Good but many issues
This is a good unit when it's working, but it is prone to blowing fuses easily and requiring the door switches to be replaced often. This can get expensive without a warranty. Disappointed in this product but when it's working works well.

Unique Microwave
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good product. Different than most microwaves since the door opens down (similar to an oven). It has a great look as well because it looks just like an oven. Only flaw is defrost options. I wish I could just defrost by selecting a time and or weight but instead I have to choose chicken, beef, etc. Sometimes I'm defrosting items that don't match up with the options.

Door & low wattage
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very hard to reach with the door up and down to open and the wattage is very low so it takes twice as long

Poor Quality
Would Not RecommendQuite working after 1.5 years and it was used lightly.. Gives off a sound like a transformer failure. Is BOSCH trying to succeed off of name only. Past microwaves I've own have lasted 10 years or more. What is the deal BOSCH? What are my options?

Nice!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love almost everything about my new Microwave. The only down side is that it does not have a swing right door to match my new oven and it is so deep that it is difficult to reach the back to clean. Love all the other features.

Large outside, small inside
Would RecommendLargest 110v built in that I could find to replace a 220V oven, and it successfully covered the hole. Not as strong or as large an interior as a much cheaper large countertop microwave.

Measure your device dimensions!!
Would Not RecommendWe ordered the 30” unit and Bosch decided to use the smaller capacity 27” oven but added braces to allow for the 30” face panel and door to be mounted to the smaller oven compartment. Very disappointed that you pay top dollar for a Bosch unit only to have them cut corners on manufacturing. The dimensions of the oven unit match perfectly to the 27” install manual specs. Meanwhile the face panel and door dimensions match perfectly to the 30” unit which is what we ordered.

Disappointing
The microwave is two months old. It's had two service calls and now the front panel has to be replaced. I purchased top of the line appliances expecting top of the line quality...disappointed!

Fit well - very efficient
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really like my new microwave oven - works well, easy to understand - my only comment is that the bell when cooking is finished is very very soft and if you are not standing nearby you will miss hearing it.

Exploded after 14 months
Would Not RecommendExploded and had a small fire from top panel after 14 months. I’m home one day a week with no kids. Tops I used it 50 times. I have never had a single issue with a microwave, but this expensive one stops working 2 months out of warranty. Start a class action now!!
