How long have I been looking for my perfect refrigerator and discovering Bosch Serie | 4
As soon as the renovation began in the new apartment, an acute question arose about choosing a refrigerator. After watching beautiful design projects on the Internet, my choice fell on a white Scandinavian-style kitchen. For a long time I dreamed of a built-in refrigerator, because it adds aesthetics and neatness to the overall interior. But having searched all the shops, my dreams were smashed against the rocks when I found out the maximum usable volume of the refrigerator and freezer. For my family of 4, the 75-liter freezer is very small (and this is the largest I could find), and the kitchen area does not allow installing a multi-door Side-by-side.
I quickly revised my plans and decided that a 2-meter refrigerator with hidden handles and a strict minimalist design in white would be a worthy alternative to the built-in one. From the side of the entrance, I will close it with a small wall in the size of a refrigerator (60 cm) made of plasterboard, and above it there will be a shelf that completes the kitchen set.
Having monitored the modern refrigerator market, I settled on two models from Bosch and Samsung, affordable and very similar to each other. But the Samsung option went away by itself due to holes in the bottom of the drawers and thinner plastic in the freezer.
So, I became the owner of the Bosch Serie | 4 KGN39NW2AR model, which I ordered through the website in MVideo. There were no problems with the delivery, the only thing, the husband noted a barely noticeable unevenness at the bottom of the case on the sides, but the loader hurried to assure us that this is due to the peculiarities of the location of the radiator, they say, all modern manufacturers now So. I am 100% satisfied with the appearance of the refrigerator.
Bosch Serie | 4 KGN39NW2AR has a large refrigerator volume - 279 liters and a standard freezer one - 87 liters.
Since the renovation in the apartment has just begun, we decided to turn it on for two weeks to check the marriage, and then pack it and wrap it with stretch film so as not to get dirty. After transportation, you can turn on the refrigerator no earlier than 2 hours later (oil could get into the compressor, it needs time to drain from there). The first thing that I was very surprised with was that Bosch is silent (39 dB) compared to my LG and my mother's Atlant! Therefore, this model is perfect for a studio apartment.
An equally important parameter when choosing for me was the No Frost function, which prevents the formation of ice inside the refrigerator, therefore, defrosting is not required, which is very convenient. The refrigerator compartment has a large fruit and vegetable drawer with a Vita Fresh zone - an innovative system Bosch, which contributes to the longer shelf life of fresh food due to a certain temperature and humidity.
Now a little about the internal filling and packaging, it includes:
4 trays for eggs, 4 pieces each;
· 1 container for ice;
· Service books;
· 5 shelves made of tempered glass in the refrigerator;
· 4 door plastic shelves;
· 3 drawers in the freezer.
The body is made of durable metal, the doors can be moved to the other side if necessary. By the way, the back of the refrigerator looks very neat, everything is hidden under a metal sheet.
In general, I am very pleased with my Bosch Serie | 4, although I have not yet had time to use it in full, but I am sure that I will not be disappointed. What can you say about my choice? It is especially interesting to know about your experience with Vita Fresh, does the food really last 3 times longer? Or is it a manufacturer myth?
