At a Glance:
It’s pronounced bosh, and if you’re looking for a wall oven, it just might be the brand your kitchen is missing. But the more important question when it comes to selecting a Bosch oven is “Which one is best?”
Spoiler alert: that’s up to you to decide, but that doesn’t mean we can’t help you make that decision easier with some expert guidance. The answers you’re looking for can be found here as we take you on a tour of Bosch ovens. Along the way, we’ll cover features, prices, and the many oven styles you can choose from this catalog, plus three Bosch oven reviews to give you a glimpse at what this brand has to offer.
About Bosch
Surprising to many (including us), Bosch traces its origins back to 1886, not as an appliance manufacturer — but as an emerging auto brand. Although, once you’re familiar with Bosch appliances, all that makes sense. Today, Bosch continues to forge ahead with its spirit of careful engineering that started nearly 130 years ago, fusing its unique craft for detail with appliances that have been refined for ease of use and focus on simplifying duties around the home.
Bosch continues to dabble in the auto industry, but nowadays, the brand is recognized more for its suite of appliances for the kitchen and laundry. Carrying the torch of its fine German heritage, the Bosch name receives regular accolades. For instance, Bosch was recently recognized as an ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award for its dishwashers, laundry appliances, and refrigerators, while Bosch cooking appliances have caught the attention of prestigious names like celebrity chef Curtis Stone. Additionally, Bosch has been named the Most Trusted Kitchen Appliance Brandin a recent winning streak, solidifying the manufacturer as a top brand in its class.

Compared to other acclaimed appliances from Bosch, the brand’s line of wall ovens might not get as many awards or recognition, but that’s not to say they’re inferior. Instead, it’s important to remember Bosch’s roots: Europe. By that, we mean many of the design elements and dimensions were conceptualized with smaller European kitchens in mind. For instance, Bosch is one of few brands that offers 24” and 27” wall ovens along with standard 30” oven models.
This might seem like a tradeoff at first, but it’s a great value for shoppers who have smaller kitchens but don’t want to compromise quality for quantity. Let’s dive deeper into the catalog.
Bosch Oven Types
You’ll find the regular ovens (single, double) included in the Bosch oven lineup along with specialty models like combination microwave ovens, speed ovens, and even steam ovens. The regular American household will most likely prefer full-size 30” ovens, but if you’re a single or coupled household, the smaller ovens are still large enough to accommodate everyday cooking. The details are laid out below.
| Bosch Ovens | Oven Capacity (cu. ft.) | Available Series |
|---|---|---|
| Bosch 24” Ovens | 2.5–2.8 | 500 |
| Bosch 27” Ovens | 3.9 | 800 |
| Bosch 30” Ovens | 4.6 | 500, 800, Benchmark |
| Bosch Speed Ovens | 1.6 | 500, 800, Benchmark |
| Bosch Steam Ovens | 1.4 | Benchmark |
Bosch Oven Collections
These ovens are broken into three tiers, each varying in price and features. Recent rebranding has made the difference between each collection less than obvious, but here's what to expect when you compare Bosch ovens:
Bosch 500 Series Ovens
This introductory collection of ovens is a nod to the more classic user experience featuring knob controls (though some models use a digital panel) and Convection Pro with just two heat sources.
Bosch 800 Series Ovens
Bosch ovens from the 800 Series are generally more modern in design with touch controls and are upgraded with Genuine European Convection that uses three heat sources for quicker cooking.
Bosch Benchmark Ovens
Considered as Bosch’s premium line of appliances, Benchmark ovens also use Genuine European Convection along with TFT screen displays and sleek designs. These are the most suited for high-end kitchens.
The Bosch ovens price range appeals for shoppers with mid-end budgets. Basic models start at around $1,900, while premium ovens from Bosch can cost up to $6,900.
A Look at Bosch Oven Features
A big philosophy for Bosch is making products with simple user experiences. That’s not to say they’re obsolete, but instead, these ovens focus on what works and leave out what doesn’t. Take a closer look at the gears behind the machines and why users and appliance experts give them top ratings.
Genuine European Convection: An additional third heating element provides even more hot air to fully surround every level with convection for the best baking results; available on select Bosch 800 Series and Benchmark ovens.

3 Best Bosch Oven Reviews
Here are three Bosch oven styles from our catalog that represent the best of their categories. Note that we’ve selected our picks from the 800 Series. If you like what you see but want to move up or down in price, make sure to explore the Bosch 500 or Bosch Benchmark collections for alternatives.
Best Bosch Double Oven: Bosch 800 Series 30" Stainless Steel Electric Built In Double Oven
When buyer reviews “I would recommend the 800 series double wall oven,” like you, we ask “Why?” But it doesn’t take much inspection to get it. Everything you need for a successful dinner is at your disposal on this model, from a ton of oven space to Genuine European Convection that cooks your food how it should be. Throw in Bosch’s flush installation, a beautiful display of stainless steel, and 12 cooking modes and it’s no wonder this top-rated Bosch convection oven is received so well.
Best Bosch Microwave Oven Combo: Bosch 800 Series 30" Stainless Steel Electric Built In Oven/Micro Combo
Buyers say “This oven and micro unit is clean and well designed,” while others comment on performance, saying, “The power that both of these appliances have is insane.” For that reason, we give two thumbs up to this combination microwave oven our top kudos and recommendation if you’re searching for a cooking station that lets you free up counter space. Our favorite features? Convection Pro that bakes food evenly, 10 microwave settings to help with a variety of foods, and the Home Connect that allows users to manage this appliance wherever a connected smart device is available.
⭐Featured Bosch HBL87M53UC Review:“After using a variety of different brands over the years, I'm extremely pleased with this unit - finally an oven that preheats quickly, provides consistent temperature, and looks great in the ktichen without taking up too much space.”
Best Bosch Speed Oven: Bosch 800 Series 30" Stainless Steel Built In Speed Oven
While buyers agree this speed oven from Bosch could use better lighting and the door design may be awkward for some, its performance is undeniable, or as one buyer declares, “The Bosch 800 series Speed Oven is everything they claimed.” With the ability to bake and microwave, this is a convenient way to replace your counter microwave oven while simultaneously adding more oven capacity to your kitchen’s layout.
On a spectrum of performance, style, and price, Bosch leans comfortably toward the luxury end without crossing over. Often, we compare Bosch to more familiar brands such as KitchenAid, GE Café, and Frigidaire Professional for buyers to get a better picture of who Bosch is. However, thanks to its unique German background, ovens from Bosch are less tech-heavy and more about an intuitive user experience.
