PerfectFitPerfect Fit: no space between wall and fridge needed. Standard fridge freezer models on the market need around 10cm distance from side walls for doors and drawers to open. Thanks to Perfect Fit, the freestanding fridge freezer range from Bosch can be positioned right against side walls and furniture. The fridge width corresponds to the niche dimensions. The result: A 60cm wide freestanding fridge freezer, which can be placed into a 60cm niche without the need for any extra space. | NoFrostNever defrost your fridge again. Defrosting a fridge by hand can be very annoying and time-consuming. Thanks to our new fridges with NoFrost, you can easily remove this task from your to-do list for good. Unlike in conventional fridges, the air humidity in a NoFrost fridge is permanently collected in a central chiller unit, which automatically defrosts on a frequent basis. The resulting condensation is simply channelled outside out of the fridge, where it then evaporates. This way, NoFrost permanently keeps your fridge free of not only ice, but also the need for manual defrosting. | Multi Airflow SystemMulti Airflow System: even air distribution for longer freshness. The fan-assisted MultiAirflow System causes gentle, even currents of cold air to emerge at all levels of the chilling and freezing area. Temperature fluctuations are minimised and cooling times reduced – which helps your foods retain their flavour for longer. |

LED lightsKeeps the contents of your fridge in the spotlight LED lights bring a completely new lighting concept to fridges, ensuring, glare-free interior illumination. LED lights use less electricity than conventional fridge lights and last an (appliance) lifetime. | SuperFreezingProtects frozen food from defrosting Adding new food to the freezer raises the internal temperature, which can result in defrosting and a loss of flavour. The SuperFreezing function ensures that new food is frozen quickly and thereby prevents the other content inside the freezer from defrosting. Appliances with an automatic freezing function return to normal operation once the required temperature is reached, in order not to waste energy. As a result, frozen food keeps its flavour, even when new food is being added. | FreshSenseFreshSense: perfect storage climate. Thanks to the optimum storage conditions, your food preserves an ideal consistency; ice cream, for instance, is neither too soft nor too hard. A constant temperature in the fridge interior is a decisive factor in achieving more freshness and flavour. FreshSense sensors constantly monitor and control the ambient, fridge and freezer temperature. A constant temperature inside the fridge, independent of the outer temperature, is the result. |

No ice
Have had this fridge freezer for a month now, it is working fine, you don’t have to defrost it as it makes no ice, plenty of storage and keeps food very fresh not at all noise.
5.0 out of 5 stars So fa
Item ok. Not Amazon service fee. They didn’t put in place , remove old one etc. still got charged and won’t refund.
Replaced our 20 year old Bosch Fridge Freezer which had seen better days. We had a new kitchen installed and decided to buy a new fridge freezer that would fit the space. The width of the new fridge freezer was same as the old and although the new fridge freezer is deeper we managed to get it to fit. Looks good, nice bright internal light and the wider door shelves makes storing plastic milk bottles easier. Hope this one lasts 20 years.
A Fridge Freezer to be proud of…
Our old Fridge/Freezer breathed its last, and we luckily picked this one of the many for sale out there. We would highly recommend this Bosch Fridge Freezer for its superb ease use, capacious space and it’s beautiful look.
5.0 out of 5 stars Bosch KGN362LDFG Serie 4 Freestanding Fridge Freeze
This fridge was a gift. Family say it is fantastic, they love it! They also commented on the delivery service being on time and helpful.m
I used to run three separate devices, a separate fridge, a freezer, and a mini fridge and these appliances had a combined energy usage of about 230 Watts. Read to the end to see how much I save!
The Bosch KGE49AICAG Serie 6 Freestanding fridge has a Class C energy rating and is well worth the 750-800 as it is probably the best bang for your buck in its class. I researched probably over 30 refrigerators before I bought it and so far I’m really happy with it. It is mahoosively big and roomy, standing probably over 6ft tall, 70cm across and 64cm deep, and is whisper quiet. The controls are intuitive, with an LED display and buttons to turn the refrigerator and freezer temperature up or down and there is an obligatory temperature alarm.
I bought one of those Energy plug meters, the “Yurayisen Power Meter Electricity Usage Monitor,13A Energy Monitor” specifically to measure the Bosch beast and the device was pretty accurate as I tested it against a 14watt lamp and a 400-1200 Watt variable electric heater.
Basically, the Bosch KGE49AICAG only uses circa 21-22 Watts of electricity, which is insanely little compared to my old equipment (230 Watts combined) and will pay for itself in no time at all!!!
I’m not reviewing the fridge freezer. It’s a Bosch. It’ll be fine. However PLEASE NOTE, ‘installation means carry to the appropriate room and push into its hole. If the plug needs removing to get the cable to the appropriate socket, they will refuse, even if the 2 are a mere 6″ apart. Instead they will advise you to cut a hole in your kitchen wide enough to push a plug through. REMEMBER, ‘install’ means carry, push & test. NOT A THING MORE!
Fantastic. Just as described.
I read all the reviews which largely seemed to be positive so I gambled & trusted them, & decided to but this product. I have to say it is excellent. Just as described. It is also easy for me to move around the kitchen by myself. When u open the fridge door, it is nice & bright. All shelves are well spaced apart.
Good distribution of fridge and freezer capacity for a couple. If door orientation is important read the instructions before starting up because changing the door orientation is complicated and you need to lay the fridge/freezer down to change doors over.
This is a very smart fridge/freezer however although the doors ARE reversible it could do with there being somewhere on the order form to state whether left or right hand door hinges are required.
The one I got the hinges were on the wrong side for my requirements and, as a special tool is required this could cause a serious problem. Fortunately my son purchased the tool and did the job for me but not everyone would be as lucky.
We’ve had a Bosch frige/freezer for over 25 years & it was still working, just the compartment trays were trashed by the wife trying to cram too much in.
This new one is so much bigger, so much quieter & frost free. Bought an extra glass shelf from Bosch to replace the wine rack, giving so much more useful space too.
Great fridge freezer, lots of room and looks beautiful. The frost free function is excellent although you have to accept that it makes the unit a little noisier in operation. There are fans running a lot of the time which circulate the air and take the moisture out of it and these can also make the sides warm to the touch. The doors opened the wrong way for us and so I had to swap the hinges over. This was pretty straight forward and took about an hour being careful to do it right. The only tricky bit was having to tip the unit on its back enough to get to the bottom hinge fixings. Wasn’t really an issue, both doors can be removed to reduce weight before having to tip it over and all the shelves and plastic containers were removed before lowering it onto a support (I used a workmate with lots of padding to prevent damaging the back of the unit). The instructions failed to mention that the little plastic covers which sit over the unused hinge holes needed to be moved across but other than that it wasn’t too bad. All in all, very pleased with it so far!
Great fridge Freezer.
The no frost claim is true which makes the freezer section so much easier to use.
It uses air flow, to provide cool air, which runs perhaps more frequently than my very old unit, but as its very quiet this is not a problem.
The only issue is the position of the door handles (Holes), which might be difficult for older people or people with reduced dexterity.
Overall I’m very pleased with this purchase, the unit looks good, has finishes that are easy to clean, wheels at the rear to allow movement into the available space (And removal for cleaning)
I purchased because of the reduced depth, which allows fitting in a standard kitchen layout with water pipes restricting the depth of the unit I could install. This fits well and overcomes this issue.
Perfect combination.
Very spacious, extremely quiet and very cold at lowest settings. Freezer door requires a lot of strength to open – fridge door a lot easier. I particularly like the small extras – digital displays, alarm if doors left open etc. Highly recommended.
Bosch products I really like, as they are so reliable. My last fridge-freezer was a LG very spacious and it lasted 15 years. In that 15 years fridge and freezer trays needed replacing but could not as the product was discontinued. So I turned to Bosch for my replacement as my last Bosch washing machine lasted as long as my last fridge-freezer purchased around the same time. I have been impressed by my Bosch washing machine so thought I would stick with this company. Happy I did I am loving my new fridge-freezer and its design inside. Delivery was prompt and efficient as was the setting up by the two delivery guys who were also efficient and polite.
Bought this to replace an ageing Beko fridge freezer.
Very impressed with it so far. It is quiet and using noticeably less electricity than my old fridge, despite maintaining cooler temperatures.
The noise it makes is very low and pleasant. You can barely hear it. My old fridge made a din like a cement mixer full of nuts and bolts.
The internal plastics are a little thin but then that’s nothing unusual. Even in something like a Miele you can readily break the plastics if you aren’t careful.
My one complaint is that there isn’t a temperature indicator for the fridge compartment. Had to spend a few quid to pick up one to use.
This fridge is a little bigger than my old one. My old one was 55x55x180. So this one is about two inches bigger on all sides. There is so much more room inside, despite that fact that is uses less power. It’s actually amazing how much bigger that is inside. It’s a bit Tardis!
One thing I particularly like with this fridge is the shelves and draws and so on are all in the right place for me. Everything seems very sensibly laid out. My only tiny complaint is that the large freezer tray in the middle is too big. I think it would have been better if all three were the same size. This is a small complaint though.
One difference that I suppose is down to particular manufactures and models is the draws in the Bosch are much easier to slide in and out than my old Beko. The draws in the Beko used to partially derail and get stuck.
Very highly recommended. I would definitely buy another Bosch.
Lovely looking fridge freeze
I love the look of the fridge freezer. It has a really nice finish to it and is well made inside. The the shelves are strong and robust.
Ideally I would have preferred a freezer with four shelves but this ticked all the other boxes.
This fridge freezer is so quiet it’s delightful! At first I thought it wasn’t working but it runs great.
My only gripe is the fridge door doesn’t always close properly and I have had to get used to ensuring its closed. If the door is left open the alarm is very quiet. You wouldn’t hear it if you were out of the kitchen.
I am very happy with this fridge freezer and would highly recommend it.
Loads of room
Fridge is spacious with deep shelves and has an excellent capacity.
Freezer drawers brilliant design with large central drawer. This is great if you have a turkey or large item to freeze. Very deceptive in size. Stores so much
No bending to access fridge.
Delivered promptly.
Only one downside delivery guys wouldn’t unpack it and it was quite difficult for two pensioners.
Very pleased
The delivery men forgot to remove the drain pipe plug, but thankfully I spotted it.
Otherwise the product works very well. A little hard to level it though.
You get what you pay for.
This is a very good purchase. I am delighted with it. 50/50 so plenty of room for all goods. Well designed to allow bigger bottles in the fridge and large drawers in the freezer to allow for better stocking. I’m thrilled to bits with it and would most certainly HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product.

A very smart looking appliance
The extremely prompt delivery saved my bacon (and a lot of other foods too.)My original fridge freezer broke down a week before Christmas and I got this a day after I love the colour which matches my other appliances. It has a lot of room and fits my needs adequately

Dece
Bosch is obviously great and this appliance is no exception. It’s quite spacious inside. It’s also priced reasonably. However, it is a bit too noisy; nothing unbearable but I wished and expected less noise. The least favorite part is the place of the temperature control: you have to open the door to change the temperature whereas I would have loved to be bale to do that without opening the fridge.
Smart, spacious, great.
Everything I expect from Bosch
Paid for the unpack and removal of old appliance. Well worth the money and done quickly by the team

Frost free
I hated defrosting the freezer and now with this new one I never have to.
Great service
Competitive price. Delivery to my kitchen by 2 helpful drivers. I was kept up to date with all aspects of this and can’t fault Amazon. Very happy with the goods, you can’t go wrong with Bosch imho. Very happy overall.

We bought this fridge freezer as we were in a panic as our old integrated fridge freezer had been on its legs for an age and after it heated the food to 20C we knew it was over.
After looking around for a more eco friendly fridge freezer after Which? changed the levels so there are less A+++++ items ti’s was the best we could find at a competitive price.
The fridge freezer is big! It’s so spacious we almost don’t know what to do with all the new space. As it cools it gurgles and groans, but it’s not too loud.
Best item we’ve bought in a long time.
Top boss bosch
Liked very much the height of the product
Liked also the depth of this product
Liked that the product fitted into
my kitchen area beautifully.
Dislike the fruit & veg box the front panel that you pull forwards towards you from the bottom I found this not to be very sturdy.

The product’s what you expect. The distinctive bit was the excellent delivery couple, whose progress one tracks on the app, and that they carefully installed the new one, and removed the old – no fuss, no mess, no packaging left – and were polite, swift, tidy.

Very quiet running (compared to our previous fridge).
Liked the fact that the light which comes on when you open the door, lights up all the interior. The light is at the front of the fridge as opposed to being at the back of most fridges that I’ve owned!

Value for money
Fridge freezer came in good working condition apart from one dent in the side apart from that it’s a nice fridge freezer.
Really good for the offer price.
Well worth the money I paid as it was on offer. So much better than Hotpoint I just dumped as it was badly rusted on the front doors it looked awful and it was only 2 years old!! I will never buy another Hotpoint appliance.
Great fridge freezer.
great fridge freezer, lots of space and easy to fi, lust plug it in. Great service from the delivery team so couldn’t be happier.
Works well
It works well.
Maybe next time I should go and try, open and have a look.
I find it small compared to our previous one, but that’s all my fault, not the fridge’s.

We bought this to replace separate under counter fridge and freezer units. It was an excellent choice, it has a larger capacity than our older units. quiet and works really well. Good quality fittings and well made in general. Very quiet. We are very pleased with it.

price drop for fridge
pleased with the bosch fridge freezer it is a good machine .but two weeks since it was delilverd the price dropped 80 pounds less than i paid .i feel rather cheated by the seller.
Excellent uni
Excellent unit, maybe have more freezer space and less fridge. Dreadful delivery by amazo
The suppliers posponed the original delivery date by 3 days. For this review, I was asked to rate the product for the feature “Warmth”, which I thought very strange for a fridge/freezer – I gave it one star for that in protest, but still 5 starts overall.

Noting to dislike.. great capacity.. runs silently compared to old fridge .. & appreciate no need to manually defrost!!!
Very Happy with purchase.
Would recommend for any small / medium size family.
Its a Bosch
What more can you expect but the best, must admit though it was a bit heavy on the price side, but so far it works great.
Just what we needed to fit in a space to increase our freezer capacity during lockdown.
Fantastic, keeps fruit and vegetables fresher for longer than our old unit.

The fridge freezer its self is fantastic. Loads of space and very cold . Delivery could have been better no back lift on lorry for such a large item, manually lifted down and just dumped in my living room ! The item itself, no complaints, it has a n alarm on doors so no accidentally leaving door open .

It just has to be said that Bosch Appliances are outstanding. The space divided between the Fridge and Freezer means that there is good space in both. The appliance is nice and quiet. The ‘alarm’ is a useful device when the fridge has been left open and can be easily remedied when loading the fridge after shopping. wouldn’t hesitate to buy another.

It’s just what I expected, it’s the best I could have bought for my needs
Keeps everything cool wherever it is in the fridge. Great delivery with time given and did not cost extra like all the other domestic appliance shops (with prime).
Bought this fridge/freezer for my garage. Fridge is spacious and keeps things really fresh.
Freezer is adequate for my needs and has 3 drawers of varying sizes which area suitable for all different sizes of food packages

The Bosch fridge freezer arrived on a Thursday but had major damage inside the fridge compartment. I immediately rang Hughes who without fuss or bother said they would send a replacement, which they did the following Tuesday. I was impressed by the service, Thank you

Does what it says on the tin!
Replacement for existing fridge and separate freezer and the fact that it’s frost free. It’s what my wife has been dying ( not literally ) for.
Very happy with the fridge freezer BUT BEWARE the feet are small and don’t slide. It will rip vinyl floor as I have found to my cost. The freezer door has a very strong spring detent that is intended to ensure it is either obviously open or definitely closed. Good idea but a bit too strong for an 88 year old. Fortunately the operating lug for it is easily removed so it then shuts on the magnetic seal just like any other fridge or freezer.
