The 300 Series microwave has a spacious cavity and a variety of modes to accomplish everyday cooking tasks, from large to small, and is intended for installation over ranges. An efficient and powerful vent also handles smoke and odors with ease. Built with Bosch quality materials and craftsmanship, this microwave is designed to perform day in and day out.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was purchased to replace a similar Bosch unit that finally failed with an inside metal lining burn after 18 years of faithful service. It is a very nice piece of equipment, with just a few comments.
First, the microwave function is very quiet, a plus. However, the internal vent fan is very loud. More to the point, while air blows out the top vent, there is very little flow into the two-under vent portals, not very efficient removing smoke and odors.
The control and number pad is very difficult to read in normal light. Either the text needs to stand out more, or ideally it would be better if illuminated.
Other than that,, I very much appreciated that Bosch paid for the installation.. Turbolink. Mon Jan 19 2026
