Bosch HGS5053UC 500 30" Stainless Steel Gas Sealed Burner Range - Convection

Bosch HGS5053UC 500 30" Stainless Steel Gas Sealed Burner Range - Convection

Bought Unseen - Got the Simple Quality Product I Desired
Firstly, let me say that I bought this as a special order item from the blue box store. My order was something of a gamble due to the relative shortage of online reviews, so I hope that I can be of help to others interested in this product who may be shying away from the same gamble.

Despite the "sight unseen" special order concerns above, my wife and I we were drawn to this model for a couple reasons (in approximately this order):

(1) None of the "in stock" models (at several local retailers) and within our reasonably flexible mid range budget jumped out at us.

(2) The simple & clean look of this appliance was appealing, as was the 5th burner.

(3) After seeing (and barely hearing) my aunt and uncle's Bosch dishwasher, we definitely wanted one. At the time of our purchase (an entire house worth of appliances), a factory sponsored Bosch promo gave a 10% instant rebate on the purchase of 3+ Bosch appliances. Being fairly resolute on the...

BOSCH #HGS5053
When we started looking for a replacement for our old gas range, I put in a few hours of research on the Internet and came up with BOSCH. They have a strong reputation for well-built, reliable appliances (and tools), and the customer reviews are for the most part more favorable than for all other brands. There were a few customers who had minor complaints (such as, "the display panel is too sensitive and therefore hard to clean without resetting clock, turning on oven or timer, etc.") but we have not found any of them to apply to our subsequent experience with our new Bosch range.

We were considering a dual-fuel range with gas cooktop and electric convection oven but chose to go with all gas, with a gas convection oven. We LOVE it! At first we thought that the convection fan didn't work, but a quick online check with a helpful Sears technician revealed what the manual failed to point out: for this particular model (BOSCH #HGS5053) wait 6 minutes for the fan to start up when...

Great Range some issues.
First of all make sure reviews you read are specific to the model featured here. This is not a slide-in model with the oven controls in the front...so the venting issue mentioned is non-existent. Too many reviews on products on Amazon tend to be for different model numbers or similar devices that don't pertain to the models.

So based on this free-standing oven with the oven controls in the rear I will say this...

I've own a Bosch dishwasher for about a year and love it. Just got the 500-series Bosch range and Microwave. I won't review the microwave here as it doesn't pertain, but it is a nice unit and works fine so far.

Stove top: this model has four bruners and a fifth oval shaped burner in the middle. this one works well for griddles or warming large roasting pans for making gravy, etc. Thesuper burner on the front right is supposed to boil water faster. While it seems to burn hotter and more intense, I didn't seem to notice a huge difference in boil...

With the help of Bosh appliances the things you do every day are easier and more enjoyable Whether its the industry-leading silence of their dishwashers the ingenious engineering and the time-saving features of their cooking products or the unmatched...

Amana 4.8 cu. ft. Self-Cleaning Electric Range, AER5830VAW, White

Great cooking features, good design
The Amana AER5830VAW Self-Cleaning Electric Range has been an excellent appliance so far. This is the first time I've owned an Amana, but I've owned/used several Whirlpool, Maytag, and GE ranges. Of course, these days many are all manufactured by one or two companies. The AER5830VAW has a good combination of aesthetic design and useful features.

I consider the look and design of this range to have a bit of a modern feel with classic details. The glass ceramic cooktop is sleek and inviting. The top of the range with the knobs and control center is a bit more classic. It does have an easy touch digital control center for timers, oven temperature, etc. The front of the unit is fairly standard, but I really like the extra-large oven window. That combined with a bright interior light gives you a great view of what is cooking without having to open the door.

The glass ceramic cooktop is great. So far, it's been easy to maintain and clean. The heating elements...

Great all around appliance; quick to heat up.
I am a fan of this stove (the Amana AER5830VAW). First off, the measurements were spot on, and the 30" width was exactly right for the snug space it was fitted into between two cabinets, which is always a concern.

The glass cooking surface heats up VERY quickly, especially compared to my old Kenmore unit, which is pretty great. I've also found the surface very easy to clean all the way to the raised edges, and I haven't had any problem or concerns around chipping or scratching yet, and find the dark surface (i) contrasts nicely with the white body, and (ii) makes little splashes of spaghetti sauce or whatever much less noticeable than on some white surfaces. Plus, the surface really does look good.

While I haven't done this yet, the oven space itself is spacious enough to put a roasting pan with a turkey into it without feer that it is too tight. It has (possibly standard?!) 5 tray racks for raising/lowering the racks, so nothing too unusual there. It came...

Beautiful and classy Range, projects an upscale image even for this affordable model
First of all let me say that Amazon's appliance program is a hit with me. The JB Hunt delivery service was flawless, and the installation folks were very professional and communicated well. I have had installation services from Sears and Home Depot, this program from Amazon was just as good if not better. I would have all the confidence in the world purchasing again.

On the the range:

The range itself is nice and simple in many of its features, except the actual stove top. Which is fantastic. The electric flat surface is really nice and is a bit of a "wow" thing when you first see it.

I personally had this unit installed in a rental property and the appearance is very "upscale" without being too much so.

The cooking surface is flat with a raised lip to catch liquids that spill and is super easy to keep clean, compared to traditional cooking surfaces.

Because the old range was hauled away, I couldn't do a completely unbiased "speed...

Kitchen Aid 30 In. Black Electric Range - KESS907SBL

Kitchen Aid 30 In. Black Electric Range - KESS907SBL

KitchenAid electric range, Model KESS907SSS - our mistake
KITCHENAID RANGE COOLING FAN
1. This KitchenAid cooling fan starts blowing as soon as the oven is turned on, and runs until the oven is turned off, or the convection mode cool down completes.
2. This range cooling fan exhaust area is 8" above the floor and 27" long and reaches at least 5.5 feet out from the front of the range.
3. Anyone in the kitchen while this KitchenAid oven is in use, is subject to a "breeze" on lower legs and feet.
4. The KitchenAid fan exhaust breeze may not be as aggravating in cooler weather, but possibly will be a major issue in warmer weather.
5. Based on friends with competitor ranges, this KitchenAid cooling fan is louder, more annoying, and distracting than those models. We had to increase the volume of the TV in the kitchen to compensate for the fan noise.

After using the oven just once, we told the dealer that we wanted to exchange it for a different manufacturers' range. We would not recommend that this...

Happy with our KitchenAid KESS907SSS
We purchased our stove a few weeks ago and conclude the following:

Two of these reviews are on several sites and I suspect that someone has an ax to grind and is on a writing campaign.

If you try real hard you can feel air coming from the front vents, but it is barely noticeable. Most stoves have front vents and this is not uncommon.

I agree that the angle of the controls could be a little less vertical, but that would leave them more exposed to spills. You can opt for a free standing stove and reach over hot pots to get to the controls.
You would have to be a contortionist to turn the knob and turn on a burner with your hip.

The fan is not any louder than our very expensive Dacor was. Now that was a piece of junk.

We only cook food so nothing condensates so bad that it drips to the floor.

The top is no harder to clean than any other smooth top range. Razor blades are a fact of life with any smooth top and food...

fantastic stove
Looks great. Was concerned with the objections that people wrote online:
--fan: not that loud. Almost everything is louder in the kitchen.
--controls: they do bump on/off easily. solution, lock the controls (which is easy to do and probably the best option for every hip-level appliance when you have toddlers).
--functionality: fantastic so far.

Love It
Arrived several days passed the stated delivery period. Home Direct brought it into the living room, but refused to install the range, citing their delivery schedule. Even offered to pay them, but to no avail. I'm handicapped, so it took me 3 hours to remove from the shipping box, which had caved in on the top, install the new power cord (purchased from Sears), pull out the old range, push in this new Amana. My wife assisted me, so she was a tremendous help.

Everything work beautifully, so am pleased with this purchase, and with this company.
