Rating of the best BOSCH refrigerators in 2024

It is difficult to imagine a modern man's kitchen without a refrigerator. It has become so firmly established in our life that we perceive it as an integral attribute of kitchen furniture. At the same time, the breakdown of the refrigerator disrupts a person's lifestyle so much that all matters are postponed until later, and the issue of buying a new device comes to the fore. Choosing a new refrigerator is not so easy, since modern devices can not only maintain a given temperature, but also perform additional functions that make it easier for a modern person to live.

In order to decide which device is better to buy, we will make a rating of the best models of Bosch refrigerators. Since refrigerators from this manufacturer are not cheap, they are bought for many years. In order not to make a mistake, the choice of a specific model must be approached consciously and take into account all the parameters that refrigerators offered in stores have.

How not to make a mistake when choosing a refrigerator?

What to look for before making a purchase decision? First of all, it is the required size, color and the amount of money that you are willing to spend on it. First of all, you need to start by carefully measuring the place in which the refrigerator will be located. You need to measure all parameters (length, width, height) using a tape measure. Special attention should be paid to the various protrusions and bends. Be sure to evaluate the convenience of going to the refrigerator and the side from which the door will open.

When buying a refrigerator, you need to decide which of the following criteria are important to you:

1. Number of cameras. Devices are made with one, two or more chambers. Models with one chamber have a single refrigerator compartment (sometimes it may have a built-in freezer behind the door). In height, such devices do not exceed one and a half meters. Dual chambers have dedicated chambers. One of them stores food at a positive temperature (+5 - +8 ° C). The second allows them to freeze and keep high quality for a longer period. The maximum freezing temperature is indicated by snowflakes (*) (one * - freezing to -6 ° С, shelf life does not exceed one week; two * - freezing to -12 ° С, shelf life not longer than a month; three * - freezing to -18 ° C, shelf life - no more than one year).

Refrigerators with two or more chambers are of the following types:

• The freezer is at the top. The width and length of the device does not exceed 60 cm.
• The freezer compartment is located at the bottom. The width and length of the device does not exceed 60 cm.
• French Door - such products have a wide freezing compartment at the bottom (75 cm or more), and the refrigerator compartment is equipped with two doors on top.
• Side-by-Side is a model common in America, its main feature is the arrangement of branches on the same level, opposite each other. The height and length of such devices are standard, and the width can reach 120 cm.

Multi-chamber refrigerators are distinguished by the presence of a "freshness zone" in which a certain microclimate is adjusted, which contributes to better storage of not only vegetables and fruits, but also meat products.

2. Volume. Allocate the total and useful volume. Experts recommend considering the useful volume of the refrigerator. It consists of the volume of products that the appliance contains. When determining the required useful volume, the following formula is used: 120 liters for the first person + 60 liters for each next family member.
3. Defrosting method. Early years refrigerators were defrosting by disconnecting the power supply and thawing in a warm room. In modern appliances, two main defrosting systems are used: drip and No frost. In the first method, the liquid is concentrated on the rear wall of the chamber, then enters a special compartment and evaporates from the heat generated by the compressor. The advantages of the system include the creation of a humid microclimate in the refrigerating chamber, due to which the products do not dry out. However, such a system is not perfect, since over time, a layer of ice will still form inside the chamber, which is why the device needs to be periodically defrosting manually. The No frost system uses air circulation inside the chamber, which prevents frost from forming on the walls. This system makes the air in the chamber dry, which can cause some food to wind up. If such a system is used in both cameras, it is called Full no frost.
4. Climatic class. Refrigerators are divided into 4 classes according to operating conditions. The most common class is N, it is used in most refrigerators and is designed for an ambient temperature of +15 - +30 ° C. SN class is used in cold rooms, ST and T classes - in rooms with high temperatures.
5. Noise level. It is recommended to pay attention to this parameter if the purchased refrigerator will be in the same room with sleeping people. In the case of placing the appliance in the kitchen, the noise level is not so important, however, it is recommended that it be no more than 40 dB.
6. Energy efficiency class. Since the refrigerator is connected to the power supply network around the clock, you should pay special attention to this parameter. The most energy efficient appliances have an energy class of at least A. The most expensive ones are E.
7. Shelves making material. It is recommended to choose appliances with glass shelves, as they make it easier to see the desired product in the refrigerator.
8. The quality of the seal. It should be soft and elastic. When choosing a refrigerator, it is advisable to carefully check it for damage, since due to a minor defect, losses of cold are possible and, as a consequence, the constant operation of the refrigerator, which entails significant losses of electricity.

Modern refrigerators, in addition to their main function - to maintain the temperature inside the chamber at a given low level - can be performed by others, among them the presence of special "chips" can be distinguished:

• open door indicator;
• super freezing;
• the ability to autonomously keep cold for some time.

When choosing a refrigerator, it is advisable to take into account the recommendations of specialists:

• it is desirable that the lighting of the refrigerating chamber is performed not with one light bulb, but with several, in which case the products will be better visible if the refrigerator is packed to capacity;
• it is better to choose a model with the possibility of reversing the door, since over time the refrigerator can change its place of permanent "dislocation", and it will be more convenient to open the door from the other side;
• the shelves in the refrigerator should be removed and easily rearranged in different places, it is best if they also have a transformation function, in which case the overall containers can be placed easily;
• it is desirable to have at least two wheels, which will facilitate the transportation of the device;
• if the refrigerator will stand on the aisle, it is recommended to choose models without an external handle, as it will interfere with free movement.

Rating of the best Bosch refrigerators in 2024

Many buyers are interested in the question, which refrigerator of the most common companies is better? An unequivocal answer to it cannot be found, however, having studied the many reviews of real buyers, we can conclude that one of the best manufacturers of household appliances for the home is the German brand Bosch.
