Bosch Ovens: Difference between 500 and 800 Series?
Comments (7)You probably know, at least by now, that the 500 series also has the fast preheat. I have been searching and searching through my emails and old forum posts, because I KNOW there is someone who has both a 500 and an 800 series oven in her kitchen. Perhaps Faleash. Anyway, I think the only difference is the knobs vs touch panel, and the lack of telescoping rack. You said the 500 also doesn't do the temperature conversion, but I don't consider that a necessary feature, or even desired for myself. Did you know you can order the telescoping racks for either oven? You could get 2 or 3 for the price difference in the ovens. I consider knobs a plus, so that's what I'd do in your shoes. Truthfully, I seriously considered Bosch when I had to replace my oven recently, but was a little turned off by 2 things: Their service has a less than stellar reputation, although I heard from someone (Mindstorm) whose oven was damaged and she found the manufacturer quite helpful and prompt with helping her. 2) No track record for these new models yet. Mindstorm, who did extensive scientific research on ovens before choosing hers, had the older 'European-born' 700 series Bosch and chose to have the same model put in, even though it was no longer the current model. She was so happy with what she'd had, she didn't want to take a chance on something new and different. Appliance salespeople just didn't know what to tell me about the reliability of these new ovens, as they haven't sold enough and for long enough to have received customer feedback. This tentative attitude from everyone made me a little nervous. If you do a search for my user name and ovens at the bottom of the appliance and/or kitchen forum pages, you will find a few recent threads, and some happy Bosch owners did chime in. Hope it helps, and best wishes on your oven decision....See MoreDifferences between Bosch 800 series dishwashers?
Comments (7)The difference are the ones that you stated - SHX has the bar handle, SHP is the pocket handle and SHE is the recessed handle. I did go to showrooms to checkout all three. I liked SHE because, I like the front display, you can easily tell how much longer it will take to finish. So we got that for our new house, and so far I am very happy with it. With the other two models the control is at the top and when it is closed and running you don't see the display that easily - which might be desirable just for the look - it is a sleeker look for sure. Functionality wise these models are all the same - all have 3rd rack, DBA is exactly the same. There is another model that is lower Dba (means quieter) but its not worth (IMO) the extra price....See MoreWhy Get a Bosch Benchmark 800 Instead of a Bosch 800?
Comments (4)I don't know where you are shopping, but no one has all the models. An appliance store that caters to builders and remodelers is probably the best bet for finding a Benchmark and they may be able to order the others if you want to order something you haven't seen. It is possible that a model has been dropped along the way -- have you loooked at any online vendors to see if they have it (AJ Madison, Yale Apppliance, etc.) or asked about the availability of the 7 model you are interested in? I even called the BSH showroom out in LA to ask questions about the models - the guy I talked to was very helpful. I found a 7 or 800 series at Best Buy that would have been fine if I hadn't needed the panel ready -- but I wasn't ready to give that up. That would have saved me $400 on the sale price, but I bought when I got a $200 rebate on the Benchmark so the net was $200 more than the Best Buy model and $100 more than the lower Benchmark (was $200 less but only had a $100 rebate). For a $100 net difference, DH wanted the quieter rating. We got the interior light and the control panel strip is metal rather than plastic (you may get buttons on the non-Benchmark rather than the flush touch controls). I have looked for the comparison chart I know I saved, but I can't find it right now. If I find it I will come back....See MoreHelp w/ Wiring an Aprilaire 700M Humidifier Zone Controller and Ecobee
Comments (0)Hello All, I'm trying to prepare to install my Aprilaire 700M. I'm trying to wire it the same way as the attached picture in color from the Amazon review to work with my Ecobee 4. However, my setup has a zone controller where I have two thermostats connected to the zone controller that can both call for heat on two different levels of the house independently(One Furnace with Electric Dampers). I need to be able to wire this so that either thermostat can call for the furnace fan to turn on and the humidifier to turn on independent of turning the heat on. What changes would I have to make to incorporate the zone controller and my second thermostat, in the same fashion as the picture attached with just one thermostat? I have attached several picture for clarification. Let me know if any more information is needed to try to assist. Thanks in advance for any help....See Morepprioroh
