We purchased our new side opening Bosch double oven about a month ago.  I absolutely love it.  I have always found it inconvenient to have to lift a heavy pot or even a cookie sheet over the door that is pulled down to put it in the oven.  I am getting older and often cook in heavy casserole dishes.  It had become difficult to lift them into the oven.  The side opening door makes it a breeze. Not only that, I no longer have to clean the ledge that the pull down door created.  I also love the glide out shelf which is one more great feature.  Everything that I have cooked has been evenly cooked and I can rely on my new oven to have it come out perfectly.

To sum it up, the oven not only meets all the criteria I could want, but is a beautiful stylish new addition to my kitchen.
