> Bosch is bosch really a "high-end" appliances company? I always considered it mid-range company, producing appliances for the middle-class.

Bosch has a lot of product lines at many levels of quality/value and features. A buddy of mine was an engineer on a project that cloned the Miele G7xxx (their top-of-the-line dishwasher), their version is in the same class as a Miele G7 and the (extremely high) price is comparable too.

Definitely middling quality and design. Our Bosch dishwasher has the worst UI. Nothing exterior at all, only buttons inside the door itself. There's a secret button combo to set the "done" alarm to one of 4 volume settings: too loud, even louder, why is this so f'ing loud, and silent. So you either get a horrible noise that rings intermittently until you open it, or you get to play guessing games.

  Our Breville toaster oven has the same loudness settings, but only 3 total. You clearly have the ability to set the loudness - give me a really quiet (but not silent) option damnit. I have a baby in the house.

    Just crack it open and either clip the leads to the "speaker" or put a few layers of tape over it. I too hate appliances with loud beeps - or the new annoying trend of playing songs (usually from the Asian manufacturers). Love my Breville toaster oven though - thing is so stinking versatile and by far the best of any I have ever used. We use it as an oven far more than as a toaster. Perfect for heating/baking most stuff without heating up the entire house like the regular oven does. We have the one that also has the air fry mode - use that mode all the time to cook vegetables that are delicious and a lot healthier too. Did I mention we really love our Breville toaster oven? And to think I originally chose it because it was the only one I could find that had a stinking light inside?

      My microwave used to beep 6 times when finished. Even if you opened the door it would still do all 6 super loud beeps. It became a race to get there with one second left to stop it. Also every press of any key would emit a loud beep. Stupid. So I opened it up and snipped the stupid buzzer a while back. It's so much nicer to have a silent microwave now.

  Funny, there is another comment in this thread that counts the interior buttons as a feature. Can't please everyone I guess.
