When my old oven could no longer be repaired. We started our search for a replacement. I had an all Bosch kitchen in a past home with great results, so started my search with what I knew worked great. What I didn't know was how fun having an oven that could Air Fry would be so popular with the entire family. We love it. It can do all the regular functions bake/conv bake & roast/ broil etc. I also didn't think we would us the app but that too has turned out to be a huge hit. We love the new oven if I had one complaint it's that only one rack can be rolled out. You can purchase roller racks seperately but they are expensive as an aftermarket item.

My GE Monogram wall oven finally malfunctioned at 16 years. Found the Bosch 8454 in stock at local distributor. Salesperson recommended it over GE Cafe. This oven Heats in 1/3 the time of the Monogram. The Bosch is nearly silent way quieter than the GE. Especially on shutdown cooling. Temperature control is outstanding. It is used for baking bread, pizza weekly and air fryer feature. Wi-Fi connection us a cool feature to preheat from afar. Controls are good to use. Backlighting them woukd be nice. After setting a temp, it has a progress led line that guves general status and Wi-Fi announces that its ready to use and a beep. $1000+ less than Monogram and availability was very good! Mounted beneath a Monogram Speed Oven and looks great.

I love the special features on this oven. The remote/timed start and finish has been very useful. So far, the oven has been reliable and works well. I would recommend!
