Does anyone have a Bosch range and do you like it?

I was planning on getting a GE Profile slide-in range, but then I noticed the Bosch Integra 700 HEI7282U slide-in range. I see that it is a little larger in cubic feet than the GE. I like the looks of the Bosch the best, but I have never used the Bosch brand. I have to get electric, unfortunately, but would like to hear your feedback even if you have gas.

Just wondered what your opinions are...even if you have a gas model. Are the convection fan and the cooling fan really loud? What about reliability?

Thanks for your comment/likes/dislikes!

    I have the Bosch Evolution and find it to be an excellent range. Even temperature, easy to clean and attractive. I've had it for about four years and have had zero complaints/issues with it. You may wish to check the appliances forum for threads on the Integra model.

    I have the dual fuel. I love it. It has been a great range
    for our family.

    I wrote this on the link but if you don't have time to
    visit the link here is my quote..

    I have a Bosch duel fuel range Integra 700 with warming drawer. I love it.
    Bosch makes an induction cooktop that I wish I had
    considered before rushing to buy this. I researched many
    ranges in my price range. ...

    I researched on Epinions.com too. I urge you to check this
    out because this really helped me choose my range.

    What I love about my Bosch...

    I love the heavy grates. You can put them in the Bosch
    dishwasher to clean them. Awesome for me.
    I love the large knobs and the look of stainless and black.
    I like the convection oven options, the dehydration for
    fruit or meat options, I like the racks and how they pull
    out very far for me to baste, marinate or check over
    stuff. I like the warming drawer to keep stuff warm for
    a busy family. I lvoe the quick convection broil, or conv
    bake or just regular bake.

    I love how fast my burners boil water. We were staying at
    a friends ski lodge over MLKing holiday. They
    have an old stove in their place that was so slow by the
    time it boiled water I did not feel like hot chocolate
    anymore. I realized how fast my range is.

    I like the time cook plan and the auto on or off. I like
    how fast the oven warms up. My son prefers to cook his
    snacks in the Oven and used to be a Micro only kid for his
    corn dogs, nachos, hot pockets, bagels bites....

    I don't like the gas on glass feature. I am told it is
    easier to clean than a stainless with gas grates.
    However glass really is a pain to clean because you have
    the burners to content with.

    BUT, the sealed burners are wonderful. If you have ever
    had food boil over onto a burner you know too well the
    horror that is to clean and make the burner funciton
    again. But the sealed burners mean when hot melted
    velvetta cheese boils over because your dimwit daughter
    wasn't paying attention it can not ruin the burner.

    My daughter never has to worry about boiling over velvetta
    cheese again because Bosch has this cool opti simmer
    burner. It doesn't boil over. Well, lets just say she can
    text, listen to music and be distracted from cooking
    and the cheese has not boiled over yet.

    Best of luck on your search.

    Thanks boxerpups! I have a chance to get an electric one at a good discount.

    Anyone else have a Bosch they like/dislike?

    I have a free standing Bosch electric "true European convection" with a ceramic top. I have had it for a few years and absolutely love and would not part with it. The convection (my first) is super quiet, and everything bakes so much more evenly than it did in my pre-convection days -- I don't think I've cooked anything without using convection since getting the range.

    I wouldn't hesitate for a second in getting another Bosch.

    i have a 2 year old bosch gas range...it's great except for the knobs...2 of mine
    are broken in completely different ways...one always pops off and the other is just loosy goosey. it's only me cooking and i'm very gentle with it because i love it otherwise. just doesnt seem like something that should happen after a year of use.

    I have had my Bosch electric range since August. I am happy with it. I must admit though, all I have ever had previously was electric and coil, sooo not much to compare to.
    Here is my best critique:
    I have noticed that it probably takes longer to both heat up and cool down the top, but not so much that it is a problem for me. Also, there is some noise with the use of the oven (like a fan blowing) That doesn't bother me either. The timer requires alot of button pressing to set, but it works.
    I love how it looks. It cleans very well with the solution which came with the range. (and I found it in a large size at the grocery store) The oven is a decent size and I like the pullout rack.
    All in all, I am satisfied.

    We have a Bosch Gas Range for almost 18 years now. If it dies today I wouldnt blink to sell it for parts. We have replaced the control board (from E-replacement Parts @$260; but found the same at Ebay for $120..!) It will tell you to select a Bosch specific number because this board is also used by Thermador, Dacor, Kitchenaid and Vulcan. Because we bake a lot we already have replaced the baking element twice (by Robertshaw; $32 on eBay, and also the broiler element from eBay) they are so easy to replace. All you need is an Allen wrench or a Flat screwdriver. Calling the service guys will call you an arm and a leg.
