Bosch built-in microwaves fit into your kitchen units to free up worktop space, and this range draws on the Series 2, Series 4 and Series 8 lines. It covers three types: microwave-only models for reheating and defrosting, a microwave with grill, and compact combination ovens that bake and roast as well, so it suits anyone from a household wanting a tidy reheating spot to a cook after a second oven.

The Bosch built-in microwave ovens are microwave-only, with a left-hinged side-opening door, 20 to 25 litre capacities and 800 W or 900 W power. Each has seven automatic programmes and hydrolytic cleaning. Most use a turntable, while the Series 8 model has a glass base cavity, a TFT display and inverter heating, which delivers steady power at low settings rather than pulsing on and off, helpful for defrosting and gentle warming. For browning too, the Bosch built-in microwave oven and grill is a Series 8 design with a drop-down door, 36 litres, 1000 W microwave power, a 1.9 kW grill and ten automatic programmes.

The Bosch built-in combi microwaves add convection heating, so they can bake and roast on their own or team fan heat with microwaves to cook faster. Series 4 models offer 44 litres, a turntable and retractable rotary dials, with manual cleaning. Series 8 models offer 45 litres, three shelf levels, inverter heating, a digital control ring and Home Connect app control, plus a choice of cleaning: steam, partial catalytic and hydrolytic, or pyrolytic, which burns residue to ash at high temperature.

Start with how you cook. If it is mostly reheating, a microwave-only model is enough, and power and capacity decide between them. Choose the grill model for crisping and browning, or a combi if you want a second oven, then let cleaning method and app control settle Series 4 against Series 8.
