Bosch Serie 8 Built-in Ovens

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

We chose this oven as in our prior renovation we had the older series equivalent and were extremely happy with it. The newer model (serie 8) is not user friendly and my husband and I curse at it at least once a month. Yes it cooks - however this should be a non-negotiable with ovens at this price bracket. What we find endlessly frustrating is the complexity of selecting the appropriate settings, a timer that does not display (instead the oven displays how long it has been on for... who cares?!), the 2 telescopic shelf rails are too close togeth...Read more

Good little oven because It is soooo quiet. Preheats quickly and bakes ok. Trays are good size and clean easily. Oven gets VERY steamy and sometimes there is water dripping from the bottom shelf into the door hinge after the cook. The dial does not behave most times -- gets jammed and it is hard to move it to change temperature or time. Baking is usually uneven for cookies on the trays or cakes....one side gets cooked more. The on/off button is extremely sensitive and when I am cooking at the stove above the oven, oven turns on by my clothing...Read more

I bought this oven from Appliance Online and got it installed from licensed carpenter. We noticed that door is not aligned and oven does not sit properly in the cabinet. My carpenter showed me that the diagonals differ by few millimetres. When I raised complaint for the first time they warned me if it is installation fault I will be charged. Since then I have sent many photographs details and two engineer have visited from their partner as Bosch do not have their own engineers. First engineer tried to fix the door to an extent. The second engin...Read more

Worst Oven Ive ever had the misfortune to own.

Pro-
- Oven Heats decently when it decides it wants to operate.

Cons-
- Open Oven at any decent temp and Steam will scald you so stand back.
- Try and set timer and press start and it doesnt start it sits there waiting for you to press start again. Set time and wait for it to start it sometimes does, sometimes doesnt. Set time watch it start to count down and walk away; come back 10 minutes after the end time should have happened and its paused at 2 seconds past when it should have starte...Read more

Renovated my whole kitchen and purchased everything for Bosch. Our oven sat in the Garage for 3 months while I Kitchen was completed. Once it was installed I use the pre set settings. The fan doesn’t turn on and a strong burning plastic smell Started. Grease went everywhere and destroyed the interior on the oven. We had 2 technicians come out , one replacing the seal and the other saying everything is fine. 4 MONTHS ON back and forth with customer service they have say it’s our fault as the smell is from grease.APPARENTLY I can’t tell the diffe...Read more
