6 key questions for oven buyers.
Other criteria to help you choose:
Which oven to buy?
When looking for a new oven, you probably want to know which oven is best for your kitchen and needs. What is a conventional oven? What is a convection oven? Is a convection microwave oven worth it? What about a steam oven? These questions might float through your mind while exploring your options.
Most of our ovens, for example, are convection ovens, meaning they are equipped with a fan to evenly spread hot air throughout the oven. Cleaning the oven is a tiresome, thankless task. Opt for a self-cleaning oven, also known as a pyrolytic oven, to save time and hassle.
Browse our oven guide below to find out what to consider when buying a new appliance.
1. Which type of oven is best for you?
Depending on your kitchen layout and your personal preferences, there are different types of ovens to choose from.
Built-in oven: Integrated into a cupboard, either underneath a worktop or, more ergonomically, at eye level in a wall.
2. Which oven dimensions fit your cutout?
Measure your cutout or look in the user manual of your current oven as a starting point. Here's some general advice about oven sizes.
- Standard oven size: 60 x 60cm (w x h)
- Compact oven size: 60 x 45cm (w x h)
Pro tip: A compact oven can be combined with a warming drawer to fit a standard oven size cutout.
3. Which heating types suit your cooking preferences?
Today's ovens generate heat or circulate the air in different ways. For example, a convection oven cooks and bakes with hot air while a steam oven can cook food with steam in addition to cooking and baking with hot air.
What is a convection oven?
A convection oven uses a fan to distribute heat evenly throughout the interior. This helps dishes to cook more evenly. In addition to the convection setting, a convection oven also offers, for example, conventional heat (no fan), bottom heat and grill settings. Our ovens come with an advanced convection setting, such as 3D Hotair or 4D Hotair. The advantage: even distribution of heat on three (3D) or four (4D) racks simultaneously.
What is a steam oven?
In addition to offering the cooking modes of a conventional oven, a steam oven also uses steam to cook foods. Steaming is a light yet delicious way to cook a wide variety of foods, from fish and poultry to vegetables. The method also helps preserve nutrients and provides an effective way to reheat many foods. Our steam ovens allow you to steam cook an entire meal – vegetables, fish, potatoes – on three racks at once.
Pro tip: An added steam feature on some of our convection ovens let you add blasts of steam to bake, for example, crusty bread.
What is a convection microwave oven?
A convection microwave oven is a convection oven that comes with a microwave setting. The multi-functional appliance can be used to cook food as well as to heat it up, meaning you don't need a separate microwave. Activating the microwave while cooking also speeds up the cooking process. Efficient, space saving and convenient!
Pro tip: Some of our convection microwave ovens also come with added steam function.
4. What about a self-cleaning oven?
What is a self-cleaning oven? A self-cleaning oven, also known as a pyrolytic oven, comes with a cleaning programme that uses high temperatures to burn off food and grease residue on the interior. When the programme is finished, all you have to do is wipe out the remaining ash – no harsh chemicals necessary!
A ceramic coating on the oven walls breaks down grease spatters while you bake or roast.
5. What smart oven features make life easier?
A WiFi oven can be accessed and operated via an app on your smartphone. Our smart ovens, which work with the Home Connect app, offer clever features that make daily life more enjoyable.
- Convenience: Preheat the oven on your way home.
- Safety: Double check it's switched off after leaving.
- Precision: Select a recipe in the app – send the settings to your WiFi-enabled oven.
- Support: Remote Diagnostics allows a Bosch technician to investigate an issue from afar.
Look forward to new features in the future as well.
6. Which extra oven features or accessories do you need?
Advances in oven design and technologies take cooking and baking to the next level. Here are some of our highlights.
Telescopic rails: For easy and safe handling, telescopic oven rails help you safely remove baking trays, dishes and racks from the oven.
PerfectBake: The PerfectBake sensor monitors the moisture content of baked goods, and turns off the oven automatically when done. So every cake is baked to perfection.
PerfectRoast: With up to three measuring points, our PerfectRoast meat probe measures the temperature of all kinds of meats, for perfectly-cooked meat at every time.

Home Build in Borsh Oven
Bought a Borsh oven on 17.11.2024. But mistakenly the counter girl indicated purchase date as 7.11.24. But it's ok. The staff there was great and welcoming. The Salesman I had was very knowledgeable and advise on my purchase. Also highlighted what other products can be bought with the climate voucher. Overall Audio house staffs compared to many other Electrical outlets are better and polite. Thumbs Up. Rgds

Durable and user friendly!
I recently upgraded my oven to the Series 2 Built-in Oven, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. This appliance truly stands out in terms of durability, user-friendliness, and an impressively clean interface. Durability: From the moment I unboxed it, I could tell that this oven was built to last. The materials feel robust, and the construction is solid — no flimsy parts here. From the previous series that i upgraded from, even after several months of use, it showed no signs of wear, and the heat distribution is consistent. It’s reassuring to know that I have a reliable oven that can handle everything from everyday meals to special occasions. Ease of Use: Cooking with the series 2 oven is a breeze. The intuitive controls make it easy to navigate various settings, whether I’m roasting or baking. Knobs have a nice tactile feedback when i set it to the required settings. The oven preheats quickly, and the timer functions are straightforward. Clean Interface: The design of the interface is another standout feature. The sleek, minimalist look is both modern and functional. The digital display is clear and easy to read, with well-organized icons that eliminate any guesswork. It’s a pleasure to use, and it complements my kitchen’s aesthetic perfectly. Overall, the series 2 built-in oven has exceeded my expectations in every way. Its durability gives me confidence, the ease of use makes cooking enjoyable, and the clean interface enhances the overall experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish addition to their kitchen!
