Speed oven how noisy are they?

3 years ago

I am Remodeling and looking at a Bosch speed oven to go in a cabinet that has the family room on the other side. I’m concerned about noise since we would be in family while oven is on or after we turned it off. Rep say they are on the noisy side. Wondering what other people have experienced? Other brand suggestions?

If the rep is a rep from Bosch and not just a general sales person believe them. They would normally not mention sound. Most because of the fans will have some noise but a lot would depend on the insulation in the wall. Have you talked to your contractor about sound insulating that wall. I am puzzled about the "after we turned it off".

How noisy is a Thermador oven supposed to be?
Q
Comments (64)
@dadoes@Michael Mais: I'll second what dadoes said. Can you call the retailer and explain that your brand-new range isn't working? I would think they have some avenue with Thermador to return it as a bad unit -- which might put some heat on Thermador to get a tech out to you. Other options if you can't get to the plug: 1)power cycle the range using the breaker, 2)Get the oven up a reasonably hot temp (450) and then turn it off and see if it unsticks the thermostatic fan switch. 3)Disconnect it from the wifi*/remote control if it has that feature. There may be a "reset" option in the range menu that will do this. 4)If not connected to wifi -- connect it and see if it downloads a firmware upgrade. *My range is the "connected" version. When I connected it to the wifi/phone last year there was an annoying loud clicking noise. that would go on incessantly -- whether we were using it or not. When I disconnected it from the wifi it would stop. This is with no cooking going on. I repeated this a few times with the same results. I suspected it's some software/firmware bug and decided to wait to call in the warranty service to give them time to get a fix. Also hoping in part hoping that the fan noise might have a new fix.

Monogram oven and Advantium or Electrolux oven and speed oven

Don't like the knob? That's funny. I love the knob. It almost always does what I expect it to. I hit the quick microwave button: 30 seconds on the time and it turns on. I can flick the knob to add or subtract time on the clock any time before it finishes. (Peek inside. "5" "4" Hmm, not bubbling yet. Spin knob. "3" "4,5,6,7,8,9,10" "9" "8") So handy! I'm making grilled cheese sandwiches (which the Advantium does perfectly), Press "speedcook." spin dial to "sandwiches" and push dial to select. Spin to "cheese" and press. Spin to "1-2 sandwiches" and press. Press one last time to start. Easy, obvious, and soooo much better that poking at those gawdawful membrane buttons that most machines use. Set the timer? Press the 'timer" button. Spin knob to number of minutes, and press. Spin knob for seconds. Press. I can flick the edge of the knob and zing! I've got 40+ seconds dialed in, in a flash. Holding down an "up" button and waiting for the seconds to count up is awful by comparison.

Thermador speed oven (MC30WS) or other Speed oven recs?
Q

We have a stack of a Miele CSO and a Miele SpeedOven in a tall cabinet. The SpeedOven is at about eye level. I love the combination and would absolutely recommend it, if you have the space and the budget. But I am sure I could easily adjust to having the SpeedOven under the counter. We have a traditional gas range, and it comes with an "undercounter" oven, of course. We use this oven quite frequently, because of its very powerful infrared broiler. And that requires close inspection of the food while it is in the oven. Only takes a couple of seconds to go from barely brown to catching on fire. If I can handle staring deep into my oven, I am sure I can handle a microwave at the same level. That placement is maybe not ideal, but every kitchen is an exercise in compromises; and this seems to be one of the less annoying ones.

Speed ovens fan noise - how noisy are they?
Q
Comments (1)
I think finding out the noise of appliances really is hard. The only showroom sales people I've met who know anything about it are those who seem to have been there a long time and just get word-of-mouth feedback from people. It's definitely frustrating.

thanks so much for your reply!

the store rep asked the Bosch rep after I asked how noisy it was. He replied that the Bosch rep said all Bosch ovens are noisy! I currently have a kitchen aid oven/micro combo. ( at least 5 years old), And it is very Noisy after you turn oven off. Fan seems to go on forever. So the first thing I thought of when looking at our remodel design is that the Bosch speed oven would now go into a cabinet that backs up to family room. Appliance showrooms don’t allow you to actually turn it on and off to judge sound and I can t find noise specs on any of the speed ovens! Store rep said he would check with Miele and wolf reps regarding noise. Not sure if its a tactic to up sell?

I have speed bake built into my regular oven. I do not think it is noisy at all. Just sounds like a fan.

Can you insulate that wall before installing oven? That should help somewhat with noise level.

I'm not sure what makes it "speed". I have a GE Trivection which does speed bake by adding a little bit of microwave to the regular oven...not enough to be a separate microwave, but enough to cook the insides faster while the regular oven heat browns. Noise is no different than when it's running on convection...you hear the fan running.

I have a Bosch that has a speed convection setting if that’s what you’re referring to. The fan can be quite loud but the oven itself is a workhorse.

to cmm: they have something new called speed ovens that mix microwave , convection and oven and would work as a second oven /warming drawer for us. I currently have a kitchen aid wall unit oven (old one) that is so loud after turning it off that I'm afraid this might be the same but now its against a wall that has family room on other side!

I have an Advantium 240 (speed oven and microwave combo) and don't find it too loud. Pretty hot, yes, but that's the point.
