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.

We just buy normal brands from the big box stores and they seem to last long enough that when they need replacement, I’m not unhappy. Other than replacing a belt and bushing on our dryer ($35 & 45 minutes) I haven’t repaired or replaced an appliance in years. LG, Samsung, Maytag, etc. Nothing high end. One of our recently replaced hvac has taken more repairs than it should but it has a 10 year warranty so at least it’s not any money out of my pocket. I also don’t buy expensive kitchen and clothes appliances so if they need replacement, it’s a couple hundred bucks.

My dad buys high end appliances that seem to need repairs more often than I would expect. They are too expensive to just replace without digging deep. They look high end but don’t act like it.

My dishwasher saga went back 2 years before the BOSCH. We bought a middle of the road dishwasher, an LG I think, it crapped out after 2 years. Called a fix it man, he said chuck it, they can't be fixed. That's why we paid double for the BOSCH thinking it would be better, it wasn't. I've now bought what is hopefully the last dishwasher I will ever see, guaranteed 20 years. Miele, German made, supposed to be the best, I hope so for the price.
