    Never works
    Touch panel has been replaced 5 times in 8 years. now Bosch wont repair as it is out of warrenty. Don't waste your time with this brand as they string you along then fall short.

    Terrible - panel is a failed design
    I bought this a few years ago, and we've had to replace the front panel twice in that time. The circular twist panel gives up quickly, and it's very hard to rotate. The service engineer says it's not serviceable, just needs replacing every time. The touch sensitive buttons often don't detect the touch, and eventually cease to work entirely.

    Anticipation Can't Wait.
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are building a new home and my husband was blown away with what this oven can do. Perfect size for two easy to use and is amazing and this was just from the use in the shop prior to purchase. Can't wait to discover it all myself.
