Bosch CMG7241B1B 900W Built In Combination Microwave - Black

Good but has serious issues

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Touch screen is small and it’s not obvious where on the rings you put your finger to adjust settings. Touch screen obviously gets full of finger marks which makes viewing harder. Would be better if oven and microwave had separate touch screens. Bleep noise is a bit quiet even though its duration can be extended. No fast preheat for oven and ridiculously requires you to set a time to even commence warm up. Far simpler if once you set oven temperature it preheats to your set temperature then bleeps when ready, you then place dish to cook in oven and set cooking times. Oven door is bottom hinge drops towards you exposing two prongs ready to catch either you your oven cloth or the dish itself. If they were different colour it might help! Side opening would be much safer and less hazardous. If this oven is higher up like a top oven would be or the cook is short statute this makes the door arrangement so much worse. We only bought it because it is one a a very few with integrated microwave . See other reviews elsewhere about this issue. We are regretting purchasing this unfortunately but have another oven which we use more often

Versatile oven

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Found temperature and time difficult to set using finger going round dial. Liked being able to add more cooking time. Problem with perforated tray to use with air frier was that crumbs etc could fall through onto bottom of oven. Grill works well,useful to be able to use only small area. Would be nice if microwave had higher setting than 600, eg 800 or 900 W. Liked that showed when desired temperatue was reached when using as fan oven.

Great Multi Function Unit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great to have the air frying and microwave functions included alongside the normal grill and oven capabilities. Smart home compatibility is good.

Nice, but far from perfect

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a replacement to our previous series 8 over which we had for about 17 or 18 years. Overall it is quite nice, though we prefer the brush steel effect of the old model. There are a ton of useful features, but the lack of a rotary control is a MAJOR LETDOWN. This is not because we don't embrace change. No, it is froman accessibility point of view. My wife has arthritis and some days it is bad in her hands. She finds the touch screen dial very much harder to manipulate than a rotary dial. While it may be seen as progress, it is a retrograde step as it impacts the functionality of the machine. You also didn't provide a printed version of the book. I wouldn't mind using the app to look up recipes or how to determine the optimal settings to cook certain things, but it is not possible. The search function on your food app is, not to put too fine a point on it, utterly useless. It doesn't even show burgers when you do a search. This, too, makes the machine less useful than it should be with all the whizz bang electronic updates. This has been rather disappointing to us, as we are long time Bosch users (ovens, hobs, washing machines, dishwashers, as well as toasters, kettles, etc). This because Bosch has always been synonymous with utility, efficiency and longevity and this oven just doesn't live up to our previous ecperiences. Finally, the inserts in the oven that hold the shelves are pure crap and the trays keep getting jammed in them. There is too much movement in them and this is not good enough, either.

Microwave Review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All good at the moment

Kevin

A great multipurpose oven

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this compact multi-functioning oven. Its sleek design is easy on the eye, easy to clean and looks very smart within the kitchen units. The digital controls are very intuitive. It important to register and download the app on your smart phone for the oven so software updates from Bosch can be done automatically. This is something that wasnt explained to us at the time when we bought the oven, but its easy peasy to set up. Very happy with this oven and highly recommend it.

Best oven I’ve owned

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cooks well, heats up quickly and the microwave function works well. Convenient to have an oven and microwave in one appliance.

Smart compact oven/microwave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had this as a compliment to a standard oven as well in a kitchen refit. Like the range of functions to use as an oven, microwave, grill, etc. The touch function outer ring on this device doesn't seem as reactive as the oven itself, but otherwise applicance is great. Like the notifications you get to your phone via the home connect app as well

Fantastic Combination Oven with Excellent Features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the Bosch CMG7241B1B, and I couldn’t be more impressed! This combination oven is a game-changer in my kitchen. The sleek design fits perfectly, adding a modern touch, and the build quality is everything you’d expect from Bosch — solid and reliable. The user-friendly interface makes it easy to navigate through the various cooking options, and the compact oven and microwave combo saves so much space while offering incredible versatility. The even heat distribution ensures perfect results every time, whether I’m baking, roasting, or reheating. Cleaning is also a breeze with the smart design. I highly recommend this appliance to anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen. It’s a premium product worth every penny. Great job, Bosch!

Screen delay in response

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Bosch oven and it's good overall and works as expected The screen has some issues with delays and hanging and no way to reset it. I have been facing issues with screen and operating as there is a lot of delay when pressing buttons and processing of action after pressing cooking mode on Oven.
