Bosch 800 Series 1.6-cu ft 1000 -Watt 29.75-in Built-In Microwave ( Stainless Steel )

Major Reliability Issue

This is a great oven that is very versatile and easy to program. The problem is that it is chronically unreliable. The electrical switches (switch group 12038730 according to our repairman) burn out a couple of times each year. We are now on our 7th burn-out, awaiting parts and repair since the unit was installed. The unit is also integrated with a Bosch Convection Oven (Model HBL8454UC/02), so that is also out of service when the switch group burns out. We have all Bosch appliances in our ...

Great Microwave

Hoping for the best, our last microwavy(Bosch) had many issues, thanks to the support offered. We had it for 10 years! The technology has changed and so far we still love our Bosch!

Avoid this unit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So glad I looked at this review section when trying to find a fix for yet another issue with this unit. Have loved all of my other reliable Bosch products but this speed oven is an enigma - like the rest of the reviews, the display is unreadable, the turnstil starts sparking in use. I'm disappointed new purchasers are still finding these issues as I hoped they had made improvements.

Works well...when it works

3 year old microwave just completely died! This is NOT a fluke, look at all the other reviews. Do NOT get the microwave!

Nice looking oven but does not last, buyer beware

I purchased this wall convection/microwave and oven unit and 4 years into ownership the microwave/convection oven quite working due to bad door hinges and also the computer malfunctions within the oven. I paid the costly repair and both units worked for another 5 months and then they both went out again. In the 6 years I have owned this oven, the micro chips have gone out 4 times, one time being the week before Thanksgiving! This last time was the final straw and I am on a 3 week wait to ge...

Expected More

This is our 2nd Bosch 800 series microwave. The 1st unit had problems with the door micro switches. The 3rd time it failed, more was wrong. Too costly to repair. Had to purchase the another exact same one due to In cabinet dimensions. For the price we paid for the 1st high end Bosch, would have thought it should be better and last longer. Hope my second unit last longer. Good thing I had a 5 year warranty on the 1st unit. Anyway I hope my unit last much longer than 4 years. I paid for quality......

Sweet cooking

Replaced old with same model cause it looks great and works very well. But pricey.

Very pleased so far

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this speed oven as part oof our kitchen remodel. We are actually using it more than the range we purchased it seems. Enjoy the ease of use, heats well, reheat sensor is excellent. Very pleased wiith purchase. We did opt for the 240 v installation.

Failed within 3 years...

After less than 3 years the motherboard/display panel on this has gone bad, which is much shorter than should be expected of a company like this. Gremlins in the machine, it's randomly running through button presses and has actually turned itself on in convection mode during the night, which is dangerous. Figuring out what part #'s to order and finding them has been a bit of a nightmare. I would highly recommend avoiding this line as others have said.

Very disappointing

I thought Bosch was supposed to be a quality brand. Not so much anymore. This microwave is a disaster. The control board on this model goes bad due to poor quality capacitors and causes the display to gradually dim to black. This has been fixed twice. The turntable motor has needed to be replaced once and the door hinges had to be replaced. Jagged metal guards, creases and holes make the stainless steel interior a nightmare to clean. When you do clean, bring a flashlight;the light shuts off afte...
