TOP 10 best Bosch refrigerators according to customer reviews

The BOSCH brand has been improving refrigeration technology for over 80 years. All modern models with an innovative system that preserves the freshness of products 5-10% longer. Since 1997, Bosch refrigerators have been assembled in Russia from components. These are models with a standard width of 60 cm. The most important quality that determines the choice, users consider the ergonomics of internal cameras and build quality.

In my rating, I included models with a lower freezer, a guarantee for a linear compressor of 10 years, freezing capacity from 4.5 to 18 kg / day and autonomous cold preservation from 14 to 24 hours. Manufacturers were selected different: Russia, China, Germany. I'll tell you about the popular drop models before . I will describe in detail the pros and cons of models with NoFrost from . I will help in choosing the best built-in refrigerator brand.

TOP 3 drop defrost models

I chose to review the NatureCool series. This is a unique BOSCH refrigeration technology. Cooling without forced circulation directly from the evaporator. An excellent option for preserving the freshness of products 10% longer than in conventional refrigerators.

LowFrost cooling system - there are no metal elements in the freezer, an evaporator is installed in the wall. The contact of warm and moist air is excluded, which means that there is no ice on the surfaces.

Bosch KGV36NW1AR

A simple, reliable representative from the NatureCool series. Large capacity refrigeration (223 liters) and freezers (94 liters). Fruit / vegetable compartment with VitaFresh humidity control, volume 26 l, which is equivalent to 2 buckets of apples.

Benefits:

1. Easy to manage.
2. Freshness zone for long-term preservation of products.
3. Ergonomic shelving.
4. Very quiet, noise up to 40 dB. Users in the reviews note that it can even be put in a studio apartment. There is no high-frequency squeak, which is sometimes found on inverter motors.
5. Compact, roomy.
6. Economical to maintain, inexpensive to repair. Few replacement parts.
7. Laconic appearance.
8. You can outweigh the doors.
9. It keeps cold for almost a day (22 hours) when the power is turned off.

Minuses:

1. Manual defrosting of the freezer chamber. For the price in could make the system drip.
2. Sometimes ice appears on the wall of the refrigerator.

By the ratio of positive and negative reviews, the model clearly wins a plus. Reliable assembly, although they are now being produced in the Russian Federation, expert control is felt. Marriage does not occur. No refunds. The volume meets the needs of a family of 4-6 people. And for quiet work - this is an ideal technique for studio apartments, families with young children, offices, cafes. Only the device with Nou Frost will become a replacement for this model, but for a surcharge : the cheapest Bosch KGN36NW14R representative costs .

Bosch KGV36XL2OR

A beautiful two-chamber refrigerator with a metallic color body and false aluminum handles. The model in volume, power of freezing, support for cold is completely similar to Bosch KGV36NW1AR. But the dimensions of the depth are 2 cm less (63/65). Sometimes this becomes a decisive factor if appliances are needed for small or furniture-laden kitchens. More favorable for energy consumption in class A +, 68 kW / year uses less electricity. The difference in price (): as for me, the difference is insignificant for reliable equipment, which will work without problems for 40 years.

Pros:

1. Smooth start of the compressor, without jerking.
2. Beautiful stylish techno design. Interior lighting is LED.
3. Inaudible flow of refrigerant in the pipes.
4. Excellent economical mode of operation 40 min. workers, 40-50 minutes recreation.
5. Ergonomics thought out to trifles. Simple, easy disassembly and rearrangement of shelves.
6. Quality plastic inside and out. There is no chemical smell.
7. “Honest” parameter of volumes. Spacious. With the same dimensions with models of other brands, it holds 5-10% more (verified by users).

Minuses:

1. Does not correspond to the declared noise level of 38 dB. It works much louder.
2. Marked plastic, prints are visible on a silver surface.

With the same basic characteristics with the KGV36NW1AR, the model is a bit narrower, which means less hassle with placing in a forced kitchen. In terms of volume, it is good for any family. You can abandon the Bosch KGV36XL2OR due to noise, especially for those sensitive to night silence. Then you have to change it to a “cheaper” model GV36NW1AR and save .

Bosch KGE39XK2AR

Most expensive (), the highest (200 cm) and roomy (351 l) model TOP-3. The original color of the body in a beige shade is suitable for a kitchen made in pastel colors. In addition to a small depth (63 cm), external handles built horizontally help save space. With an impressive volume and power of freezing (9 kg / day), the device is very economical in energy consumption in class A + - only 307 kWh / year.

Pros:

1. High ergonomics of the organization of internal space. A convenient step for adjusting the height of the shelves. For dairy products, recesses are provided on the side shelf, egg stands.
2. In addition to supporting natural humidity, the LowFrost cooling system increases the speed of freezing, thereby reducing energy consumption, preserving all the valuable ingredients and taste in the products.
3. Defrosting is manual, but with LowFrost technology it will not cause trouble. You will have to defrost once every 7-10 months.
4. Easy control of functions on the LCD display. All information is displayed in real time.
5. Like the two previous models, it keeps cold for 22 hours in the absence of an electrical connection.
6. Enhanced security system. A built-in alarm warns of a malfunction or of a door left open.

Minuses:

1. Noisy at work.
2. Marked body color. The prints remain.

All users are satisfied with the model for the build quality, roomy volume and ergonomics of the refrigerator and freezer. I believe that for families of 5–6 people, as well as for families of 2–3 people, KGE39XK2AR is a good unit. It is better to pay 3 thousand to the price of KGV36XL2OR and buy a refrigerator with a larger volume.

TOP 4 refrigerators with NO Frost

The No Frost system is a technology for cooling products without the formation of ice and frost on the walls of the refrigerator. In the freezer, the products do not freeze, retain all the useful qualities. The “ability” of models to instantly cool products and the availability of superfreezing and supercooling functions are possible thanks to this system. Plus - there is no need to spend time defrosting, although washing once a year is worth hygiene.

Another characteristic feature of the brand's refrigeration equipment is the MultiAirflow system. Each product needs a specific storage temperature. The system creates an even distribution of cold air flows, lowering the temperature at each level, and improves the quality of food safety.

On the minuses: low humidity, quick drying of products, high noise and increased energy consumption.

Bosch KGN36NW14R

I’ll start the review with a small refrigerator rating compared to other participants. Total volume - 287 liters. The choice of customers determined the size of the refrigerator. It is roomy - 221 liters.

Pros:

1. The coating material of the body prevents the formation of fingerprints.
2. There are no protruding parts on the body; the door handle is horizontally integrated.
3. Narrow in width - only 60 cm, which can be inconvenient when placing pots on shelves.
4. The refrigerator compartment has a compartment for storing products with a pungent odor or for those that quickly absorb other flavors.
5. Large box for fruits and vegetables with a corrugated bottom. Condensation does not form in it, vegetables are protected from transient rotting.
6. Strong tempered glass shelves withstand loads up to 40 kg.
7. There is a food storage calendar.

Minuses:

1. Cannot be understaffed with decorative frames.
2. Noisy.
3. Shallow depth, it is difficult to arrange dishes with a wide bottom.

I got the impression that the model is “damp” for . Of all the advantages, the most important is the large volume of the refrigerator. Although I, as the owner of a spacious kitchen, do not have to pay attention to the dimensions of the equipment. If you have a small-sized kitchen, you have already “built up” it with headsets, then for you in this model there are a lot of advantages - compactness combined with a large volume of the main refrigerator compartment. If Nou Frost, in your opinion, is not worth attention, read about the cons, I propose to pay and take the KGE39XK2AR with a drip defrost and a larger capacity.

Bosch KGN39VW17R

Model with a classic design just on more expensive (36500) than the KGN36NW14R. They have the same volume of the refrigerator (221 liters), but our hero has a total volume of more than 315 liters, a larger freezer compartment - 84 liters versus 66 liters. With the same energy class A, the KGN39VW17R has a higher productivity of 14 kg / day (10 kg / day).

Pros:

1. With compact dimensions (200 × 60 × 65 cm) it is very roomy: the total volume is 315 liters.
2. NoFrost system - thawing is not required, frost and ice crust are not formed on the walls of the chambers and on the products.
3. Fast, uniform freezing or cooling of products with the MultiAirflow system.
4. Lack of extraneous and unpleasant odors thanks to the coal filter. There is no mixing of odors, excluded the environment for the development of bacteria.
5. Modern control system, you can set the temperature mode accurate to a degree.
6. An external display makes monitoring easy.
7. Increased security. Built-in indicators monitor an emergency temperature increase, accompany the detection with a sound signal.
8. There is a freshness area with a VitaFresh container. The wave-like bottom of the tank eliminates the contact of vegetables and fruits with condensate.
9. Excellent ergonomics and organization of the internal space. A large number of sets and additional accessories for different types of product packaging.

Minuses:

1. Noisy.
2. The door closes tightly, an effort is required to press it tightly.
3. The door of the freezer is very low, if in a hurry, it beats off toes.

For a kitchen-studio, the model is not suitable - it is noisy, but in the usual "three-ruble note" or "two-room apartment" its work is almost invisible. High productivity of freezing is useful when the products are fully loaded for storage for future use. The normal capacity of the refrigerator for a family of 3-4 people. The Nou Frost system will save working women from a “headache” with regular defrosting, and systems for maintaining the freshness of products will extend storage and will become a budget saving item. At such a price for It’s hard to find a replacement model. Quality and functionality correspond to it. You can abandon Nou Frost and buy KGV36NW1AR with drop defrosting, save but win a little in the volume of the refrigerator / freezer (223/94 l).

Bosch KGN39VI21R

Compact (203 × 60 × 66 cm) and volumetric 366 liters (279/87 liters), I decided to definitely include in the rating. She is very stylish in design. The case is made under the "metallic", successfully combined with modern household appliances. The shade is practical, and the special treatment makes the surface resistant to scratches and corrosion.There is another feature - the coating with a proprietary composition eliminates the appearance of fingerprints on a shiny chrome surface.

Pros:

1. Corresponds to the price () in terms of functionality, ergonomics, build quality.
2. Energy-saving (class A +) with high freezing performance of 15 kg / day.
3. Cold support 16 hours during a power outage - more than the KGN39VW17R (15 hours) and KAN92VI25 (12 hours).
4. Long network cable - 2.4 m: the previous two - 1.6 m.
5. It can be understaffed with decorative frames.
6. Can be placed close to the wall.
7. Like the KGN39VW17R, there is a charcoal filter to remove odors and a freshness zone.
8. Electronic control for each compartment. The screen is displayed on the front side of the door.
9. Automatic correction of the FreshSense microclimate inside the chambers when a sharp change in temperature outside, for example, if sunlight enters the body.

Minuses:

1. Users noted a common minus - cottage cheese dries quickly, if you do not put it in the refrigerator in a special closed container.
2. Noisy, but this is the misfortune of all Know Frost.

Functional, modern refrigeration device surpasses previous models in compactness. Can be installed in niches, an angle close to the wall. The volume is suitable for families of 5-6 people. Product saving features and NoFrost will appeal to housewives and working women. Ergonomics and a large volume (366 l) will allow you to place products without problems and damage to safety. Control over a sharp difference in external temperatures will extend the life of the device and storage of products. What would I suggest replacing it? Only large in volume KAN92VI25, but you will need to pay extra for it .

Bosch KAN92VI25

The only ranking model with Side by Side. The unusual arrangement of the freezer gives extra volume. Capacity is simply impressive - 589 liters. The refrigerator is designed for a large family, for mini-restaurants and cafes. With its impressive parameters, it is economical in energy consumption - class A +. Beautiful stylish stainless steel case. As in KGN39VI21R, the surface is treated with a composition so that there are no stains from fingers and grease.

8. A place with high humidity is provided in the freshness zone.
9. Belonging to the SN-T class supports the normal operation of the device at an ambient temperature of +43⁰. And thawing in the event of a power outage occurs later than indicated in the data sheet: not after 12 hours, but after 15-20 hours.
10. Twist Ice Box Stand.

Minuses:

1. Price - . Expensive even for such a modern giant.
2. Noisy.
3. Overall: 10–20 cm more space is required.
4. Manufacturer - China.

An excellent model for large kitchens, for mini-dining rooms, mini-gardens, cafes, private homes. Modern functions and long-term cold savings are a good solution for areas where power outages are frequent. If the obstacle is the price (still - a lot even for a very high-quality device), then there is one piece of advice. Look at competitors with such a volume: they are all made in China. But this model is assembled from original parts, not from substitutes. If you’re planning to buy a large, high-quality refrigerator, don’t hesitate, users with experience in using BOSCH refrigeration equipment of 10-15 years advise.

If you are not satisfied with the volume, then, after paying 11 thousand, you can take the Bosch KIR81AF20R with a volume almost 2 times larger.
