Good oven, but a little noisy
Noise Hater
12/16/2021
We've had this oven for about four months, and it does a fine job cooking and baking. The problem is with the fan system that keeps the oven's electronics cool. The oven takes in air at the bottom and exhausts it through a slot just above the oven door. As the oven gets hotter and hotter, the fan speed gets continuously louder as it forces more air through the vent. After about 10 minutes, the air noise is loud enough to be annoying. But worse, the fan starts to emit a whistling or humming sound that is very annoying. These sounds can be easily heard from 20 feet away. Furthermore, when one uses convection mode, the internal convection fan turns on, and it also emits a noticeable humming sound. I recently heard a Kitchen Aid oven with a similar venting system, and it was significantly quieter, never emitting any whistling sound. The convection fan was also quieter. I had Bosch service come in to check it out, and they told me that this level of noise was normal. Normal or not, I don't like it. You'd think a company that can make the quietest dishwashers around could extend that talent to a quieter oven. Why should my oven be noisier than my dishwasher?

Bosch 27" Wall Oven

We replaced our double (over and under) convection wall oven with a Bosch 27" convection single wall oven. We like very much the mechanical knobs which don't show fingerprints (the "touch panel" LED switches on our prior double oven failed). We like the ease of operation and the stainless steel and the style and overall appearance of the oven front and interior lighting. The only small or minor comment is the amount of time it takes to warm up to the desired temperature.

Safety Issue
Chester

We are very concerned about the safety of this oven model and am disappointed how Bosch has delt with our concern.
This is what happened:
The oven was set to 350 and when the temperature as reached the food was placed in it.
Shortly after a buzzer sounded, the door locked, the controls were inoperative and E115 appeared on the display.
The oven and surrounding cabinet got extremely hot very quickly. The control knobs became so hot they couldn't be touched. During a typical clean cycle the knobs are normal temperature and there is no noticeable heat in the surrounding cabinet, so we were very concerned.
We turned off the breaker in the house panel, the oven cooled very slowly and the door lock didn't release.
A Bosch authorized service man came after a few weeks of waiting and indicated that a relay on the control board probably got stuck that would have kept the oven at the desired temperature. We asked why would this disable the controls ? We then asked what would have happened if we had not turned off the breaker? We did not get a clear answer. He did mention in an off handed way that one shouldn't leave the house with the oven on.
Very lucky we didn't step out when this occurred.
A stuck relay is one thing, but for this to also disable the 'off' controls and then allow the oven to get to dangerously high temperatures without an automatic shutdown appears to be a design flaw.

I bought the 500 series rather than the 800 series because I like the ease of using the knobs to set the oven temp and setting rather than the electronic touch screen. It's quick and easy. The 800 series has a temperature probe but I didn't think I would actually use or need it. I love the bright interior light and the accuracy of the temp. I've tested it with a thermometer inside and it's right on. I'm getting used to the convection oven setting cooking things faster than normal. So far I'm really happy with the purchase of this Bosch wall oven.

Exploded oven glass when used self cleaning
Shoufan

After first time used self cleaning, the interior glass exploded. It was 11/26/2020 around 6PM, the Thanksgiving Day. After we baked the turkey, thought to use this feature which I never tried since bought this oven. It was very scary in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner. Googled this incident, then found many many same explosions happened to many Bosch oven owners after using the self cleaning since 4 years ago in Houzz. I think Bosch should recall this product and send warning to the registered owners, retail stores, make them aware of this scenario.

27" oven

Well made quality oven that didn't take much time to install. Some items that need improving: the timer/ sound alarm is too soft to hear (even when close by). There is no light to show the oven is on. The slide-in racks are not roll-in. The selector knobs need updating(showing selection position at a glance see photo of my mod using fiber optic rods)

Broken Display Bosch 27" Wall Oven HBN5451UC/04
Nickname is Tom
1/18/2020
On Thursday, January 16, 2020, we had a Bosch 500 Series 27" Single Wall Oven, Model No. HBN5451UC/04, professionally installed along with a second convection wall oven, microwave, and a gas cooktop, all Bosch brand appliances. The four-digit LCD (liquid crystal display)-style display that shows time and temperature is missing the same line element for each digit. When all elements are lit with zeros, the display should show "00:00," but instead shows "66:66" except each "6" is reversed. The numbers "0," "4," "5," "6," "8," and "9," do not display correctly. Also, the oven arrived with what appeared to be shiny and black metallic shavings inside that could have easily been vacuumed as part of the manufacturing process before boxing the appliance for shipment to the consumer. FD No. 9911 00016, Manufactured in USA (no manufacturing date).

We replaced a 17 year old oven with thia Bosch model. A great oven and very easy to use with the large knob function and temp controls. Takes awhile to heat up but is accurate and cooks well. Very happy.
