Thanks for the three-year ownership update. We refitted our kitchen last year, all Bosch including the Serie 8 oven, oven combi and warming drawer in a tower housing. The build quality is excellent, results are superb and they look great. They’re not cheap but, generally in life, you get what you pay for. You’re right about many of the features being superfluous but isn’t that true of any high-end products (our Serie 8 flex-induction hob is the same). In the end it’s all about the quality, the touch-it experience when you open the door, press a button or slide out the rack. We have a second home in Como, Northern Italy and it came with (brace yourself)….. Candy appliances. Believe me, the difference in build quality is profound - we’ve already needed to replace the oven door seal and repair a sagging upper heating element. This is when you realise just how cheaply these low-end appliances are designed and built. 20mins after getting back to the apartment, we’re still waiting for the Candy to have reached its cook heat. The Bosch typically is ready in less than five minutes, such that we don’t even bother with the remote wifi startup on our way home. There’s no need as it’s so fast. Anyway, thank you again because your videos really helped us choose this model and understand the functionality properly (the manuals are not easy to follow). You are passionate about this, you have an authentic way of explaining it all and for that we love you! Enjoy your lovely kitchen and the time you spend in it. BTW, the quality of your tiling is excellent with a great choice of tile etc. Best wishes.

Thanks for the feedback! I haven’t posted in a while and really need to get back on it. I remember the days when all I could afford were the entry level options! lol! Cheaper to buy new than repair! I still don’t use many of the features, but I try too. Like you said, it’s more about build quality for me, but I do like a good gadget!!

Thanks for the amazing review! I am also looking at the steam version of the new 8 series (touch screen only) vs some Miele options like 7264 or 7464. I did not decide yet, so few reviews of ovens :) Still, your videos helped a lot, especially since baking is the most interesting part about our cooking, hearing that auto bake is flawless helps a lot!

Hi and thanks once again for your videos! Good to see you back! I really enjoyed your previous reviews of this oven. Unfortunately the model is no longer available. Can you make another video of the oven in action?

Thank you! I’ve seen the replacement models, looks ok! I will do some more videos of it in action.

Yeah for sure if you could make a video on every separate piece of glass taking it in and taking it out would be great

I want to know when using one of the programs. Do you weigh only the food or dish as well? It says to use a glass casserole with lid and to put in total weight. Not only the weight of the food 2:47
@everythingandthekitchensink3 ай бұрын
It’s the weight of the food. The dish does not matter. The glass casserole with lid is the Bosch special dish that you can buy to cook food in. I don’t have that so would put it in another dish with foil for a lid and the weight would be the weight of the food, not dish.

Thanks for the review. Really interesting. Question - forgetting the price and alternatives, how would you rate it in terms of ease of use and quality? I've got this and the combination micro being installed right now. For various reasons, I didn't have time to research and evaluate my options so just went with a higher priced model from a brand I like. Just want to know if I've bought some decent?
@everythingandthekitchensink11 ай бұрын
Oh you have a great oven! It’s easy to use and very high quality! You may not use all the features, overall it’s a very well made high end oven on par with the other high end brands.

@@everythingandthekitchensink hey, thanks for the reply. Great to know they're good quality, even if I won't use all the features. I'm still waiting for the kitchen to be finished... seems to be taking forever. The units are in place but not powered yet... the wait is killing me.

We have the model CMG656BS1 and the control board has failed.... they think! Microwave function turns off before its programmed time (within a few seconds of starting). Just been quoted £400 to supply and replace the module. Wondering whether it's worth it or buy a new combi.

I had a big repair bill for my dryer, so I just brought the new one instead! Suppose it depends on whether you need new or can keep current one for many more years and repair
@bozeghaleh5713Ай бұрын
The most important issue with all high-end Bosch ovens is that they do not allow you to use silicone molds or sheets. Almost all professional pastry chefs use high-end silicone molds and Silpat, Silpain, or Exoglass products to make perfect tart shells, biscuits, macarons, cakes, etc. However, Bosch strictly limits you from using them in any oven with a perfect bake sensor. Miele, Gaggenau, Wolf, and other high-end brands do not have this problem, and they all can bake as well as Bosch, if not better, and have many more options and precise control. Therefore, in my opinion, Bosch is not worth it.

Do you add weight of just the food or the weight of casserole as well. It says Total weight for the beef casserole program
@everythingandthekitchensink3 ай бұрын
Hi! I have never actually used assist for this. But I would weigh the casserole not the dish. And use that as the weight. This would be the same when cooking meat, it wants to know the weight of meat, not the total weight of the dish too.

That’s a shame! I’ve had a few issues but overall I like the oven. Let thing for me is it’s precise temp handling when I’m baking
