OT: Bosch Kitchen Ovens, Pieces Of Junk Options

[windforfun]

They're overpriced pieces of shit that even Bosch can't repair. Don't buy one.

ps

and if you are in the market for washing machines.
the one remarkable brand that seemed to offer a lower price combined with extraordinary longetivity and reliability was LG.
but i cannot vouch for them now.
i have two clients with 20 year old LG washer dryers. still going strong.
and i have one that i bought for myself at the same time.
its drain pump failed and i replaced it. was easier than working on a 914.
the machine lasted exactly 18 years before the pump finally failed.
and i caused it to happen. a 20 cent coin somehow managed to get down the drain hose and into the pump. caused the pump axle to fail under the suction load it induced.
not bad stuff as i had the machine apart and inspected its interior.
actually beautifully built for a washing machine. good as the germans.
korean.

dunno what the equipment is like 2 decades later. none of my clients are installing them.
the swedish brand asko seems to be the new go to for dishwashers. very well made.

miele still make a basic oven without all the push buttons programming functions etc for the sake of @fixer34 . know what you mean. any decent cook only needs three things.
a temp gauge that is accurate, an oven that holds heat and is well insulated and a timer.
period. the rest of it is b.s. the basic miele model is still more or less that thing.
