The hinges are weak and mine bent (although I have a suspicion that it
was a house guest who leaned down on the door). They were replaced under
warranty. I use the convection bake mode for everything including the
xmas turkey! The thermostat is poorly placed for other modes and in
convection roast the temp varies =/- 50F. Made in Italy!
I'm not impressed by Bosch. Consumer Reports consistently praise their
dishwashers but mine is very noisy.
I'm thinking of replacing both, but with what I don't know. Miele would
be nice but I can't justify the expense for this house.
