I've just remodeled my kitchen and had this unit installed. I've been cooking with it for about a month. Overall, the quality of the oven/microwave is quite good:
* it preheats quickly
* the extra deep pull over rack is handy
* the convection microwave is quite useful for small cooking tasks

There are a few small things that seem a bit silly, but are driving me crazy:
1) The oven beeps are extremely loud, I had to turn them off as the entire house could hear me turning on the oven
2) Every *single* button press on the oven panel is delayed by 1/2 a second. You keep thinking the unit isn't turned on but it's just slow! You'd think a $3000 oven would be able to respond to button presses.

I even called the support department and asked about anything I could do to help the situation. A very nice woman that worked for Bosch explained that this is a common complaint, she unfortuantely had no suggestions. As the unit is already installed in my home and is basically working, it's a bit hard to return at this point so I'll just live with it but I wanted others to know about these unfortunate design flaws.

buy bosch at your own risk, they dont stand behind warranty repairs even when a unit has a history of consistent problems- go GE or Kenmore, ovens have computer board issues
