Bosch HES7132U freestanding electric range
Date Published: 6/23/08
Bosch's HES7132U is a titanium-colored range that gives your kitchen a gentle, soothing look. This model moves away from sterile stainless by combining white with titanium for a new soft, neutral tone; combined with other whites and neutral colors, this range can give your kitchen a pure, soothing, clean feel.
A calming color, however, isn't the only thing to like about this 700-series model from Bosch; it also includes plenty of modern features that provide you the latest conveniences in electric cooking. The HES7132U includes a third-element convection oven with a handy conversion setting, a temperature probe and a handy lower warming drawer; you can use these advanced features to bake and roast evenly, prepare meat by internal temperature and to keep completed dishes warm until serving time, respectively.
This range's upper smooth-top surface offers four flat, wipe-to-clean elements and includes one high-speed element that expands to heat pans of up to 12 inches in diameter. You can use this larger, faster element for your high-heat tasks, such as bringing a large pot of water to a boil in a relatively short amount of time.
Below the cooking elements, you'll find a self-cleaning oven that takes full advantage of its convection fan for fast, even baking. You can use a variety of cooking modes and pre-programmed cycles for preparation of many meals.
Functionally, this range has a lot to offer, although the usefulness of the cooktop is limited a bit by its single expandable element. When it comes to design, however, the HES7132U is a model that looks aggressively to the future. It's a range that we recommend to those who like to be a step ahead of the times.
Pros: Unique look, convection for cooking and cleaning, temperature probe, 12-inch expandable high-speed element, warming drawer
Cons: Only one expandable element, unusual color may be hard to coordinate with other appliances
