Bosch Series 8 CMG7241B1B Single Oven with Microwave Function vs Series 8 HMG7764B1B Built-In Oven with Microwave - Black — Comparison

CMG7241B1B is the Bosch Series 8 CMG7241B1B Single Oven with Microwave Function, priced at £1,099, while HMG7764B1B is the Bosch Series 8 HMG7764B1B Built-In Oven with Microwave in black at £1,349. Both sit in Bosch’s premium Series 8 built-in oven family and both include microwave functionality, but the CMG7241B1B is the compact stainless-steel option, whereas the HMG7764B1B adds more flagship-style convenience features.

The CMG7241B1B measures H:455mm x W:595mm x D:548mm and offers a 45L capacity, electric oven cooking, a microwave function, a built-in grill and a stainless steel finish. The HMG7764B1B also includes a built-in microwave, but adds a built-in air fryer, pyrolytic cleaning and Home Connect smart app control. The CMG7241B1B gives clear compact dimensions and capacity, making it easier to plan into a stacked kitchen layout; the HMG7764B1B focuses on wider cooking modes, automatic cleaning and connected control.

The CMG7241B1B suits smaller premium kitchens, secondary oven spaces or households that want fast microwave-assisted cooking without committing to the very top price. Its 45L cavity is smaller, but useful for daily meals, reheating and grilling. The HMG7764B1B suits buyers who want more from one built-in appliance, especially air frying, app features and pyrolytic cleaning for reduced maintenance. The £250 difference buys extra functions rather than just a simple capacity upgrade.

Bottom line: "choose CMG7241B1B if you want a compact Series 8 oven-microwave with 45L capacity and built-in grill / opt for HMG7764B1B if air frying, pyrolytic cleaning and Home Connect are worth the higher £1,349 price."
