Good Bosch fridge/freezer
4/5
I purchased this based on a consumer magazine review as being one of the better performing branded models. Good volume fridge-freezer with decent sized handles to grasp. There is a digital display that’s visible without having to open the fridge. However, this is for setting the target temperature and unfortunately there is no indication of actual temperature. The freezer section works well. However, as noted in the consumer review, the fridge takes longer than my previous Miele to bring the temperature down, although when it has, it remains pretty stable. There is noticeable constant motor hum when the unit is in ‘super’ cooling mode but is just about acceptable as background noise. A 3/4 length LED gives a bright light inside of the fridge. The meat/fish drawer is particularly handy, being the coldest area of the fridge, gives clear segregation of raw meat/fish and easily removed to clean.
The trays on the inside of the door are half width which limits longer items and there are only three of these half-width trays.
Overall it’s a good fridge/freezer albeit a little expensive. Too early to tell on the reliability or how it handles much hotter and colder ambient temperatures.
