I love to bake. In fact, choosing an oven was quite a feat as I know so much science and engineering goes into creating the perfect environment for baked goods (breads especially). I choose Bosch because it was considered (in my opinion) more of a deluxe brand, but not too excessive compared to higher-end models. I also liked the duel-fuel option as well as the warming drawer and convection fan. My range did come with its glitches, which were addressed a few weeks afterwards through a reputable warranty provider. The oven does alert you when it's preheated and when food is ready; however, you'll need to be close by as the chime sounds infrequently. Overall, this is a great oven minus a few hiccups here and there.
