Bosch Series 2 Built-In Integrated Larder Fridge, 122.1 x 54.1 cm, sliding hinge
A mid-height integrated larder fridge with 204 litres of fresh food space, Cool Airflow for even temperatures and a bottle holder in the door.
The KIR41NSE0G is Bosch's Series 2 built-in larder fridge in the 122 cm height, sitting between an under counter unit and a full column. It fits a 1225 by 560 by 550 mm niche behind your own door and gives all 204 litres to fresh food, with no freezer compartment.
Five safety glass shelves, four of them height adjustable, are arranged above a MultiBox drawer for fruit and vegetables, with four door bins and a bottle holder in the door tray. Cool Airflow circulates air to keep the temperature even from top to bottom, and SuperCool chills the cabinet before a big shop.
Ideal For
Two hundred and four litres covers a substantial weekly shop for two or three people, across five shelves, four door bins and a MultiBox drawer for produce.
A 1225 mm niche suits kitchens where a full column is too much and an under counter fridge too little, fitting neatly under a run of wall units.
Cool Airflow moves air around the cabinet so the temperature stays consistent, which helps when the fridge is full and packed from top to bottom.
Key Features
All the space is fridge space, with no freezer box taking a share, so the full height of the cabinet is usable for fresh food.
Air is circulated around the interior to keep the temperature even, so food on the top shelf is stored much the same as food at the bottom.
Four of the five safety glass shelves adjust for height, so the interior can be set up around tall bottles, deep dishes or a big weekly shop.
Four door bins include a bottle holder in the door tray, which keeps bottles upright and stops them rolling about when the door swings.
Turn it on before a big shop and the fridge chills down first, so newly loaded items reach temperature without warming what is already stored.
Bosch rates the fridge at 101 kWh per year, class E on the current label, running at 35 dB(A) with automatic defrosting of the fridge.
The useful middle height
Integrated fridges tend to come in two obvious sizes, the under counter box and the full-height column. The 122 cm height is the one that gets overlooked, and it is often the right answer. It needs a 1225 by 560 by 550 mm niche, tucks under a run of wall units and still holds 204 litres, which is roughly a full weekly shop for a couple or a small family. The appliance measures 122.1 by 54.1 by 54.8 cm and weighs 38.1 kg.
Cool Airflow and even temperatures
Fridges without air circulation can run colder at the back and warmer near the door, which affects how long food keeps. Cool Airflow moves air around the cabinet to even that out, so what sits on the top shelf is stored under much the same conditions as what sits at the bottom. Combine that with SuperCool, which lowers the temperature ahead of a large delivery, and the fridge copes better with being filled all at once.
Storage, controls and installation
Five safety glass shelves give the interior its structure, four of them height adjustable, with a MultiBox drawer at the base for fruit and vegetables. The door carries four bins and a bottle holder in the tray. Controls are LED electronic, lighting is bright LED, and an optical and acoustic alarm sounds if the door is left open. It is a fully integrated appliance on a right hinged, reversible sliding hinge, with a 230 cm power cord and automatic fridge defrosting.
How It Compares
| Kitchen Need | Bosch Technology | Practical Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Couple's weekly shop | 204 litre fridge capacity | All the space is fridge space, spread over five shelves, four door bins and a MultiBox drawer. |
| Mid-height kitchen run | 1225 mm integrated niche | Fits under a run of wall units where a full column would be too tall and awkward. |
| Even food storage | Cool Airflow | Air circulates around the interior so temperatures stay consistent from the top shelf down to the drawer. |
| Bottles and jars | Bottle holder door tray | Four door bins plus a dedicated bottle holder keep tall items upright and off the glass shelves. |
| Filling the fridge | SuperCool function | Chilling the cabinet in advance means a big shop reaches temperature without warming what is already inside. |
| Quiet kitchens | 35 dB(A) operation | A class B noise rating keeps the fridge in the background of an open-plan kitchen or dining room. |

The Verdict
Strengths
- 204 litres of fridge-only storage, no freezer compartment
- Five safety glass shelves, four height adjustable
- Cool Airflow for even temperatures throughout the cabinet
- Four door bins including a bottle holder
- SuperCool function and bright LED interior lighting
- Quiet 35 dB(A) running, noise class B
- Optical and acoustic door open warning
Considerations
- There is no freezer compartment, so frozen food needs a separate freezer elsewhere in the kitchen or utility room.
- A 1225 mm integrated niche and a furniture front are required, so this needs fitting into cabinetry rather than plugging in.
- Rated E for energy at 101 kWh a year, with no interior ventilator and no Home Connect app control.
