Bosch refrigerators are famous for their reliability and functionality. The equipment is distinguished by a thoughtful design, a convenient arrangement of shelves. New technologies expand the possibilities of food storage. How to choose a refrigerator? In the review we will consider the most interesting models.
Features of Bosch refrigerators
Where are Bosch refrigerators assembled? The original manufacturing country of the equipment is Germany, but now Bosch equipment is assembled in Russia. It all started in 1886, and today the company does not stop there: every year billions of dollars are invested in the development of new technologies. Inhabitants of 150 countries of the world use refrigeration equipment from Bosch.
Types and sizes are different, everyone can choose based on their needs and the number of people in the family.
- Freestanding combined refrigerators with a bottom freezer are in demand. Because the fridge compartment is used more often, you won’t have to bend over every time.
- Single chamber cabinet without freezer compartment. With the new Vita Fresh 0° technology, food retains its nutrients, shape and colour.
- Side-by-Side refrigerators for large kitchens and families. Two doors hide behind a freezer and refrigerator compartment. Provides convenient storage and excellent visibility.
- Built-in models for lovers of ergonomic solutions. Appliances will hide in the closet, which is part of the kitchen.
One and two compressor refrigerators to choose from. The presence of two motors allows you to separately regulate the temperature in the chambers, as well as turn off one of them if necessary.
Cooling type
Today, manufacturers offer three cooling options:
- Drip (Direct cool). Needs defrosting at least once every six months. Due to the “weeping evaporator”, the condensate freezes, forming frost on the walls.
- Know Frost (no frost). Existence of fans provides uniform distribution of temperature. Constant air circulation does not allow moisture to accumulate and freeze.
- low frost. This is a new development of the company. The special design of the evaporator makes it possible to minimize the temperature difference between compartments. Optimum humidity is maintained, so the food does not dry out.
Energy Efficiency
The refrigerator is one of the largest consumers of energy in the home. It is better to choose a more expensive model, but with optimal power consumption A + and A ++. Such equipment will consume 23-40% less electricity than class A representatives.
Some Bosch models come with a 10-year warranty. The coupon covers repair costs during this period.
Inner space
The chambers accommodate shelves and storage boxes. Bosch has developed containers for long-term storage of individual products:
- Chiller Box is ideal for storing fish and meat products. Maintains cool temperatures and low humidity.
- Hydro Fresh – high humidity helps preserve vegetables, fruits, salads.
- Vita Fresh includes two climate zones: 50% humidity for keeping fish, and 95% for fruits and vegetables.
Functions and technologies
Operation should be simple and clear. Therefore, manufacturers have developed Freshsense technology: a special sensor measures the ambient temperature and adjusts the climate inside the chamber. Thus, there is no load on the compressor, in addition, the technology works automatically, without user intervention.
And also:
- AntiBacteria. Antibacterial coating allows you to store food in hygienic conditions. Silver ions prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi.
- Vacation mode. When you go on vacation, you can leave the freezer compartment running as usual, and set the refrigerator compartment to economical energy consumption.
- IceTwister allows you to quickly prepare ice for soft drinks.
So that you can compare features, features and cost, we will present a rating of popular models, according to customer reviews.

The purchase of a refrigerator was approached responsibly. I have only one room in my apartment, so a loud unit would ruin my whole life. The German assembly is good, besides, the reviews were pleased. Works KIN86AF30 is really quiet. Although the height is only 1,77, which is very small compared to two-meter devices, everything inside is organized correctly. The shelves are rearranged so that there is room for large pots.
I liked the No Frost system. Food lasts longer, as defrosting is performed much less frequently. A couple of hours is enough to turn off and wash the compartments, because the ice does not freeze. The only downside to this model is the price. Not everyone will be able to shell out such an amount for equipment. But finding another built-in device of this quality is difficult.
