Previously we has a kitchaid COnvection oven which was a real treat. When we moved the new house had a builders grade oven. It was OK, but missed the convection features & such I had gotten used to . Found this Bosch oven and really liked the feature list.  It seems to heat up quickly and cook evenly.  Looking forward to exploring all of the features.  The side opening door is really nice. It swings open and stays in position. Incredibly solid feel to it.
