Bosch - 800 Series 1.6 Cu. Ft. Built-In Microwave - Stainless steel

We like our speed oven. It looks great, has a solid feel to it, and gets the job done in all operating modes. The user manual is easy to follow. However... Problem #1 -- This appliance has a VERY WEAK alert sound even when MAX volume has been selected. This makes the Speed Oven's time functions useless and requires a separate kitchen timer. Less expensive microwaves have pleasant, loud alerts and will even sound a delay reminder if food is left too long in the microwave after completion of a heat cycle. Bosch does not offer this feature. Problem #2 -- The installation manual could be improved by illustrating the attached outlet plug and offering an example of what an appropriate 20-amp receptacle should look like that will accept Bosch's VERY UNUSUAL plug. I completely understand why Bosh supplied their unique 20-amp plug but I for one have never seen a plug like that even though, as it turned out, my receptacle accept such a unique plug. Problem #3 - Bosch does NOT offer a 27” matching drawer. They only offer a warming oven. This forces customers to either upscale to a warming oven they don't need or put up with mismatched cabinets. Since I needed to fit the speed oven into an existing 27" opening, I did not have the flexibility to simply specify a 30" cabinet on a new installation. Problem #4 – Since this is a microwave-oven combination, if the oven features are being used then the kitchen will not have an available microwave.

works as advertised. wish it had a timer on the convection settings.

Really enjoyed buying these appliances on our new build home

In September 2015 I bought Bosch HMC801151 UC that is not available any more. Two years ago the control panel stopped working. Now there is no heat and the turn table stopped turning. It was supposed to be a good and reliable product that I spent the money on. Now I assume that HMC801152 UC replaces HMC801151 and I am not sure I will buy it. The main problem is this a built-in microwave that fits in a right size of the cabinet opening. To find another unit that fits in that opening will be a challenge. I am wondering if HMC801152 is better than HMC801151 assuming that they fixed the problems.

Was looking for a Microwave for my new bar and Bosch made it easy.

We love this compact microwave and speed oven. Super quiet and very stylish

Easy installation. Combo microwave and convection so it's a space saver. Easy to use.

Love the look of this microwave/convection oven, bought for kitchen redesign.
