Advantages: Design and functionality
Disadvantages: Non removable self clean top and back oven walls

...Adds luxurious design to any kitchen, its easy to use with 1 knob controlling the main oven and 2 for the top oven/grill. The programmer allows you to set the alarmed timer and programme the ovens to start / stop at set times. Securing the oven to the kitchen carcass is with 2 screws that hide in sunken holes. The oven cavities are surprisingly big for a built in oven, the grill door stays shut when grilling. Cleaning is helped by the removable shelf holders and the self clean properties of the back and top plates inside the ovens, the only criticism I have is that the self clean plates are not easily removable, making it harder for you to go wild inside with the oven cleaner in case you damage their surface coating. All in all though a very good oven, but what else would you expect from Bosch.... Read review

Advantages: easy to work, superb cleaning, good looking,
Disadvantages: none

...This dishwasher is superb - it is quiet, efficient and cleans beautifully. Both the exterior and the interior are easy to clean and my machine looks as good today as the day it was bought. Bosch produce reliable and quality machines. I like the number of programmes it has and I also like how easy it is to work. It isn't rocket science. The salt container is easily accessible and the rinse aid compartment is handy and it is easy to see when it needs refilling. Excellent results on all programmes. I have never had a problem with it and I would recommend Bosch to anyone.... Read review

Advantages: Gritty realism
Disadvantages: None

...This is another Detective Bosch murder mystery, and in this one you get to learn more about Bosch the man, rather than Bosch the policeman. It all starts with ‘Harry’ (short for Hieronymus) Bosch getting a call out to a murder scene. A body has been found in a drainage pipe at the Mullholland Dam, and it looks like just another drug addict who’s overdosed on heroin. That is until Bosch recognises him as Billy Meadows, someone he served with back in Vietnam. Bosch was a tunnel rat in Vietnam, this means that he had to go down the tunnels dug by the Vietcong (the VC) and destroy them, and anyone down there. He and Billy were in the same unit together, but Bosch hasn’t seen Billy in twenty years, now he’s turned up dead and Bosch doesn’t believe it’s a simple case of a heroin overdose, he... Read review

Advantages: Design, Usability and safety features
Disadvantages: Cost

...Bosch appliances have the edge when it comes to design and usability, its easy to clean, safe to use and looks good. We were slightly concerned about the controls being accessible to our two kids at the front but the child safety lock / gas shut off works a treat. Cooking on it is good to, it seems to kick out more heat than my last hob making the job of boiling a saucepan of water for spuds or pasta a quicker evolution. Bosch gave me a free 2 year warranty just for registering my product, I'm not sure how long this deal is running for but it made the purchase even more pleasing. The hob is a little expensive but its worth it. I have no problem in recommending this to any prospective buyer.... Read review

Advantages: VERY HANDY TOOL
Disadvantages: NONE

...The Bosch PMS 400-multi- purpose saw is clearly one of the most versatile power tools ever produced. With it’s fast SDS tool- changing system, the PMS 400 universal saw can be rapidly changed from a handy saw, to a sander, a wire brush, a file, a rasp or even a polisher in seconds. It is lightweight, and has a single handed operation for ease of use, yet powerful enough to be used for a multitude of job’s around the house. For example cutting tree branches, smoothing wood, removing rust and deburring metal, the Bosch multi-saw nevertheless remains a specialist-sawing tool. In this mode it is equally suitable for rough sawing and precise carpentry is possible, thanks to two foot plates which are standard, one for accurate 90 degree cutting and the other for 45 mitres, for example picture framing. Also standard is a wire brush attachment... Read review

Advantages: reliable
Disadvantages: relatively pricey

...Our secondhand fridge and freezer had served us well for 3 years - but 3 years of chunks of ice in the fridge never mind the freezer meant it was time to buy a Frost Free Fridge Freezer. Of course everyone tells you that Bosch is the best for kitchen equipment but experiencing the slick design, and the beautifully chilled food first hand is another matter. The interior of this fridge freezer is large with enough compartments and shelves to make keeping your fridge and freezer organised an easy task. There are cheaper frost free models out there but the Bosch models use a " new revolutionary Bosch ‘Multi Airflow System’ " which disperses the cold air throughout the appliance interior allowing for goods to be filled in anywhere you have the space. It also has a digital disply which tells you the current temperature within the fridge... Read review

Advantages: great clean clothes low water and electricity consumption
Disadvantages: a bit pricey

...Bosch washers aint cheap BUT this washing machine is the best ever washing machine that I've had. It really does clean your clothes well. I bought the Bosch due to the fact that it has an A rating for electricity consumption and for its water consumption - ie it uses less than most washing machines. My bosch has got 15 easy to use programmes, it takes up to 13lbs of washing ( which is about 20% more than most washing machines)the spin speed is 1000 but the clothes come out feeling so dry you would have thought it had a faster spin.It also has a very gentle wash for woolies - that works unlike some washing machines I've used. I've only had my machine for 3 months so I cant say its going to last for ever but a mate has had a bosch for over 3 years and never had a thing go wrong with it. This is an excellent washing machine... Read review

Advantages: Cook on 3 floors, shut door for grill use
Disadvantages: Water marks and smudges easily.

...I had my previous oven for about 8 years it was already in the house we bought but it only cooked on one level and did not have a grill so started looking round for a new oven as I have 3 growing children. I chose this out of 2 possible brands and researched Bosch on the internet, unfortunately Comet and Currys had a choice of 2 or 3 ovens so we bought from a local shop in Worcester and actually ordered over the telephone, we wanted this particular model because it is a built-under which means that we could fit it under the existing space. We had a new hob fitted and extractor hood and managed to fit this oven in the space under the hob without moving things round in the kitchen. The oven consists of a single oven/grill and a double oven underneath, this has been very useful with fussy eaters and cooking different meals at once... Read review
