TOP 10 best Bosch refrigerators according to customer reviews

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

In my rating, I included models with a bottom freezer, a guarantee for a linear compressor from 10 years, a freezing capacity from 4.5 to 18 kg / day and an autonomous cold storage from 14 to 24 hours. Different manufacturers were selected: Russia, China, Germany. I'll tell you about popular drip models up to 39 thousand rubles. I will describe in detail the pros and cons of models with NoFrost from 34,500 rubles. I will help in choosing the best built-in refrigerator of the brand.

TOP 3 models with drip defrost

I chose the NatureCool series for my review. This is a unique BOSCH refrigeration technology. Cooling without forced circulation directly from the evaporator. An excellent option for keeping food fresh for 10% longer than in conventional refrigerators.

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

Bosch KGV36NW1AR

Simple, reliable representative from the NatureCool series. Large capacity of the refrigerator (223 l) and freezers (94 l). Compartment for fruits / vegetables with moisture regulator VitaFresh, volume - 26 l, equivalent to 2 buckets of apples.

Benefits:

1. Easy to operate.
2. Freshness zone for long-term preservation of products.
3. Ergonomic placement of shelves.
4. Very quiet, noise - up to 40 dB. Users in the reviews note that it can be installed even in a studio apartment. There is no high frequency squeak that is sometimes found on inverter motors.
5. Compact, roomy.
6. Economical to maintain, inexpensive to repair. Few replacement parts.
7. Laconic appearance.
8. The doors can be outweighed.
9. Keeps cold for almost a day (22 hours) during a power outage.

Minuses:

1. Manual defrosting of the freezer compartment. For a price of 29 thousand rubles, it was possible to make a drip system.
2. Ice sometimes appears on the wall of the refrigerating chamber.

In terms of the ratio of positive and negative reviews, the model clearly wins by plus. Reliable assembly, although they are now produced in the Russian Federation, the control of specialists is felt. No marriage occurs. There are no returns of equipment. In terms of volume, it meets the needs of a family of 4-6 people. And for quiet work - this is an ideal technique for studio apartments, families with small children, offices, cafes. This model will only be replaced by a device with Know Frost, but for an additional charge of 5500 rubles: the cheapest representative of Bosch KGN36NW14R costs 34500 rubles.

Bosch KGV36XL2OR

A beautiful two-compartment refrigerator with a metallic body and overhead aluminum handles. The model is completely similar to Bosch KGV36NW1AR in terms of volume, freezing power, and cold support. But the dimensions of the depth are 2 cm less (63/65). Sometimes this becomes a decisive factor when appliances are needed for small or furniture-heavy kitchens.More profitable in terms of energy consumption in class A +, uses less electricity by 68 kW / year. The difference in price (35,500 rubles): as for me, the difference of 6,500 rubles is insignificant for a reliable technique that 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 refrigerant flow in the pipes.
4. Excellent economical operation 40 min. workers, 40-50 min. relaxation.
5. Well-thought-out ergonomics. Simple, easy dismantling and rearrangement of shelves.
6. High quality plastic inside and out. No chemical smell.
7. "Honest" parameter of volumes. Spacious. With the same dimensions as models of other brands, it can hold 5-10% more (verified by users).

Minuses:

1. Does not correspond to the declared noise level of 38 dB. Works much louder.
2. Soiled plastic, prints are visible on the silvery surface.

With the same basic characteristics as the KGV36NW1AR, the model is slightly narrower, which means less hassle with placement in a crowded kitchen. In terms of volume, it is good for any family. You can refuse Bosch KGV36XL2OR because of the noise, especially for those who are sensitive to the silence of the night. Then you have to change it to the "cheaper" model GV36NW1AR and save 6500 rubles.

Bosch KGE39XK2AR

The most expensive (38,500 rubles), the highest (200 cm) and roomy (351 l) TOP-3 model. The original color of the beige body is suitable for a kitchen made in pastel colors. In addition to the shallow depth (63 cm), external handles that are integrated horizontally help save space. With an impressive volume and freezing capacity (9 kg / day), the device is very economical in energy consumption according to class A + - only 307 kWh / year.

Pros:

1. High ergonomics of internal space organization. Convenient step for height adjustment of the shelves. For dairy products, there are recesses on the side shelf, egg holders.
2. In addition to maintaining natural moisture, the LowFrost cooling system increases the freezing speed, which reduces energy consumption, preserves all valuable ingredients and taste in products.
3. Defrosting is manual, but with LowFrost technology it will not be a problem. You will have to defrost it 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 stays cold for 22 hours in the absence of an electrical connection.
6. Enhanced security system. A built-in alarm warns of a malfunction or a door left open.

Minuses:

1. Noisy at work.
2. Marked body color. Imprints remain.

All users are satisfied with the model for the build quality, roomy volume and ergonomics of the refrigerator and freezer chambers. I believe that for families of 5-6 people, as well as for families of 2-3 people, the KGE39XK2AR is a good machine. 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, food does not freeze, retain all useful qualities. The "ability" of the models to instantly cool food and the availability of super freezing and super cooling functions are possible thanks to this system. Plus - there is no need to waste time on defrosting, although washing once a year is worth it for hygiene purposes.

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

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

Bosch KGN36NW14R

I'll start my review with a small rating of the refrigerator compared to the rest of the participants. The total volume is 287 liters. The choice of buyers determined the size of the refrigerator. It is roomy - 221 liters.

Pros:

1. The cover material of the case prevents the formation of fingerprints.
2. No protruding parts on the body, the door handle is integrated horizontally.
3. Narrow in width - only 60 cm, which can cause inconvenience when placing pots on shelves.
4. The refrigerator compartment has a compartment for storing foods with a strong smell or for those that quickly absorb other aromas.
5. Large volume drawer for fruits and vegetables with corrugated bottom. Condensation does not form in it, vegetables are protected from transient decay.
6. The sturdy tempered glass shelves can withstand loads of up to 40 kg.
7. There is a food storage calendar.

Minuses:

1. Cannot be equipped with decorative frames.
2. Noisy.
3. Shallow depth, difficult to arrange pan with wide bottom.

I got the impression that the model is "damp" for 34,500 rubles. Of all the advantages, the most important is the large volume of the refrigerating chamber. Although, as the owner of a spacious kitchen, I don't have to pay attention to the dimensions of the equipment. If you have a small kitchen, you have already “built up” it with headsets, then this model has a lot of advantages for you - compactness combined with a large volume of the main refrigeration compartment. If Know Frost, in your opinion, is not worth attention, you read about the cons, I suggest paying 4 thousand rubles and taking the KGE39XK2AR with drip defrost and larger capacity.

Bosch KGN39VW17R

A model with a classic design is only 2 thousand rubles more (36500) than the KGN36NW14R. They have the same volume of the refrigerator compartment (221 l), but the total volume of our hero is larger - 315 l, the freezer compartment is larger - 84 l versus 66 l. With the same energy consumption class A, the KGN39VW17R has a higher productivity - 14 kg / day (10 kg / day).

Pros:

1. With compact dimensions (200 × 60 × 65 cm), it is very spacious: the total volume is 315 liters.
2. NoFrost system - no defrosting is required, frost and ice crust does not form on the walls of the chambers and on the food.
3. Fast, even freezing or cooling of food with the MultiAirflow system.
4. Lack of foreign and unpleasant odors thanks to the charcoal filter. No mixing of odors, no environment for the development of bacteria.
5. Modern control system, you can set the temperature mode with an accuracy of a degree.
6. The external display makes it easy to monitor the operation.
7. Enhanced security. Built-in indicators monitor emergency temperature rise, accompany the detection with an audible signal.
8. There is a freshness area with a VitaFresh container. The wavy bottom of the container excludes the contact of fruits and vegetables with condensation.
9. Excellent ergonomics and organization of the interior space. A large number of sets and additional accessories for different types of product packaging.

Minuses:

1. Noisy.
2. The door closes tightly, it takes an effort to press it tightly.
3. The freezer door is very low, and if you hurry, it knocks off your toes.

The model is not suitable for a kitchen-studio - it is noisy, but in an ordinary "three-ruble" or "kopeck piece" its work is almost invisible. High productivity of freezing is useful when the food is fully loaded for storage for future use. The normal capacity of the refrigerator for a family is 3-4 people. The Know Frost system will relieve working women of the "headache" with regular defrosting, and the systems for keeping food fresh will extend storage and become an item of budget savings. At this price of 36,500 rubles, it is difficult to find a replacement for the model. Quality and functionality match it. You can give up Nou Frost and buy KGV36NW1AR with drip defrost, save 7 thousand rubles, but win a little in the volume of refrigerating / freezing chambers (223/94 l).

Bosch KGN39VI21R

The compact (203 × 60 × 66 cm) and voluminous 366 l (279/87 l) model, I decided to include in the rating. She is very stylish in design. The body is made in "metallic" look, it is successfully combined with modern household kitchen appliances. The shade is practical, and the special treatment makes the surface resistant to scratches and corrosion. There is one more feature - the coating with the proprietary composition eliminates the appearance of fingerprints on the shiny chrome surface.

Pros:

1. Corresponds to the price (40 thousand rubles) in functionality, ergonomics, build quality.
2. Energy saving (class A +) with high freezing capacity 15 kg / day.
3. 16h cold support during power outage - more than KGN39VW17R (15h) and KAN92VI25 (12h).
4. Long network cable - 2.4 m: the previous two - 1.6 m.
5. Can be completed with decorative frames.
6. Can be placed close to the wall.
7. Like the KGN39VW17R, there is a carbon filter to remove odors and a fresh 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 in case of a sharp change in temperature outside, for example, if sunlight hits the body.

Minuses:

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

The functional, modern refrigeration device surpasses the previous models in terms of compactness. Can be installed in niches, corner, close to the wall. In terms of volume, it is suitable for families of 5-6 people. Housewives and working women will love the grocery savings features and NoFrost. Ergonomics and large volume (366 liters) will allow you to place products without problems and damage to safety. Control over a sharp drop in external temperatures will extend the life of the device and storage of products. What would I suggest replacing it with? Only large in volume KAN92VI25, but 87 thousand rubles will have to be paid for it.

Bosch KAN92VI25

The only rating model with Side by Side. The unusual arrangement of the freezer gives extra volume. The spaciousness is simply impressive - 589 liters. The refrigerator is designed for a large family, 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 compound to avoid finger and grease stains.

Pros:

1. Energy-saving with a large total volume and productivity of freezing 12 kg / day.
2. Side by Side freezer positioning system.
3. Corrosion and mechanical damage resistant chrom-inox-metallic housing.
4. There is a function of assistance when closing the door.
5. Vacation function - switching to economy mode.
6. Protection from children, blocking the remote control from involuntary interference.
7. Error warning. When the electronic memory fails, the temperature mode has changed, the door is not closed, an alarm is triggered, there is a sound.
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... In the event of a power outage, defrosting occurs later than indicated in the data sheet: not after 12 hours, but after 15–20 hours.
10. Twist Ice Box.

Minuses:

1. Price - 137 thousand rubles. Expensive even for such a modern giant.
2. Noisy.
3. Oversized: Requires 10-20 cm more free space.
4. Manufacturer - China.

An excellent model for large kitchens, mini-dining rooms, mini-gardens, cafes, private houses. Modern functions and long-term cold saving are a good solution for areas where power outages are frequent. If the obstacle is the price (after all, 137 thousand rubles is a lot, even for a very high-quality device), then there is only one piece of advice. Look at competitors with this volume: they are all made in China. But this model is assembled from original parts, not substitutes. We are going to buy a large high-quality refrigerator - do not hesitate, advise users with 10-15 years of BOSCH refrigeration experience.

It is easy to hide the outer part under the furniture facade using the sliding door sliding fastening. They are in demand for interior design in the same style. Plus - the release of space. There are no restrictions on the side of the door opening, they are mounted left / right.

Bosch KIV38X20

Normal energy efficiency class is A +. Internal and external surfaces are made of plastic. Modern cooling system LowFrost, as in Bosch KGN39VI21R.

An excellent model of a German brand, made in Germany, has a set of functions for long-term storage of products, saves energy, productivity - 3 kg / day. Suitable for a family of 3-4 people. Fits well in any designer kitchen. There is no Know Frost, but with modern BOSCH equipment, frost will form gradually, and the freezer will have to be thawed once a year. Users recommend this model as it ideally matches the price, functionality and durability of operation.

1. No freezer.
2. The price - 51500 rubles - is too high. You can find models from other brands 20-30% cheaper and with the same functionality.

The model is not cheap, and even more so without a freezer compartment. But if I were the owner of an elite club, a private legal profession and other public institutions, I would have bought a German refrigerator for the office with silent operation, excellent ergonomics and low energy consumption (100 kWh / year). If you are not satisfied with the volume, then, after paying 11 thousand, you can take the Bosch KIR81AF20R with a volume of almost 2 times more.

Bosch KIR81AF20R

Spacious 319 l single-compartment refrigerator without freezer, like KIR31AF30R. With automatic defrosting, SmartCool and dynamic cooling system, with freshness zone.
