The microwave unit is quite loud making grinding like noise each time we use it. Technicians are baffled at the cause but have order a number of parts to try and resolve. Disappointing for a Bosch product.

Bad experience with the Bosch 500 microwave
6/12/2022
I have all Bosch appliances in my home that were purchased 5 years ago for new construction and have been used for 3-1/2 years. After 1 year of use, my microwave, HMV5053U/01, had a couple of the lines disappear on the clock display. This make the clock illegible which is disappointing. The cost to fix the clock is estimated at $300. I chose to live with a faulty clock. Now the microwave randomly makes a quick loud noise that sounds if someone is being electrocuted. The microwave continues to work correctly, but this is concerning. Also this week, my refrigerator, B26FT80SN5/03, has twice poured water out of the ice/water dispenser without anyone near it. I saw it happen the second time and ran water for about 45 seconds, which covered my floor. I have loved Bosch dishwashers for many years and wrongly assumed their other appliances would be as durable and quiet. I was wrong. I am replacing the microwave with a different brand and will do the same with the other appliances as needed. To be fair, I have had no issues with my range, HGI8054UC/06. It has performed well. I still am a fan of their dishwashers also.

So far I have no complaints. This is my first purchase of Bosch appliance. I love where the light shines on stove and fan is strong enough to pull exhaust away from stove. Very easy to use.

We purchased our Bosch microwave expecting it to be
as wonderful as our Bosch dishwasher. While it's sleek and attractive, the micro is a disappointment !!
For some unexplained (annoying) reason the micro
fan continues to run even when the timer goes off !!
I was so concerned about it that I contacted the dealer and they sent a repairman to check it. He said it was not a defect, but actually (unbelievably) part of the microwave design !!!!!! It is so irritating & annoying !!!! We actually DISLIKE this micro & wish our original GE hadn't died !!!

The looks of the machine is appeasing. It heats quickly and efficiently. The over the range lights are great! It would be nice if the numbers were lit for nightime entry. The door seems to be off center in terms of closing. It has to lift to close. It also seems a bit loud when operating compared to my previous wave. Just my opinion.

I love this microwave! It heats fast and evenly .. it's a great size. Lots of easy options. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is the Bosch emblem on the front is not straight. A small thing but I see it. It looks tacky for a high end appliance. I still recommend this microwave though.

I am new to Bosch at 80 yrs old. This appliance is a dream. I am use to cleaning my old unit several times weekly do to food splatter (even though I cover my food during cooking). With my Bosch the cooking and warming is much faster, even and with NO splatter. It was close to 3 wks before the first cleaning. Not because it needed it, I just felt like I should. LOVE MY BOSCH MICROWAVE.

The microwave stopped working after 4 years. Two service calls and $300 later, it was delcared unfixable. Now there is a 6-8 month wait for a replacement. It is a differnt size than other microwaves, so I need to wait for this one, so it will fit in the same spot, even though I will need to have someone re-tile my backsplash after it is installed. I bought a tabletop microwave to use in the meantime. While it was working, it worked well, but the stainless areas were impossible to keep streak-free, even with using the Bosch cleaner. Very frustrated.

This model has many versatile features that will help you efficiently prepare snacks/meals. From a "keep warm" mode to sensor reheating to four vent levels, the more you use each feature the more you want to share that it's easy to use.

The microwave with convection oven is very nice. I wanted the oven to bake pizza but found that it was difficult to get the oven to over 375 degrees. The other issue that I would have liked to seen was automatic starts when engaging the numbered minute buttons. Over all I am very pleased with the quality and style of this oven

This is a nice looking microwave, but it tends to be loud. The installation was simple, and fits well. The doors seem robust and the touch pad works and as a unit, it heats well. The only issue is how loud it is. Seems much louder than my old one. I'm not sure if there is something amiss with the unit, it works but is loud.

The BOSCH 500 Series Over-The-Range Microwave we just purchased is a definite upgrade from the 25 year old microwave it replace. It is very stylish, quiet, modern, and easy to operate. A set of simple instructions on how to use the machine was given and is readily available to handle to do the "once in a while" microwaving we may do. The basics are a easy to do. I would highly recommend this model.

The size is perfect and the features all that you would ever need and works great. I gave it four stars instead of five due to the interior light. The light comes through a perforated screen so that the inside is sort of a dotted light. Would have been better to have the light with a clear screen. Also the light is behind this perforated screen so no idea how you would ever access should the light have to be changed or fixed.

This microwave feels "flimsy" when you open the door and using it ..... I expected a well built appliance, but my whirlpool in the RV felt tighter and was better built feeling. The touchpad has to be pushed hard to make it register a number and it is out of alignment with the door, twice I have mentioned it to the technician and he has said that's just the way it is. The door feels flimsy when opened or closed and this appliance is also very noisy.

Unit installed 2/13/20. Unit stopped working on 1/25/21 no power. Wall plug was alive. Went to Terry's Appliance to report Micro not working. On 2/1/21 serviceman replaced fuse and unit worked for 2 weeks and lost power again. On 2/14/21 called Terry's to report unit lost power again. Called and went to Terry's a number of times begging for service or at least a call back as to when we might see a serviceman. Never heard back. Finally we were told they were ordering a switch and it should be in between 1 - 2 weeks. On 4/12 a serviceman arrived at 4:45 PM and got the unit working. However, whatever he did, to open the door to the unit one had to use two hands and pull very hard, not like prior to his service call. Also, the sensor cook or defrost modes mentioned inside the door did not work. On 7/29/21 Micro lost power again. Went to Terry's that morning to report situation. Never heard back. Have gone there at least 6 times begging for service and being told they would get back to us. Never heard anything from them and today is Aug. 11,2021. I find it very hard to even give the above rating of 1 star after the fiasco this unit has caused. And to think this was our second Bosch Microwave in 12 years since when our house was built we purchased Bosch Stove, Microwave and Dishwasher at that time. We look forward to hearing from you as to how this situation might get resolved.
