Not as high quality as expected from Bosch
4/5
I am very impressed that this heats so quickly, however there are a few bits I preferred on my old oven that this doesn't have; the alarm doesn't sound all that much (about 8 small beeps) and it doesn't turn the oven off, in some ways a good thing, but if you don't hear the alarm and are forgetful/busy like I am often, it is reassuring when you know the oven will stop when the alarm goes whether you hear it or not...not the case with this oven!
Secondly the buttons are cheaper, it doesn't feel as good quality as the Zanussi oven we replaced, which is surprising - I always associate Bosch with high quality.
Lastly, and this is a small but valid point - red lighting for the time?! Ew. Sadly now doesn't match the top microwave/grill we have which has standard white lighting... Never mind.
It does what it says though and the main benefit is that it doesn't trip the electrics when we use the grill, which is a massive benefit over the last oven!!! ;-)
