When I saw the side opening doors option - together with the double oven, I was sold. The ease of using this oven, compared to the standard drop open doors, is amazing. Especially during the holiday, placing the turkey and other large items in to bake, was a breeze. Unbelievable the number of items that fit all at one time ! It is pleasing to the eye - sleek and clean. Bosch is the bomb !!!
