Great Stove
The Guy Cleaning the Stov
11/12/2019
We love this stove. It performs as advertised and is easy to clean. The grates are not reversable like my other one was. In moving them around I discovered that the stainless steel top is very easy to scratch. I am careful when I clean the stove but none the less, it is scratching. I do like how easy it is to keep clean though but am concerned what this will look like in a few years.

The Bosch Benchmark Dual-Fuel range has been everything we hoped it would be. Sleek, powerful, and well designed, but still within our budget.

We've had our new range for just over a month now and couldn't be happier with our choice to get the Bosch Benchmark Dual fuel-slide in range. It has surpassed our expectations.

I did a lot of research before I bought my range. I had lived with a not so good major brand before I retired but now I'm cooking so much more I wanted the perfect range and this one is it. I couldn't be happier with the gas burners and the oven. I don't have a single complaint or suggestion. Thank you Bosch!

A few issues...
NYC HDL

In general, this range works OK, but there are a few issues...
- The front panel has flanges that prevent the range from sliding all the way in, so there is a large 2" gap at the rear where it should be flush against the wall. I used wadded-up aluminum foil to fill-in this gap.
- After igniting a burner, the knob adjusts 180 degrees from high to low, however, the flame stays high for the first 135 degrees of rotation, leaving only 45-degrees of rotation for actual flame control. This does not allow fine-tuning of the flame intensity. This issue might be unique to the modification kit for propane fuel versus natural gas; I had a Bosch technician out to correct this, and after about an hour, he said no adjustments were possible.
- The front-right burner extinguishes when opening or closing the oven door; the technician was unable to correct this, either...
Aside from these issues, the range otherwise performs OK. I would give a 5-Star rating if these last two issues could be corrected.

We have had the range for a couple of months now, we absolutely love it. We just switched to gas and love how fast and easy the range top is to clean. We haven't used the oven, except for broiling or reheating pizza, seems to work very well. I will leave it at that for now, if I find anything good or bad, I will add to this review later. BUY THIS STOVE, ITS AWESOME!

We really looked at and considered so many different ranges and I couldn't be happier with the Bosch Benchmark! The stove burners are great-lots of power when we need it. Good solid grates-makes it feel like a professional stove. So far, the oven has been performing very well. I'm looking forward to using all the different settings.

We bought this 6 weeks ago and have been very pleased with the cooktop and oven. Works and looks great! Cooktop is natural gas and oven is electric- our house was built with 220 Electric and Gas connection so getting a dual fuel was great option for us.

I received this appliance 3 days ago, and I can tell it's a great appliance. the oven heats fast, and remains at the selected temperature. I don't know how I've survived without the warming drawer! it is also a great feature. Cleaning the outside of the stove is easy, even though it is not fingerprint free. I haven't used the self clean feature yet, but I'm sure it easy. All in all, the appliance is easy to use, and I'm glad I purchased it.

Turn it on and we're cooking... Turn it off and it stops... So tired of electric... Plenty of room on stove top... Produces variety of heat with 5 burners... People like the looks and ask what kind of stove we have... Learning to use the variety of oven modes... Works great with propane... Had to replace a burner nozzle not working right and fixed per warranty... Didn't think we would use the bottom warmer but we really like it now.

Love the look and ease of use. As a bonus it's both convection and/or conventional. The racks are super-sturdy for pulling out and loading heavy items (turkey, ham, casseroles, etc). I highly recommend reading (studying!) the manual to get optimum performance (especially as a convection oven). Easy to install and level (although we had an inspector certify the gas connection). BUT make sure all cabinet and countertop measurements and tolerances are precise for a nice tight fit and look. Also, CAUTION as the floor level warming tray is not heavy gauge stainless and can easily dent if you push it in carelessly (i.e. your foot!). All major brands have this same issue but I think Bosch could compete with the top end manufacturers if they would fix this with 16guage (or thicker) stainless just on that front drawer piece. Otherwise, this Benchmark IS a top end appliance!

What sold me on this oven was:
- over all appearance of the gas top
- electric convection oven
- Bosch name (love their dishwashers)
- height of range can go down to 35.5". This was very important as most ranges just go down to 36".

A Cook's Stove
Hilditch
10/22/2017
I could only find one 30" gas cooktop that would allow me to cook with a 2 gallon cauldron (On leather pads), a 15" skillet, a 2 1/2 qt. sauce pan, a 12" stock pot and a 2 qt. saucepan all CENTERED on the burners at once. I didn't even know I wanted a 5 burner, but even the 4's don't have this much room per burner. Was very pleased to find the angle of the flame, the extra height from the top of the burners to the bottom of the pan and open edged grate design allowed even the 15" skillet to heat evenly without a center hot spot or a cold edge. Yes, boiling water in a small pot is a bit slow, but a worthy trade off for even skillet heating.
Below the cooktop the use of both the upper and lower heating coils together is perfect for baking quick and yeast breads as well as pizza; especially biscuits, Italian bread and Neapolitan pizza.
This slide in is hard to beat for the serious cook. Did I mention it is half the price, or less than other high end names that are much less of a stove. The warming drawer is a winner too.
If you want your kitchen to look professional rather than institutional this is the way to go.
A pleasure to use,
Hilditch

The gas cooktop is very spacious with lots of room for different sized pots! The electric/convection oven temperature is accurate and even. The telescoping rack is a great safety and convenience feature. I like the touch open warming drawer. I'm still getting used to the controls in front--I often lean against them and start some feature on the unit. I wish they were at more of an angle. Also, the timer is a little quiet.

Great range - with limitations
Jima111
9/3/2017
I have used this range for about a year, and agree with all the positive attributes as noted by other reviewers.
However, there are a small number of limitations that I think the engineers should improve in newer models:
1. Most important, the main cooking burners (middle and front two) have far too large a burner radii. This means that only the largest pots can actually use all the heat from the burners. For normal sized pots the flames lick up the sides, wasting a tremendous amount of energy. This also results in uneven heating of your pot: the edges are very hot and the center is too cool. To quickly boil a pot of water then means that one must use less than the full flame, and tweak the flame to help concentrate it on the bottom of the pot. Engineers should either make smaller diameter burners, or star shaped burners, or dual ring burners with a small hot inner burner.
2. The stainless steel top burns and discolors around the burners. This started happening almost after the first use and got progressively worse. It is very hard to remove the burns. Turns out that Bosch coats the stainless steel top with a clear coating (I'm guessing to make it less prone to picking up finger prints). But this coating can easily burn. After lots of careful scrubbing with a gel-type oven cleaner and a small stiff nylon brush, you can remove the burned rings . What actually happens is that as you remove the burn, you are also removing the clear coating. The good news is after you remove this coating, the burns no longer return.
3.The "convection bake" setting doesn't properly brown the top of baked items. A work-around is to use "convection bake" for the first half of cooking time, then use "convection roast" to finish the cooking.
4. Fast preheat button. When you preheat the oven, you must select this button to speed up the preheating. Who wants a slow preheat? Why not default to fast preheat, and remove the silly button altogether?
These are just one user's thoughts. But if Bosch prides themselves on engineering acumen and product performance it would be nice to see these changes implemented quickly.

Poor Temperature Management
JayTeeGee
7/3/2017
I just purchased this range, and am awaiting a service call to determine if the following issues can be addressed:
The actual oven temperature is not displayed -- only the target temp is shown, and while an alert sounds when the oven temp RISES to the target temp, there is no similar alert when the temp LOWERS to the target. (Consider when a turkey is started at 375 degrees, then lowered to 250 degrees after 30 minutes...). The Bosch oven I previously used was an older model that always displayed the current temp and the target temp... WHY would Bosch eliminate this feature?
ALSO, the front panel is angled in a way that prevents the unit from sliding ALL the way to the wall. leaving a 7/8" gap between the wall and the range -- this is with a counter top that is just 25.75" deep. The portion of the front panel that is blocking the full slide-in is cosmetic, so I am hoping it can be re-tooled for a better fit.
IF these issues can be satisfactorily resolved, I will gladly edit this review.

We purchased this almost 2 yrs ago and are so pleased with everything about it. The cooktop has 3 separate grates for easy cleaning. The touch screen is so easy to use. I love having gas on the cooktop and electric for the oven. With electric the oven cooks very evenly and having gas on top makes it very easy to control the temperature. The convection works great (not noisy) and cuts down the cooking time. I use the warming drawer a lot and it opens with just a soft touch. The stainless is great and easy to clean. I think it has a rich European look. The range slides in between the counters and looks very elegant. This is a 5 star range!

we remodeled our house and installed this dual fuel range. This is the second Bosch range we have owned and we love this one even more. My wife does most of the cooking, but I have used the probe many times and the roasts, chicken, turkey all come out perfectly. The range is easy to use, the controls are intuitive, and the surface is really easy to clean.

We did an extensive remodel on our home and this is the range I chose. I chose it for it's dual fuel, 5 burners, extra large oven, it's looks, plus Bosch is a quality company. I have been using it for just a month and so far I am thrilled. I love the 5 burners, the heavy duty grate top, the large oven with the easy sliding racks, and the warming drawer on the bottom. Very easy to use and understand. The oven cooks very evenly. I was worried about keeping clean the stainless cook top surface but it is a breeze. Every thing has wiped up with just a wet dishcloth thus far and the surface still looks new. I also love the look of it. It is modern yet classic. It goes well in my decades old home where everything has been updated and yet still nods to the practical, hard working, timeless bones of it's 1955 roots.

Installation question for reviewer Katimay
snowshoefan
3/4/2016
This is my second bosch dual fuel range.The first is a freestanding model, still working great! Since free standing models are no longer available, I recently went with this slide in model. I appreciate Katimay's photos of her installation. Did she have her counter fabricator/installer shave or scallop out the ends of the counters located beneath the flared out sides on the control panel? Her range installation appears more flush with the cabinetry than mine. Once installation is finalized, I anticipate many years of use with this model!

After careful comparisons of many different ranges, we chose Bosch and we're glad we did. Installation was a breeze and I was cooking on the powerful burners within an hour! The cook-top is easy to clean, the range top accommodates all my pans both large and small. The oven bakes beautifully - cookies and cakes come out perfectly brown and meats are moist. Perhaps the best part is the look of the unit itself - we feel like gourmet chefs!

nice look, lovely to cook on, not for an island.
occdbmeandmyrange

Very nice range with a couple issues - who's perfect? Well... I landed on this range After a lot of research and not many choices in a reasonable price range. I needed a slide-in for the kitchen island, and I didn't have room for a wall mounted double oven. The design looked nice online. The name is great for resale, and it is a very nice unit. One major problem for me was that there is a space behind the unit with no cover, vented or not, just about a half inch space where things could fall behind it from the counter dining area adjacent. It definitely looked like something was missing or maybe it wasn't meant to fit into an island but against a wall instead. The upper back of the range which didn't appear to be meant to be seen was clearly visible from the adjacent counter seating. Because I had so much trouble getting this range here - never use Sears Outlet Store, and whoever you do purchase from query them on delivery expectations as I had to send the first one back which looked like it had been dropped from a crane ( I was then told by several people that a high percentage of these large type items delivered by private shippers arrive damaged, another story entirely) - I was without a range for several months and learned to eat healthy - raw - no way was this range going back and me back to the drawing board - I had an engineer friend design a special stainless vent attachment to fill the space. It worked beautifully and cost very little. I did call the Bosch people on it, but they offered no such solution. That was design flaw #1 in my opinion. The second flaw is the warming drawer below is of flimsy construction. The stainless steel bottom is a thin sheet of steel and has already scratched after using it only about twice. These appliance manufacturers should hire as consultants veteran real estate agents who've bought and sold lots of homes, and seen thousands, who can spot and solve a problem. The fix was easy, but I think Bosch should have thought of it and handled it. **** Overall though, very nice unit, I love cooking on it ****

We spent about a year researching ranges. We looked at other well-know high end brands, but kept coming back to the Bosch. We purchased the dual fuel slide-in 30" range about two weeks ago. I am so impressed with the performance. Every inch of the cook top is usable cooking space. The center burner works great for simmering a red sauce all day without burning the bottom of the pot. The multi-rack convection mode bakes cookies to perfection. The temperature probe took the guess work out of cooking a
perfect pork tenderloin. I can't wait to experiment with some of the other baking features...the warming drawer is icing on the cake!!! Looking forward to the holiday baking this year!
