BOV900BSS vs. BOV860BSS: The Real Difference

Both ovens use Element IQ and offer 13 cooking functions. The BOV900BSS has a larger interior, meaningful if you regularly cook 9x13 baking dishes or full chickens. The BOV860BSS handles up to a 13-inch pizza and fits most common dishes, just with tighter clearance.

For the majority of households, the BOV860BSS is the smarter purchase. You get the same cooking precision at a lower price point, with more color options to match your kitchen.
