Horrible product with annoying features
1/5
I absolutely hate this oven! Do not buy if you know how to cook and don't want the oven to dictate the way you do it. Checked before purchasing the range of temperature, as I regualrly bake pizzas and bread and need around 270 degrees. It said it went from 50-275, however it only stays at any temperature above 250 for 10 minutes , then automatically drops to ''approximately'' 240. I spoke to Bosch and was told there was no way to change this, and that is was for Energy Efficiency and Safety. I think I'm old enough to judge that for myself. What's the point of having a maximum temperatuer if you're not allowed to use it? The ''3D Hot Air'' kind of floats around the oven , yes, it cooks things, but nothing sizzles, nothing crisps - it's like cooking in a very gentle microwave . My heart sinks as I approach it as I have no idea how long anything is going to take nor if it will cook properly. The instructions tell you that all settings are for putting food into a cold oven! What?? Nobody puts food into a cold oven, that's ridiculous. I've had this thing for 2 weeks now and I'm avoiding using it, so I guess in that way Bosch has made me save Energy. My advice is stay away from this product.
