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

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).

Great Oven

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.

Love the rotary switches

Oven is quiet, cooks great, cool dimming light, very bright display. But best is the intuitive rotary dials for most controls - MUCH better than all digital confusing controls that you have to lean over and read to adjust.

The oven functions very well and looks great. Two things keep it from being 5 stars: It doesn't include a roll out rack which I feel is really lame and cheap for an oven in this price range. Also it is not easy to see at a glance if the oven is on. A simple red indicator light would have been great. Otherwise, cooks fine and the temps are accurate.
