I've only been using this for a bit over a month now. Microwave popcorn, defrosting stuff, heating up stuff all works. I've made some cookies and they turn out just fine using convection and conventional oven settings. Re heated some onion rings using the broiler. No problems. My only complaint is with my contractor, I wish he would have mounted this higher in the cabinet. See picture.

So far soo good. I've used this as both a microwave and convection oven so far. No problems at all. Do to space restrictions, this was mounted close to the floor.
Sorry, I don't a better picture at this time.

Remarkably under-powered microwave - this replaced an aging and inexpensive table top microwave that was holding the fort down until our kitchen remodel was complete. In the 2 months of use it’s proven simply to take longer to cook items of all types which makes it tough to follow any package directions to cook things, has the longest time to pop microwave popcorn (and you burn the popcorn trying to get more than half a bag popped at 3 minutes) and generally I expected a lot more for 2k. I’d recommend another brand or maybe this style of combination oven just doesn’t work that well. Looks nice though…

Works fine. Turntable didn’t turn once and I moved it, then started working again. Only issue is, lack of a trim kit. First time ive ever had a built-in without one. This is my 4th. Still looking for a trim kit.

Do not buy! The warranty is only valid for a year and the door switches burn out in a little more than a year. Already replaced it twice in less than 3 years of usage, and this last time it cost $321. I even replaced all three switches each time, since the additional parts cost vs labor was not that much more. Never buying a Bosch anything again!

My Bosch “speed oven” was installed about 2-1/2 months ago but I’ve not used the convection mode yet, just the microwave. As that, it’s been excellent and seems very well built. My only two criticisms are:
(1) As other reviewers have noted, the chime at the end of the operation is just about inaudible because it’s drowned out by the fan, which usually continues to run for a little while more.
(2) The clock could be easier to set. Why couldn’t Bosch have provided one that got the time automatically, like various other things around my house do? And so I don’t have to go back to the manual to change it for daylight savings time start and end?

It is so nice to have one appliance with both microwave and convection oven capabilities. Both operations work very well.

Bought a Bosch 500 series speed oven July 2018. In October it blew a quarter sized hole in the glass door. Bosch took two months to replace it. The replacement 500 series speed oven just blew a SILVER DOLLAR size hole through BOTH door glass panes!!!
