Bosch 500 Series, 30", Single Wall Oven, SS, Thermal, Knob Control

Very pleased with Oven. Works great! Pleased with the install too!

The oven is sleek and does what it is supposed to do as a basic oven. I miss the delay start feature. The only way to get a "time bake" i.e. to get it to turn off after a set amount of time is to set the sabbath mode for the time that you want the oven to stay on. And that is only in 1/2 hour increments. The sabbath mode starts from 74 hours and you have to punch down in 1/2 hour increments. When I bake bread I have to get used to which rack to put it on. The middle racks browns the top too quickly. But all in all I am enjoying it.

Loving my new Bosch oven. Works great but still learning all the features.

Most modern ovens seem to compete for the greatest number of features. Our previous oven even required WIFI access for correct operation! No this Bosch oven! It simply does what you set the knobs for. One is for mode and the other temperature. We can count on it to perform correctly and well every time we use it. It bakes, roasts, broils, and warms more evenly and better than any other household oven we have used.

Thank you for sending this product review. The reason I insisted on buying Bosch was that my old oven was a Thermador, and I was told that BOSCH was the replacement since they do not make that brand anymore. My old oven was incredibly safe and reliable. I want to share my concerns because it is a safety issue. 1- When I bake and broil food in this oven, and I open the oven to take the food item out all the steam/extremely hot air or vapor comes out. When we first bought this item, i almost burned my arms and face, It was serious and scary. Now I learned to open it a little while I am standing on the side, relaease that hot air and then take out or check my food. If there is any way you can help me with this problem I would really appreciate it. 2- When the timer for the oven goes off, the oven does not turn off, it goes back to the set baking temperature. So what is the use for the timer. My cake was over cooked (Thankfully not burnt) because I relied on the timer while doing something else outside the kitchen. Again Thank you and I hope I will get a feedback that will help me like this appliance.
