Bosch - 800 Series 4.6 Cu. Ft. Self-Cleaning Slide-In Electric Convection Range - Stainless steel

I had previously owned a gas Bosch which I adored. After buying an all electric home, I was baffled as to what to buy. I read reviews for all the higher end brands - GE Profile, Kenmore Elite, but the only brand beloved by all the reviewers was this Bosch. Yes, it is $2,000. Yes it is a true Drop In range, meaning your cabinets must be built around it . I would never own anything but a drop in as you have no "gunk" between your range and cabinets because there is no space. You can still pull the range out to clean the floors but the clean look is so high end and worry free. The range is fantastic. It took me FOUR full weeks to pull the lever on this decision, but I am so happy. It works fantastically, the heat on the range top is very even. The top is easy to clean and the "push" bottom drawer is really nice. If I ever need an electric range again, this is the ONLY one I would buy.

Love the dual burner (either small or large pan), I use it all the time. The warming burner is perfect for those recipes that say "keep warm" while you do something else top stove. Like the option of using convection baking/roasting. Although I haven't had the opportunity to use the warming oven, I appreciate the push-to-open arrangement, rather than having a protruding handle to hit an ankle on. Love the glass top--elegant.

The oven is fine except for the fan which stays on for a long time . The cooktop is a disaster. When cooking on medium or low, it does not cycle on and off to maintain temperature; instead , half the element shuts down completely. You end up with food at full boil in half the pot and not cooking in the other half. What kind of engineering is that?

The Range is beautiful and after a week and a half I have no complaints with the Range although it was not my first choice (which was another Bosch a higher model and not carried by Best Buy). I have not used it as much as I would have liked because of issues with Best Buy’s third party installers. I paid extra for a slide-in rack and would have purchased a temperature probe if I could have.

It has an auto convection bake converter. The warming drawer is a kick spring drawer. My hands get fl and then I gently kick the drawer and it springs open to put cooked food in the warmer! Fantastic! And the fast preheat come in handy all the time...don't forget to tap the button with the lightning bolt for fast preheat :)

I owned the prior model but we moved homes. This model is even better. It is still a wonderful performer and beautiful. Now it has metal knobs. The only thing it is missing that I had before was the plug in meat thermometer (which I only used at Thanksgiving).

The control panel has so many options that you need to study the manual if you plan to use them all. Regardless, its a stunning high-end appliance from a reliable maker. If you are stuck with electricity as a fuel then I recommend this range.

I was looking for a slide in range and found it. It was more expensive but I liked the style. Unfortunately the technical description was not accurate and I had to re-do electrical outlet twice, which was costly and time consuming.
