This oven is GARBAGE
So sick of it
5/10/2021
We bought this oven in June, 2019 and since then, we have had repair at our home a total of 6 times for 3 different service calls. The oven turns on BY ITSELF in the middle of the night and turns OFF while we are cooking and flips into an error mode. This oven has literally ruined our food over a dozen times. We are currently doing most of our cooking in a toaster oven because we have to sit and watch the defective Bosch oven the entire time in case it turns off.
We have gotten to the point that we have to turn the breaker to the oven off because we are afraid it will overheat during the night and burn down our home!
Bosch has replaced EVERYTHING in this oven and we are still having the problems. And now they are refusing to replace the oven, despite the repeated repairs and continual problems.
We have had to miss work repeatedly, which is very hard for people who actually have jobs requiring them to be on-site at work. Moreover, on one visit, the repair guys damaged our brand new oven cabinet (we redecorated our kitchen and bought new appliances, including this oven -- our solid wood oven cabinet was damaged and had to be replaced -- which requires removing ALL of the cabinets on that wall so the oven cabinet can be moved out and replaced!!)
Now, we are having the SAME problem (after Bosch replaced "EVERYTHING") and they are offering to only "fix it again" -- NO.
The oven is DEFECTIVE and Bosch is refusing to make this right. Bosch needs to replace it with a new oven or buy it back.. $3500 for an oven that has been non-functional for 25% of the time we had it!!
Absolute CRAP!

I enjoy having the option of utilizing a double oven when cooking meals or entertaining. This double oven by Bosch is perfect for me. I love the stainless steel. I had to wait about 6 weeks to take delivery of my oven. It was totally worth the wait. It's quiet and heats well. It gives you alarms to indicate when the temperature has been reached and I love how you can choose the various options: convection, proofing, bake, broil, pizza and conventional for the top oven and the bottom oven is more of a conventional oven. It is very intuitive in its operation. I also like the knob function versus a digital setting. These ovens are definitely worth the wait. I also love the fact that they are self-cleaning. I can't wait to get back to cooking great meals for my family and friends.

I love my oven. It is sleek and works well. The only reason it does not get a 5 is because of the timer. It is so not touchy enough to press arrow keys individually but too touchy to hold down the arrow key. I would recommend being able to digitally enter the time and not press arrow keys

We love our oven, the oo oven has do many options, and we have used all of them so far. The convection options are amazing, cuts cooking time down and still produces great food

I love my new oven. The best i have ever owned. The timer is a little annoying. It is very hard to get the exact time on the first try. But it cooking features make up for that. It has lots of options and the warm feature is one of my favorites.

Something I would have never done, buy an appliance on line without seeing it in person....BUT thanks CV19. The dishwasher works wonderfully. It's beyond quiet that I often wonder if its still running. My big complaint is I can't fit any of my pyrex glass containers in it becasue the slot spacing is so tight. We live out of leftover containers, not a plate using family. The bottom rack must fit at least 30 plates and not even my thicker plates! The product works wonderfully but the lack of being able to get anything in it is making us crazy. I'm going to look at buying a different rack.

I like the ovens overall except that a keypad with numbers on it would be much easier to deal with for the temperature and timer. I had to buy an extra timer because the one on the oven is difficult to work with. Also, the ovens came with a huge dent in the back that doesn't currently (and hopefully never will) affect their operation.

This is a great oven! It is spacious and generally easy to use. The controls take some time to get used to them, as they have their own "personality" for setting temperature, time, etc. But other than that, this is a quality product!

Oven can't hold temperature

I have had this oven for over 5 years. It was part of an upgrade package from the builder (all kitchen appliances are Bosch). I have calibrated it several times, yet the temperature varies on both the top and bottom ovens.
I purchased a separate hanging temp gauge just to check and it has confirmed this.
Some of the more specific problems I have encountered:
- When I set the top oven to a certain temp and the indicator beeps that it is at temp, the oven is always is lower than the set temp.
- if I open the door to stir or remove a dish, then retiirn it, the oven temp falls dramatically even tho I do not leave the door open for that long.
- the top oven takes forever to reach temp and when it falls as stated above, it takes even longer to return to temp.
- the bottom oven has the opposite problem. It cooks hot so for both top and bottom, I am always compensating and guessing at the setting for the various foods.
I feel that these 'higher end' ovens should not have these problems and I am very disappointed with each Bosch appliance I have (Double oven; dishwasher; refrigerator)

The oven works well but the timer is impossible. I wondered if it was just my oven but 'David' is having the exact same problem. I am about to build a new home and this is SO annoying that I will not be choosing a Bosch oven again.

Annoying timer and heat control

The temperature setting and timer setting control panel goes from slow movement to rapid fast forward causing you to constantly overshoot and having to go back. There needs to either be a number panel or no ridiculous acceleration in choosing settings.

I've always wanted a double oven. Love my Bosch appliances. Love that the top oven has settings for even proofing my bread! Not to mention the convection setting, roasting and just keeping my food warm. Very convenient when I am multitasking and entertaining. I could be baking a cake in the bottom one, and roasting a chicken for dinner in the top one. Love it!

This is my first double oven and I am thrilled at the thought that I can fit an entire holiday dinner into this oven without a problem. I feel like Julia Child - the possibilities are endless and the clean-up will be in the hands of Bosch!

I bought this double oven when the Thermador that came with my house died. The quality of this Bosch oven seems superior to me and I'm very happy with my purchase. I love the look of it, it's beautiful and sleek, and really easy to use. I like the more 'manual' dial, feels like less electronic panel Stuff to fail as did on my old oven. I'm very pleased with my new oven!

Very nice to look at, but the controls are not easy to adjust. HOnestly, we had the control panel replaced because we thought it was defective, but the serviceman said that is how they all are. Touch pad is very sensitive and either doesn't recognize a finger touch or sends the time or temperature number up or down way to fast, not being able to stop on the desired number. Very annoying and frustrating. I would not recommend this oven for this very reason.

Great oven but poor controls
Keith

The cooking performance is great on this oven. It has all the features you'd need. It's easy to use, easy to clean and looks great. Where things get off track is the controls. The touch screen part is necessary to set oven temperatures but is impossible to control without frustration. The screen isn't responsive enough when you need to press and hold. Invariably you will end up past the temperature you want and then being very deliberate to not overshoot again as you back track the other way. A single touch works fine. In this day of touch screen appliances this is just completely unacceptable. Skip this one, spend a bit more and get the one with the numeric keypad that doesn't require any press and hold silliness.

This is my fist time owning a double wall oven. We moved into our new home on November 1st and it was absolutely wonderful having my Bosch Double Wall Oven for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. In past years without such a unit it was much more work to try keeping food warm and having it all ready at the same to (which never happened). but now with this Bosch Double Wall Oven it's a breeze to have all our food ready at the same time to enjoy a warm meal with my family.

We have experienced a problem with the bottom oven and had two repairs done. Of course it was beyond the warranty period, so we had to pay for the work and parts. I expected better from Bosch.

Fan noise horrible

The fan noise was annoying from the beginning, but now after a year it has become unbearable. Absolutely discusting considering what we paid for this supposedly 'high end' double oven. My grandmothers 30 year old 'builder grade' oven is way quieter than this thing - it sounds like a cheap sink disposal - but it never stops till the oven cools down!
Grrrrrrr :(

Outstanding double ovens
A satisfied customer
9/7/2019
The Bosch 500 Series double wall ovens are extremely attractive to look at, but also perform as well as they look. We have used both ovens since installing them about a month ago, and they are very straight forward in operating, and bake, broil, etc. wonderfully. The quality is outstanding. We can highly recommend them!!

Touchpad is terrible!
Unsatisfied in Miami
9/3/2019
We bought this to replace a previous Bosch 5000 series Convection/Conventional oven HBL5055A after a power surge damaged the display board and replacement parts were no longer available. First, this oven was larger and didn't fit my cabinetry requiring modifications. We were able to deal with this, BUT we Detest the touchpad! Either they should have kept the additional knob control to dial in the temperature or also the ability to separate the hours from minutes, or give a number keypad like on the Bosch Convection Microwave HMC87152UC. We constantly have to hold the + or - button which ALWAYS overshoots our desired temperature AND timer time. Terrible design!
