I bought two Bosch Series 8 Built in ovens when doing a house renovation in 2021. About 6 weeks ago, I woke up to a burning electric smell. I noticed… Read more
one of the ovens not working. Considering the strong smell of burning electricity, I thought it urgent and contacted Bosch. I explained the situation and asked for an urgent repair. The customer service arranged a call in over a week later - which firstly considered to not be an urgent response. Regardless, the technician came onsite and sure enough diagnosed the problem as a catastrophic failure. Said it was a 'near miss' and that he had never seen such an extreme failure before (photos provided). He put forward his report with the recommendation the the oven be replaced. That was a month ago. In that time, I've called Bosch several times to follow up. Was told on both occasions that I have a a case manager and the case manager will contact me within 24 hours. I'm still waiting. I have found the customer service of Bosch lacking and it's made me question Bosch products in the future, particularly as this product failure could have ha catastrophic outcomes for my family and I.

stops and the oven would not operate, so I paid for the module replacment and a week later the fan that keeps the electronics cool became intermittent and shut everything down until things cooled down. It has only been a little over 6 years since installed and does not get in anyway a heavy workload. I think there are slightly more expensive units out there such as Bosch that last for years and years, because the quality out of Electrolux is garbage as evidenced by my dishwasherand now oven - BTW Westinghouse is out of the same factory as Electrolux so personally I'll won't be considering that brand.

care but they said send your invoice and we call you back & they did and said we booked our service so you need to pay $225 something because out of warranty. So I am very disappointed because because only 3 years I used product and now I need to pay $225 more is disgusting. Even we buy good company one it’s easy to work 5 years or more. I tell new buyers never buy anything with this company products otherwise you need to pay extra money every time. Also in market new policies when you buy anything every supplier ask you if you want more safe side buy extra warranty that means they know product not working after 2 years because your warranty going to finish. So this company & other company basically cheating us. Again not buy this company products & waste your money.

This new one heats up very quickly compared to the old one. The heat is even and I love the bright interior light and big window enabling me to see what's going on inside. I haven't used the griller bit much but I certainly like the fact that I can heat up only one side if I'm doing small things ... simple power-saving idea! I'm sure the novelty will wear off but I'm really enjoying cooking fancy things requiring even heat that my old oven simply couldn't have coped with. I feel like I'm now set for another 30 years. No hesitations in recommending this oven.

I am happy with this oven except for the timer function which is useless. It is much too quiet and doesn't go for long enough. if you are any distance from the oven then it is quite likely you won't hear it. Show details

Outside of warranty – UPDATE AUGUST 2025. Electrolux paid for a servicing company to come and look at the oven. They managed to replace the fan cover and tap in screws in… Read more
new holes in the back of the oven. Most of the rust was on the metal fan cover and I am grateful that they could find a fix. The original screw holes are covered by the new fan cover plate, which I was worried about as they had rusted to the size of a five cent piece. The cover is slight out of square but the fan works and it doesn’t hit the cover. I presume they will continue to rust behind the fan cover but I presume I will get a few more years out of the oven, which is a good thing. I am grateful that Electrolux came to the party and found a fix as I was going to struggle replacing the oven so soon after purchasing it. Thank you Vivian for taking the time and paying for the repair. Thank you Electrolux.
UPDATE ON OVEN!! Ok, this review is important!! The oven has started to rust from the inside. I noticed a lot of rust towards the back of the oven. I unscrewed the two screws holding the fan cover and the back of the fan cover has rust all over it, the screw holes are so rusted the screws won’t go back in. It would appear that the glazing is thin/patchy as it has rusted on flat surfaces through and around the glazing. WHO MAKES A STEAM OVEN THAT CANT DEAL WITH STEAM. honestly, I think I’ve only used the steam a couple of times. Maybe it’s the pyroclean function? Either way the oven is now officially rubbish. 3-4 years and it’s done. I see they are selling these ovens for just under $2000.00. Do not waste your money and do not expect Electrolux to come to the party when I have only used their product as describe. (I’m not to sure what else you could do to not use it within specs! - I’ve only cleaned it with pyroclean when it’s told me too?).
The cracks in the enamel did not spread, mute issue, but information if anyone else has a similar issue.
We fitted out our entire kitchen and laundry Electrolux/Westinghouse products. The first oven we received was shorting itself out on the inside casing. It was replaced and the second unit has been working well. I’ve been keep up with cleaning it with the pyro cleaning as it’s been 28 months.l, and a few months past its warranty. The inside of the unit is starting to crack and I’ve rung Electrolux about the issue. They have told me is is outside of the warranty period and they can’t do anything about it. I don’t know if it is the pyro cleaning that has caused it? I should have got the extended warranty. Has anyone else experienced the same issue?

repair man sent out 3 times, they have wasted money repairing things that have made no difference. When I advised that water does not boil, I was told to boil the kettle first and pour the hot water in the pot to cook pasta, etc. We don't use the oven anymore, it is so terrible. It can't even cook a pizza. We now use an air fryer. We rent this property so we do not have proof of purchase.

We acquired five esteemed Bosch kitchen appliances for my newly established kitchen, including a Steam Combi Oven, a Pyrolytic Oven, a Built-In… Read more
Coffee Machine, and two Warming Drawers. Of these items, the only one that functions correctly is the warming drawers; though we seldom use one, we hold it in high regard. The oven, mainly its steam function, has seen minimal usage. The coffee machine we utilise daily was the first to exhibit a touchscreen malfunction and was subsequently replaced under warranty. I was dissatisfied with paying an additional $800 to account for the price difference, as the original unit was no longer available, resulting in a disjointed colour scheme. Nevertheless, I am grateful to have my cherished coffee machine operational again. The second item that experienced a failure was the touchscreen of the Combi Oven. It was repaired under warranty just before the expiration of that warranty; despite my questions about what seemed to be a common issue with the touchscreens, I was assured it would work perfectly. Regrettably, shortly thereafter, it malfunctioned again, restricting our usage to only a few options as one side of the touchscreen became unresponsive. The Concierge Gold Service denied my claim, stating that the warranty had lapsed. Furthermore, our pyrolytic oven's touchscreen has failed, making it inoperable and now out of warranty. All five items were purchased on November 6, 2018, and I find it profoundly disappointing and distressing that they have not operated correctly for a minimum of ten years. The reason we chose Bosch was for the said quality and engineering. It is alarming that three of the highly rated, German-engineered Bosch units we acquired have all malfunctioned similarly; why has a known product recall not been initiated? Would someone be able to help us?

minutes longer to cook anything in the oven and I have to boost the temperature up an extra 30 degrees to get a result like 210 Celsius to cook something that should cook easily at 180. I came from a house with an old stand alone gas oven with a fan and it is 30 years old and 10 times more affective at cooking. This Westinghouse oven is garbage. Do not buy Westinghouse ovens they seem to be very faulty.

would not last mechanically (it just failed and the whole thing just fell apart) and would deposit food scraps inside the cabinetry (it did).
The seals have failed and it seems to always need to have the Ecoclean function performed.

Very disappointing experience for a high end appliance on top of the Neff Dishwasher Stainless surface which is heavily corroded and we don’t live near the ocean.

it started to heat up for 5 minutes and then dead! And it's locked! I found the switch for the oven in the meter box was down and could not be pushed up again with indoor isolation switch was on. When I switched off isolation switch the outside switch could be switched on. Talked to an electrician. He told me it's definitely the oven problem, not the cable or switch problem. Tried to talk to Smeg service. They said it is out of warranty and they charge call out fee for every 15 minutes! I guess no one is using pyrolitic function every day or very often? I tried to use it for the very first time! Terrible quality of the Smeg oven? Will never use this brand again!
Luckily we normally don't use oven to cook anything anyway. But truly a terrible product.

The only thing that probably would’ve been nice although I understand that this price point that is not featured, is a digital temperature gauge rather than a manual one so that when you turn the knob you can see what temperature you are dialling up, but first world problems.

several weeks for a technician to come out, confirm the issue, then another several weeks for him to return with the replacement glass.

Wall oven configurations
Wall ovens come in different configurations, including single wall ovens, double wall ovens, and compact ovens.
Single wall ovens · See all
Single built-in ovens are usually around 60cm tall and wide, although extra wide models (suited to pizza) can range from 70-90cm in width.
Their smaller size doesn't stop them from sharing the multifunction options of more spacious ovens, such as grill and defrost.
Double wall ovens · See all
These provide the functionality of two ovens, stacked on top of each other and installed onto your kitchen wall.
You can choose between two equally sized ovens, or a regular-sized oven and a smaller grill, which operate independently of each other.
Compact ovens · See all
As their name suggests, compact wall ovens are categorised by their small size.
They're an ideal option for smaller kitchens with limited wall space, or if you have a unique kitchen layout that makes it difficult to house a standard-sized wall oven.
Oven fuel type
Electric ovens · See all
Electric wall ovens need to be hardwired, which means the electrical leads attached to your new oven much be connected to your household wiring. Make sure you hire a licensed electrician who can determine the right type of wiring for your oven. While self-installation seems like a good way to save money, accidents could pose a fire hazard, as well as render your warranty useless.
Gas ovens · See all
If you don't have an existing gas line in your kitchen, you'll need to have one installed. If your gas oven is equipped with electronic controls or an electric grill, it needs to be close to an electrical outlet.
Oven functions
Conventional ovens · See all
Also known as conduction or traditional ovens, these are the ovens that aren’t ‘fan forced.’ Conventional ovens work by generating heat from either a top or bottom heating element, or a combination of both.
Fan forced or convection ovens · See all
Along with the top and bottom heating elements of conventional ovens, convection ovens have a secret weapon. This is the fan at the back of the oven, with a third heating element wrapped around it.
The fan circulates hot air evenly throughout the oven chamber, preventing hot and cold spots in your food.
Fan assisted ovens
These ovens are also equipped with a fan, but only use two heating elements, on the base and roof of the oven. The fan doesn’t have a heating element wrapped around it. The benefit is that food is still cooked evenly, but more gently, making fan assisted ovens suitable for desserts like pastries and custards.
Steam ovens
These are available as steam-only ovens, or with a steam function on a convectional oven (called a ‘steam-assisted oven.’) Steam ovens allow food to retain their nutrients without the need for oil, offering a healthy cooking method. Food also keeps its moisture and flavours better, and you can cook dinner and dessert simultaneously without flavours mixing.
You can bake a wide variety of foods in a steam oven, including vegetables, dumplings, curries, pasta and puddings.
Ovens with steam functionality can be dear, adding roughly $800 onto the purchase price of an oven. Weigh up whether the increased cost is worth it for you when compared to other steaming options like portable food steamers.
Combination ovens · See all
Also known as combi or convection steam ovens, these offer three cooking functions: steam only, convection only, and a convection/steam combination. When you combine convection with steam, you can achieve food that’s soft and tender inside, and browned and perfectly crisped on the outside. Most models come with microwave functions such as re-heat, defrost and grill.
Self-cleaning ovens
Pyrolytic ovens · See all
These ovens aren’t completely ‘self cleaning,’ but they simplify the cleaning process. After removing shelves, turn the oven to pyrolytic cleaning mode.
This heats it up to 500 degrees celsius for 1.5-3 hours (your choice). Food residue is burned to fine ash, which can then be wiped away. </FloatingElementsContainer>
Catalytic liners
If a pyrolytic oven is out of your price range, catalytic liners are the next best thing. Catalytic liners or panels absorb fat splatters and grease emitted during cooking. When the oven is turned up to 500 degrees C, the heat releases food residues and turns them into a white ash, which you can then wipe off with water and soap.
Steam cleaning
Some ovens are designed with a steam clean function, the most affordable of the three ‘self cleaning’ oven options. These are suitable for smaller cleaning jobs. Simply set the oven to one hour, and heat up the oven to 90 degrees Celsius. It won’t be as much of a thorough clean as a pyrolytic or catalytic cycle, so you might need an oven cleaner along with warm soapy water to wipe away the residual mess.
Other factors to consider when buying a wall oven
Capacity
This refers to the number of usable litres inside an oven. As a general rule of thumb, a 60L oven is sufficient for a single-person household or a couple, while an 80L oven suits a four-person household or those who enjoy hosting dinner parties.
There is a correlation between capacity and oven size/ configuration, i.e. a built-in double oven will have more usable space than a single oven. Also keep in mind the shelving options, as an oven with three shelves and 55L capacity will fit more food than an oven with two shelves and a 60L capacity.
Cost
The purchase price of a new wall oven can be anywhere between $350 for a single oven with basic functions, to a cool $15,000 for an advanced model with pyrolytic cleaning and over a hundred cooking programs.
Don’t forget to account for installation costs, which can cost $100 at a minimum if your new oven can simply replace the old. However, if you need to install new wiring, circuitry, a gas line or connect to a water line (for some steam ovens), installation can cost around $50-$100 an hour.
Appearance
A new wall oven lets you showcase a chic new appliance n your kitchen. Particularly if you’re renovating, you can select a colour and style that complements your kitchen’s design scheme. Black and stainless steel are the most popular options, however if you’re opting for stainless steel, ensure you buy a model with a fingerprint-resistant surface, to keep your oven looking sleek.
Extra features
These features are optional extras, and the more you have, the pricier your oven will become. Choose only the esential cooking functions and features that you know you'll regularly use.
- Adjustable pre-set temperatures: suggests the best temperature and cooking time for certain foods.
- Automatic cooking programs: remove much the manual work, as your oven will calculate the correct cooking time, temperature, operating mode and shelf position.
- Baking setting: makes baking desserts easier, by controlling the level of moisture in the oven.
- Child safety lock: disables all oven controls. An oven door lock can also be purchased separately for as little as $10.
- Defrost function: doesn’t use any heat, but does use the oven fan. Defrosting in the fridge or microwave may be more efficient, however.
- Digital controls: should be clearly labelled and easy to read.
- Divider shelves: separate a large oven into two sections, allowing you to use one section for grilling, and one section for baking.
- Fan grill: combines a fan and the grill function, to brown and crisp foods on the outside, while keeping them fresh and juicy on the inside (think baked potatoes or pasta bake).
- Glass oven door: provides a safe way to view food that’s cooking, without opening the oven door and releasing heat.
- Grill function: uses the top heating element only to grill food such as melted cheese on toast.
- Keep warm: keeps food at a comfortably warm temperature without continuing to cook it, at an oven temperature of 65-80 degrees.
- Pizza mode: uses a bottom heating element and fan to keep pizza crispy on the bottom, and fresh and melted on the top.
- Rapid heat: offers a super-fast heating option that's an upgrade from the usual method of waiting for an oven to pre-heat.
- Shelving: should include a minimum of two shelves, which can support the weight of heavy dishes without tilting downwards.
- Shelving safety stops: ensure shelves can’t be pulled out completely during the cooking process, which prevents hot dishes from spilling, falling, or otherwise causing accidents.
- Smokeless grill trays: are designed with gaps to channel dripping fat into a tray underneath, where it can more easily be cleaned.
- Touch screen: in place of digital controls can further simplify the cooking program selection process, by displaying images and clear text.
