Benchmark was released very recently, so it's unlikely you'll get a ton of opinions. Reports on the previous generation of Bosch ovens on this forum, however, has been positive. It's certainly a sharp-looking design. One good thing is that from the picture, it appears that the top speed oven and the bottom main oven have separate control boards. If one goes down, you don't lose the other.

They don't say explicitly, but the Bosch website says to refer to model HMC80251UC for upper oven info, which is a 240 volt speed oven, so I'm assuming that's true of the combo as well.

We're looking at the Bosch 800 series speed oven/convection double oven combo or the pricier benchmark series. Its been hard to find many reviews on these, any thoughts/opinions? Thanks!

I had not seen "You can not combine these two modes manually" in the manual, so thank you for pointing that out. AutoChef items are the only items the Bosch Benchmark will speed cook: 1-chicken breast 2-chicken thigh 3-whole chicken 4-beef roast 5-pork tenderloin 6-pork chops 7-meat loaf 8-fish fillet 9-brownies Yes, my mileage may vary, but I find this pretty limiting when the Advantium has 100. Granted, I would probably use about 20 of the Advantium's, but that is 100%+ more than the Bosch is offering. Answer found. Unfortunately this likely means upgrading to the Monogram Advantium for flush mounting and to more closely match the Bosch wall oven. Cha-Ching.
