We replaced a JenAir range with this Bosch model. We did not have any experience with the Bosch brand but after extensive research we went with this Bosch model and we are glad we did.
The performance is fabulous, it looks great in our kitchen, and we love all of the features.
I had never used convection before but now I use it quite often, usually to bake cookies or to cook frozen pizzas for the kids. I have only used the warming drawer once to keep appetizers warm during a party. It was great to be able to whip out a plate of hot apps half way through the party.
I would highly recommend this oven. Based on this purchase we will replace our dishwasher with a Bosch in the near future.

I bought this for my home several years ago and loved it. Nice big oven. Easy clean cook top. My cheese cakes came out perfectly. Now that I have moved I will need to buy a second and without another thought.

We didn't know what to think about Bosch when we came across this oven/rangetop (in white), but were immediately struck by the retro look, 5-element broiler, and knobs easily-accesible on the *front* of the range.

The price is quite reasonable for the quality and look. So we took the leap and purchased a floor model. This is a great oven!

It suggests a 40-50 amp circuit breaker. We used a 50-amp breaker with a 30 ft. run of 8-gauge wire and the 3-prong pigtail connector from Home Depot (heavy-duty, $24, slotted -- not the one with an L-shaped prong). It is 30" wide at the widest point and fit into an opening just an eighth of an inch wider than 30". There are leveling adjustments on the legs and comes with a floor mount to slide one of the back legs into to stabilize the oven, which jiggles slightly when the door is opened, without it.

The result is plenty of juice to to heat with. The burners heat up to a glowing red within 5 seconds. Impressive, compared to the old electric range we replaced with this Bosch.

The Controls:

The dials are great. Easy to turn, and for the two burners with multiple rings, allow the size of the hot part of the burner to be controlled.

The oven, timers, and warming drawer are controlled by touch-type controls and a single dial at the back of the range. We had trouble with the Timer button registering a push, but that may be a fluke with this model only. A repairman is on his way to check it out.

To turn on the oven requires 3 or 4 pushes, turns of the dial. Not bad. Get's fast with practice. And it's very nice to be able to set the "done" time and cooking time and have the oven figure out what time it needs to turn on to have the meal ready at the given time.

The warming drawer has two settings, is stainless steel, and may be used independently of the oven, if desired.

We are very pleased with this oven. We like how it looks (again, we prefer the white) and works.
