Rating of the best Bosch refrigerators in 2022

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

In order to decide which appliance is better to buy, we will rank the best models of Bosch brand refrigerators. Since the refrigerators of this manufacturer are not cheap, but they are bought for many years. In order not to make a mistake, you need to approach the choice of a specific model 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, these are the required dimensions, 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 where the refrigerator will be located. It is necessary to measure all parameters (length, width, height) using a tape measure. Special attention should be paid to 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. Two-chamber devices have dedicated chambers. In one of them, products are stored at a positive temperature (+5 - +8 ° С). The second allows you to freeze them and keep them of high quality for a longer period.The maximum freezing temperature is indicated by snowflakes (*) (one * - freezing to -6 ° C, shelf life does not exceed one week; two * - freezing to -12 ° C, shelf life no 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 freezer compartment at the bottom (75 cm or more), and the refrigerator compartment is equipped with two flaps on top.
• Side-by-Side is a model common in America, its main feature is the location 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 exactly the usable volume of the refrigerator. It consists of the volume of products that the device contains. When determining the required usable volume, the following formula is used: 120 liters for the first person + 60 liters for each next family member.
3. defrosting method. Early refrigerators were defrosted by unplugging and defrosting 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 back 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 refrigerator, so that 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 periodic manual defrosting. The No frost system uses air circulation inside the chamber, which prevents frost from forming on the walls. Such a system makes the air in the chamber dry, due to which some products may be ventilated. If such a system is used in both cameras, it is called Full no frost.
4. climate class. Refrigerators are divided into 4 classes according to the operating conditions. The most common class is N, it is used in most refrigerators and is designed for an ambient temperature of +15 - +30 ° С. Class SN is used in cold rooms, classes ST and T - in rooms with elevated 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. If the appliance is located in the kitchen, the noise level is not so important, but it is recommended that it be no more than 40 dB.
6. Energy efficiency class. Since the refrigerator is connected to the power supply around the clock, this parameter should be paid special attention. The most energy-efficient devices have an energy consumption class of at least A. The most expensive - E.
7. Shelf material. It is recommended to choose appliances with glass shelves, as it is easier to see the desired product in the refrigerator through them.
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, cold losses are possible and, as a result, the refrigerator will constantly work, which entails significant energy losses.

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

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

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

• it is desirable that the lighting of the refrigerating chamber is carried out not with one light bulb, but with several, in which case the products will be better visible if the refrigerator is forced "to the eyeballs";
• it is better to choose a model with the possibility of re-hanging the door, since over time the refrigerator can change the place of its permanent “deployment”, 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 to different places, it is best if they also have a transformation function, in which case the overall containers can be placed without difficulty;
• it is desirable to have at least two wheels, which will facilitate the transportation of the device;
• if the refrigerator will stand in the aisle, it is recommended to choose models without an external handle, as it will interfere with free movement.
