction is such that it makes the ring feel kind of cheap. It's a shame you would expect Bosch to come up with something that is much more user friendly and comfortable.

We purchased this Oven on 31 March 2018 for installation as part of our complete house renovation. Unfortunately, delays in the Reno meant the handover of our home was not until July 2019 (ie, 16 months after purchasing the oven - leaving only 8 months of the 2yr warranty on this appliance).
Last month (February 2021) the touch-screen on the Oven became unresponsive. Unfortunately, even though the Oven has only been in use 19 months, it is outside of its warranty because of the physical purchase date. Regardless of this however, you would exp...

Very happy with this purchase, cooks evenly & temp seems spot on. Rapid heat up is a great feature & the range of features is fine. Would recommend to others & happily buy another Bosch oven

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...

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...

Best oven I’ve had by a mile. Perfect crackling every time, no mistake. Pyrolytic works a dream. Could not recommend more. Had Westinghouse, looked at Miele, Bosch is great value at great price.

We have 2 bosh ovens. After a self clean cycle oven glass cracked. It was hell trying to speak with them. They replied to an email months later saying they tried to contact.they didn't.
Avoid these people
Now they say its out of warantee sorry

The oven itself is pretty good but I am sure that dial isnt meant to be that hard to rotate. We bought our house 3 yrs ago and have always had trouble rotating the dial

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 ...
