Totally crap product I would never trust bosch again. I don't know whether it deserves one star also. I failed again and again. I will never buy any Bosch product in future and I will refrain my friends too.

Worst ever product made by Bosch !

Only looks good and the feature that it can act as an oven + microwave is attractive
Other than that, this is a mere showpiece. Within two years, two major repairs and customer service is horrible max !!! Very basic design flaw - If we open the oven door by mistake while it is running, then oven simply breaks down. It has to be handledvery delicately. And sometime even after being very careful, if it decides to break down , it simply breaks down. And there is no way to know the reason because Bosch customer service takes its own sweet time to repair. Three months waiting time to repair a small issue. Simply not worth buying this product. With money, comes quality, they say. But with Bosch products, with money, comes only trouble.

Bad design and prone to failure

We brought a Bosch Speed oven trusting the quality in Bosch. But its 2nd time in 3 years that the switch on the door has failed. The failure mode is so common that one of the technician diagnosed this without looking into the failure.
It is a shame that Bosch has let this design go by and even more surprised that there are no class action lawsuits on this failure.
I am spending $300-$350 for a fix every time the switch breaks (which is once a year). Bosch should be ashamed to put such a poor quality product in the market. Please do not buy this product if you don't want to keep spending money, do not buy this.

Bosch Speed Oven
Bosch Speed Oven Rocks!

Bosch provided an awesome solution for me!! I wanted a double oven, however my space only allowed a microwave over a single oven, that is until I found the Bosch Speed oven! This oven is a combination microwave and oven with broiler too! I love it! I get the best of both all in one appliance, so now I get my double oven and still a microwave too! Kudos to Bosch!!

Never had Bosch products before but have been very disappointed with this high end microwave. Paid almost $2000 for it on 08/04/2018 and within 3 years had the fuse burn ($150 service call), door sensor failed ($200), door spring hinge failed ($400) AND last night it lost all power!!! I would have expected this from a $99 microwave from walmart NOT Bosch. Called Bosch to address this no resolution yet. :(

We loved it until it died after only 2 years

The Speed Oven was great until it died after only two years. In-home service technician determined that it needs more than $500 in parts, which have not been and will not be, available for months. Even then there is no guarantee that other components won't need replacing as well.
Sadly we had not purchased the rather expensive extended warranty. Replaced the oven with a regular microwave oven

Buyer Beware - 2nd repair required in 2 years time
Diane
1/25/2021
We purchased 3 Bosch appliances when we remodeled in Fall of 2018 - the speed oven, electric cooktop, and wall oven. The speed oven first stopped working within the first 2 months (issue was with the electrical panel), and was repaired under warranty. A little over a year later it started malfunctioning again (it will spontaneously turn itself off when cooking). The warranty only covers 12 months so this is now a repair that will be out of pocket. We have paid for a $200 service call already and learned today that the part we need (thermal protector) will cost us $300 (hence $500 total for the repair). This is on top of the $900 part that we need to repair the Bosch electric cooktop, which has ALSO stopped working just shy of 2 years after the original purchase. The appliances are beautiful and work great when they actually work but this is hugely disappointing given the amount of time I spent looking at different options prior to finally selecting Bosch for our cooking appliances.
Unbelievably bad experience.

DO NOT BUY
Not a Happy Customer
11/24/2020
We purchased this microwave along with the matching wall oven new in 2015 for our new home construction. The cabinets where custom sized to accommodate this microwave. Like everyone the display had issues and slowly dimmed overtime to be non-existent. After some google searching I decided to purchase a new panel ($200 plus) thinking that Bosch would have corrected the display issue…..nope but at least it worked….for a little while that is. We are on our 4th repair for various things. Door switch, melted fuse harness, etc. and now it is broken again. Sadly I purchased a $35 dollar microwave after the first issue that now has a permanent place on the counter due to the unreliableness of this product. We are debating on what to do, shell out more money for repairs or try to find a replacement unit that will hopefully be close to matching the oven unit. The problem with going with another brand is the dimensions of the cut out does not make it easy to find something that will fit.
If anyone know of another brand similar in dimensions and look, please let me know.

THANK YOU for your build-in microwave! I am amazed at the huge upgrade your built-in microwave brings to my kitchen and cooking! It is beautiful, roomy, and the Sensor Reheat button is such a gift! I simply place my leftover dish inside, press Sensor Reheat and know I will have a perfectly reheated dish! The design is sleek and sophisticated.

Worst appliance we have EVER owned!

We bought this model November of 2018. as part of a whole kitchen remodel. In December 2019, 1 month after warranty expired, the display went blank so we had to replace the filter fuse unit ($250). In September 2020 the display goes out again and this time the door switches and filter fuse were replaced ($310). Today, November 2020, the display is blank, AGAIN, and I just rescheduled a 3rd service visit. I am going to start my search for a different brand to replace this piece of crap!

Bosch speed oven an exception to Bosch reputation
Ex Bosch Fan

Third service call this year: fuses, door lock, wiring fault. The speed oven isn't living up to the robust performance of our other Bosch kitchen appliances. It's like the problem child of the Bosch family.
Also of concern for those considering buying this unit are design defects. The display is too dim and the alarm audio too weak. The interior is too deep to reach back into and clean, for which it should have a side-opening door.
Biggest problem of all? Bosch not taking responsibility, neither for design faults nor for frequent failures. This unit has cost us too many service visits - not just $ but also time.

VERY disappointed with reliability!!

I am a Bosch associate that proudly purchased the HMC87151UC 27" speed oven in March 2017, only to have to have it repaired (1) less than (1) year later. At this time, I thought this was not so bad an investment to repair something that I assumed was a latent quality issue, where I hoped to have many more years of service from it. In May of 2020, the display became very dim but the appliance continued to heat properly, so I thought not a big deal. But early July, the appliance stopped working completely. I had a certified Bosch repair service come to my house today, and his analysis is that the control circuit board is not working. I am waiting on the estimate for the replacement board, and repair cost now - but very upset with the poor reliability of this $1000+ appliance! The Bosch warranty is only 1 year, which the repair person said he was surprised that items like the control board were not covered for (5) years. Since I have a large cutout (20" x 27") in my cabinet to accommodate the Bosch design, I have limited options on replacement appliances if they are not Bosch. Can someone contact me to provide some reduced rate on a replacement??

Short Life Expectancy for an Expensive Product
Rose

We purchased the microwave 11/2018 and it died 6/2020 - only 1 year and 7 months later! Really?????
During its brief lifespan, the microwave worked very well, but there is room for some definite design improvements. The door opens top to bottom and the microwave is very deep. It was extremely awkward to clean and at times to use. The panel light was barely visible and the alert tones way too subtle. My Bosche oven opens from the side - an amazingly convenient option and the panel light is much brighter (the alert tones are still too subtle though).

Great microwave, could use louder alerts
Maggie

This is a nice, powerful microwave. It is good looking, easy to use, and has many settings and some nice options, including convection. I would have given it a 5 star rating if only the alerts (the ding when it's done, timer) were more audible. As it is, the alerts are not very loud, even with the higher volume setting. Also the illumination on the the control panel is not very bright. (I also have the Bosch oven and it does not have these issues.)
Note that the door opens from top to bottom. If you have it installed above an oven and are not tall (like me!), it can be difficult to get things in and out of the oven.

Bosch keeps making lemons year after year

My unit is new (installed today and manufactured in Sept 2019 - about 7 months ago). The display is turned to max brightness but is still very dim. The red items are almost unnoticeable. If you read the reviews, it's clear that these problems were reported 3 years ago. On the phone with the appliance repair shop that provides Bosch warranty service, I hear that there are _many_ such complaints about the display and amazement that Bosch has not addressed this. Why does it seem that Bosch has not fixed what's a well-known longstanding manufacturing and/or design issue?? It is disappointing to see Bosch declining from a brand with superior products to one that does not even seem able to correct well-understood major issues within its product line. It's not just this oven that seems to be having trouble, it's the brand.
On the bright side, it was rather easy to get Bosch support on the phone and the guy who answered was very professional.
The reason I bought this unit is that it was the only one I could find that filled the space in a cabinet that housed my old 1990s microwave.
I do like the styling. The stainless steel exterior is _super_ thin sheet metal bent (in the case of the control panel) over plastic. It is easily dented. This suggest that Bosch is now positioning itself as a maker of less durable consumer items.
But if possible I would stay away from Bosch or any other brand that doesn't correct major product design/mfg issues.

My 800 Series Speed oven has not been good since day one. It's sensor reheat never worked and after less than two years in service the turntable tray stopped rotating. Light your hair on fire and run away. Did I mention that the matching I've has already had a service call too. Talk about a declining brand, Bosch is it.

Disappointing Bosch prodict
Victoria
3/4/2020
This is a review of the model that preceded this model. I purchased HMC87151UC in December 2016. It looked beautiful and fit in nicely with my renovation of my kitchen. After one year, the display became very dim. I had that repaired. After another year, in 2018, the microwave function stopped working. That repair was effective for another year, and then the microwave stopped working again. I had it repaired again. Then, 3 months later, the microwave stopped working again. This has been a very disappointing experience with a product, that, because it is a Bosch product, just did not perform up to the brand reputation. I don't believe that there was sufficient quality control in the manufacture of this model. I feel very let down.
