Bosch FFL023MS2B review and specifications
FFL023MS2B · Stainless Steel
Editorial review Reviewed 4 October 2026 How we assess products
The Bosch FFL023MS2B suits cooking jobs where deliberate power and timing adjustments matter. Its digital controls, selectable 90–800W settings and saved favourite help with repeated tasks. A 20L cavity and 27cm turntable suit ordinary plates, while seven AutoPilot programmes offer shortcuts once you learn their codes. The headline 800W output is regulated down to 600W during longer runs; chicken defrosting can partly cook the edges. The small window limits visibility and the stainless-steel front shows fingerprints. Its moisture-based cleaning aid loosens splashes but still needs wiping. RHM2017 costs less for easier everyday controls; Sage adds a soft-close door and mute button.
