Bosch Steam Oven - Series 8[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have purchased Bosch Series 8 dishwasher which works extraordinary compared to other vendors I was using for last 10 years. This dishwasher is very silent and very powerful. It uses very less water and energy compared to other products in the market where I had drastic reduce in daily water and electricity usage with this model. I specifically picked Series 8 as they are built in Germany and made for Quality. The machine was extremely silent and dries up my vessels without leaving any water marks. I highly recommend purchasing this product which is a great value for money and build quality.

Perfect results[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've put this oven through it's paces since it was recently installed in our new kitchen.
A celebratory family lunch today was made easy preparation if succulent roast pork with crispy cracking, perfectly roasted vegetables and a starter of Jalapeno Poppers, all ready with a minimum of fuss. This oven not only works so well, it enhances the look of our kitchen and is simple to clean. Recommended without hesitation.

Seems to have lots of functions[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The controls seem a bit complicated so far but not sure we are using the oven to its ability yet. A hard copy user guide with the oven would have been nice without all the cost and inconvenience to download it and print it out. A list of receipies and how to use the oven would have been a great tutorial while learning to use the oven would be helpful.

svelte design with great range of functionality[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought as a replacement - fit seamlessly into 60 kitchen space - svelte balck design and large control screen. Love the ability to use steam as often cook over a steam bath and this function makes that unnecessary - also in built air fryer - saves space in pantey by not having to have a free standing unit. Great runners. Pyrolitic cleaning

Best oven, always delivers great results[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second Bosch oven with steam and thermometer, I recently moved house and had to leave my Bosch oven behind. The first thing I did was go out and purchase a new one. My cooking never fails now, no more dry roasts etc.

New Oven[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So simple to use. The home connect works great. Look up the type of meal you want to cook or heat up and it sets up everything. Just put your food in and set it off. Too easy. A very user friendly oven with great features.
