Bosch - 500 Series 30" Built-In Double Electric Wall Oven with True Convection - Stainless Steel

It’s an awesome oven. The top oven has convection bake and many other settings. Bottom is not convection. It took 9 months for the oven to arrive due to supply issues.

We’re so unhappy we returned it and got a different brand. Cook times are longer than expected. The fan blows out so much cool air that it cools all the food thats sent out on the kitchen island before we can eat. The fan is also too loud. The Best Buy site said that it had telescopic racs. It does not. The Bosch website shows the telescopic racks are not included. Takes longer to preheat than expected and there is not a preheat countdown timer. The clock disappears when cooking. The positives are that it looks great, the nobs are easy to turn, and the internal light is bright. I own MANY Bosch tools in my garage. They’re fantastic, but I’ll never buy another Bosch appliance.

This has been in for less than a week, and I have used a few times, so not really an accurate review yet. I love the look and style of these ovens. The new ovens are much bigger than the one I had before, even though they were both 30". New designs and updates. Only the top is convection and does all the fancy stuff, but frankly, I don't see why you would need both doing all the extra modes. Some of the directions are confusing, there is a way to recalculate the oven temperature if you find it off, but I can't figure it out and will have to call Bosc Customer Service to walk me through. I think mine are a bit OVER temperature, or maybe I need to relearn some baking techniques. I got into habits from poor past ovens and working with portables. The only gripe I have right now is that the touch pad is 'touchy'. They tell you you must use the center of the pad and use the pad of your finger. Well, I seem to not be able to do that correctly, and have to keep reentering. Again, I guess I just have to learn again.

We got the 500 instead of 800 because it had knobs to control functions. It still has some leds to display temp but numbers are very large. No need for glasses to work controls! Ovens are very high quality and cook very uniformly. We got the wider 30 inch unit which is very spacious but did require cabinet mods

This took from December to April to arrive. It is somewhat bigger than expected. We replaced a double wall oven with the same dimensions and it was a really tight fit. Also, the screws that should have been used to install it were too small.
