First I wouldn't buy a combo oven/MW. If one breaks, you're out of luck with both. Better to get both separate and then put one above the other.

Secondly, I wouldn't get KA at all. I had Bosch in my last kitchen and will be putting Bosch in my new kitchen.

I'm putting in a Bosch 500 oven (had the 800 in my condo but I do most cooking on the cooktop so don't need a fancy oven), the Bosch 800 induction cooktop and a Bosch Integrated FD fridge/freezer

I agree with Cpartist. I wouldn't do a combo unit unless you have electrical load restrictions (40A for combo vs. 30A + 20A for separate units). Also, the speed oven in the combo unit is rated at 950 W. From reading the specs it seems to be a glorified countertop microwave, and not a real speed oven. If you intend to use it mainly as a microwave, consider going with a single oven and a countertop microwave with a trim kit. I can't speak from experience, but I have been considering oven options off and on for about 11 months now. I would choose Bosch over KA, although the Bosch oven doesn't have that beautiful blue interior of the KA.

Thank you both but we are going with Bosch combo speed oven. We have had Bosch ovens and dishwashers in 4 previous homes (not this one) and knock on wood had very few issues. While we might be inconvenienced should we need service, we decided that for a few reasons the combo works best for our needs. This is replacing a 24" ancient Magic Chef and going on a short wall with a 30" cooktop so we are trying to streamline our look, not have to spend $ on having another outlet put in versus single hardwire that exists, an extra platform built into cabinet and the MW is 1,000w, speed oven & convection & more than meets our needs. I spoke to a few reputable dealers who would be happy to sell the combo or 2 units and none of them reported hearing of anymore issues with the combo unit than single oven & MW.

Hi there, I see you haven't had your Bosch appliances for long but we too are deciding between KA and Bosch combo, how do you like yours so far?

Hi Rachel - my new Bosch appliances are in my living room waiting for our remodel to start in a couple of weeks.

I have had Bosch ovens and cooktops in the past and never had any issues.

I have had a Bosch DW of one model or another for years and love them.

We got the Bosch at a great price locally and since we bought 3 qualifying items will be getting a 10% rebate.

While I have always loved the blue interior of the KA, I decided to stay with Bosch.

Can update you after first of the year when we have a newly remodeled kitchen & appliances have been installed.

Thanks.

Even the good appliance store my clients shop at tell them to never buy a MW wall oven in one piece so do what youwant but then don’t ask for advice. Honestly when did matching appliance handleshave anything to do with good kitchen desig\n

Dallas thanks for the input, please let me know once you have the piece up and installed.

Love how our Bosch appliances look installed. Just wrapping up the remodel so haven’t used them yet but the slim profile in our small galley kitchen looks awesome. I am glad I went with the Bosch vs KA so All handles match. Very excited to see all this come to fruition. This is combo oven, induction cooktop and hood. ❤️❤️❤️

I'm trying to decide between KA and Bosch as well. How have you liked your Bosch combo wall unit?
