Product review (1 stars): A True Story
This is a true story. I posted this review on the Bosch Canada website as well (waiting to see if the company will post it).

First stove:  I purchased this model of Bosch stove in October 2015 on sale from Lowe's Regina (Saskatchewan, Canada). I paid to have it delivered and installed by Lowe's. According to the installers, sparks flew out of the stove when it was plugged in. I heard the noise but did not see where the sparks came from. The stove control panel was still working so the installers continued with the installation. Later, when I went to use the stove, two burners were not working. I also realized the installers had installed the stove so it was resting on my quartz countertop (which it should not because the stove weighs about 250 lbs). The countertop was damaged in about four places as a result. Lowe's is responsible for the countertop (still unresolved) and Bosch arranged for a stove replacement.

Second stove: The replacement stove was delivered and installed by Lowe's in November 2015. At time of delivery, the following issues were evident: 1) bubbles in the control panel finish 2) warped glass stove top and warped metal trim (photos attached). I needed a stove, and given the concerns with possibly damaging the counter top further, it was decided to repair the second stove rather than replace it. Numerous phone calls and emails later (weeks would go by with no response from Bosch Customer Service US), arrangements were made for a service technician to complete the repairs. In the meantime, I realized the oven fan was not working properly. The speed of the fan cycled erratically. I went to Lowe's and listened to the floor demo to compare! I found many bubbles in the oven finish as well. When the Bosch service technician visited my house (twice), he confirmed all of the above issues. This process has taken about two months. Now it's the end of January 2016, and it's been determined to order a third replacement stove.

Additional issues:

1) The Bosch installation manual says, under "Parts Included, that foam tape should be included "unless already installed on underside of cooktop sides". For both stoves, no foam tape was provided by Bosch, nor was it on the underside of the cooktop, to protect my countertop. When I mentioned this to Bosch Customer Service, the supervisor replied that the installers should have not installed it without the foam tape! I purchased and installed tape for the second stove installation which seemed to help slide the stove in more easily.

2) Also, for both stoves, the chemical smell of the oven finish was extremely strong when the oven was on. Eventually, the smell dissipated, but until it did, I did not cook any food in the oven.

3) I find the stove top elements do not simmer at all well.
4) Lastly, its tricky to move the stove because of its weight and the lip on the sides of the stove top.

Funnily enough, during all this, my Bosch dishwasher was recalled for a fire hazard issue with the plug.

You may be asking yourself by now, why would I get a third replacement stove by Bosch? I'm hoping the company will get it together and send me a quality stove? The price I paid was a really good deal. It matches my made-in-Germany dishwasher (which did not give me problems). Are there other stoves out there much better in this price range?

Needless to say I cannot recommend this stove, especially not at full price.

Good luck with your stove shopping.
