Where to buy the Bosch CSG7361B1 combination steam oven
🏆 Review & price summary
The Bosch CSG7361B1 built-in compact oven packs steam cooking, 4D Hotair, Air Fry, grilling, regeneration and Home Connect into a 45cm-high format. Its 47-litre cavity, A+ efficiency and broad accessory package make it a strong choice for compact or stacked kitchens, although the smaller single cavity and optional specialist accessories limit its flexibility compared with larger or more fully equipped ovens.

The oven includes an Air Fry programme, but Bosch lists the dedicated Air Fry & Grill tray as optional.
Compact steam cooking with a useful 47-litre cavity
The Bosch CSG7361B1 built-in compact oven combines a 47-litre cavity with Steam Function Plus, supporting steam cooking at temperatures up to 120°C. Steam can be combined with selected hot-air, conventional-heat, hot-air grilling and warming modes, giving it more flexibility than a basic steam-only appliance.
Its 45cm height makes it suitable for compact or stacked kitchen layouts, although the cavity is smaller than that of a full-height 60cm single oven. The single cavity also means it cannot provide the simultaneous cooking capacity of a double oven.
Strong everyday cooking specification
Bosch lists 21 heating and combination modes, including 4D Hotair, Air Fry, full-width and half-width grilling, conventional heat, pizza cooking, low-temperature cooking, defrosting, regeneration and warming. The 30°C to 250°C temperature range covers standard baking and roasting as well as lower-temperature cooking.
4D Hotair is designed to distribute heat across the cavity, while Hotair Gentle and Conventional Heat Gentle provide lower-energy cooking options for suitable dishes. An Air Fry programme is built in, but Bosch lists the dedicated Air Fry & Grill tray as an optional accessory rather than part of the supplied equipment.
Controls, cleaning and connectivity
The enlarged TFT Touch Display Plus works with Bosch's Digital Control Ring, replacing conventional rotary controls with touch-based selection and adjustment. Home Connect adds app-based monitoring and control, notifications and connected cooking assistance when the oven is linked to the required account and home network.
Cleaning support includes EcoClean Direct, a hydrolytic cleaning programme and Steam Clean. Bosch also specifies a full-glass inner door, an automatic safety switch-off, a child or control-panel lock and a drop-down door with SoftClose and SoftOpen functions.
Installation and energy use
This is an electric built-in appliance measuring 455 x 594 x 548mm. It requires a niche measuring 450–455mm high, 560–568mm wide and 550mm deep, so cabinet dimensions should be checked carefully before installation.
The A+ energy label places it in the strongest efficiency band used for this product's published rating scale. Bosch quotes energy consumption of 0.73kWh per conventional cycle and 0.61kWh per fan-forced convection cycle. Telescopic rails are available as an additional accessory rather than supplied as standard.
What is included
The supplied accessories comprise a wire grid, a universal pan, a punched XL steam container, a punched medium steam container and an unpunched medium steam container. The external 1.0-litre water tank supports the steam functions without taking space inside the cooking cavity.
The accessory package is useful for steam cooking from the outset, but buyers wanting the dedicated Air Fry & Grill tray or level-independent telescopic rails will need to obtain those separately.
Research note: this BestBuysUK assessment is based on the manufacturer's published specifications and other reputable technical sources. Specifications and retailer availability can change, so verify critical details before purchase.
