I first saw this range about 1 and 1/2 years ago. I liked it because it had legs. I like to be able to clean under my stove. I carried a picture of it on my phone dreaming of the day I could buy it. I finally got it and I love it. The oven cooks so much faster because of the circulation fan. The range type is easy to clean because of the interlocking grids. I am very pleased with every feature of the stove. It was well worth the wait and cost to get it.

Love this Range. The middle burner I've nicknamed "NASA". It has changed my life as I know it. I'm cooking again! Thank you Bosch!

I bought this range when upgrading my new home. I'm a former F&B Director and had a 48" Viking range in my last home. The first thing to know is that commercial ranges are of a simpler design than your average inexpensive home range. They have fewer bells and whistles that serious cooks don't need or use. They concentrate on actual cooking performance. I have found this Bosch range to perform quite well. To address some issues I've read in the reviews I would make the following points. The electrical plug does protrude some, but I just bought a short, heavy duty extension with a flush outlet for the wall. Simple fix. As for oven temperature, it's true that the unit does not have a digital temp display. Neither will your commercial hotel oven. In any event, a professional chef wouldn't trust it. The purchase of an inexpensive, quality oven thermometer is a much better idea, and that cures this complaint. It won't take long before you instinctively know exactly where to set the dial! I have not had any noise issues with the convection fan. It's a bit tricky to get the burners low enough for a simmer, but the use of a burner plate, which should be used anyway, takes care of that problem. The burner caps need to be placed on the correct burners for them to light and stay lit properly. If you put the small burner cap on a larger burner it will not light or stay lit. Simple fix. Pushing in the knobs for 2 seconds before turning the knob becomes second nature quickly and then the oven and burners light every time. This seems to me to be a good safety feature to avoid accidental lighting. With these points in mind I think you'll find this range is an excellent mid-range priced, professional style unit that serves it's purpose very well indeed. And for much less cost than a Viking or Wolf.
