Bosch Series 4 Freestanding 60cm Fridge Freezer

An energy class B fridge freezer using 129 kWh a year, with 363 litres of No Frost storage, VitaFresh XXL drawers and a 33 dB running noise.

Energy class B is the headline here. On the current A to G scale, this one draws 129 kWh a year while still holding 363 litres: 260 in the fridge and 103 in the freezer, in a standard 60 cm by 203 cm cabinet. It is also quiet, at 33 dB(A) in noise class B.

Efficiency has not come at the cost of the features. VitaFresh XXL provides extra-large climate-controlled drawers for fresh food, Multi Airflow distributes air evenly through the cabinet, and Total No Frost means the freezer never needs defrosting by hand. Five shelves, four door bins and a bottle support grid organise the fridge, with LED lighting that starts softly.

Ideal for

Efficiency first

Energy class B and 129 kWh a year make this the choice for a household weighing up long-term running consumption, without dropping below 363 litres of usable storage.

Quiet homes

Thirty-three decibels in noise class B suits apartments, open-plan rooms and kitchens that open onto a living space, where a noisy compressor becomes obvious in the evening.

Fresh food storage

VitaFresh XXL drawers, five shelves and a bottle support grid suit households that buy fresh regularly and want the produce to last the full week.

Key features

Energy class B

On the current A to G scale, the appliance is rated B and draws 129 kWh a year, which is the standout figure on its spec sheet.

33 dB(A) running noise

Noise class B, quiet enough that the appliance does not announce itself when the kitchen is being used as a living space in the evening.

363 litres of storage

A 260 litre fridge over a 103 litre freezer, with five shelves, four door bins, a bottle support grid and three freezing drawers.

VitaFresh XXL drawers

Extra-large climate-controlled drawers designed to keep fresh food in good condition for longer, with Multi Airflow distributing air evenly around the cabinet.

Total No Frost

The freezer defrosts automatically and ice does not build up, so its three drawers keep their capacity and never need emptying for a thaw.

18 hour power reserve

Frozen food is stated to hold temperature for up to 18 hours if the supply fails, and warnings flag an open door or a temperature rise.

More to know

What class B actually means

The EU rescaled its energy labels so that the top grades are genuinely hard to earn, which makes a class B rating on a 203 cm fridge freezer worth noticing. The declared consumption is 129 kWh a year. A fridge freezer is one of the few appliances in a house that never switches off, so the annual energy figure deserves more attention than almost any other number on the spec sheet. Here it comes without giving up No Frost or VitaFresh XXL.

Quiet enough for open-plan rooms

At 33 dB(A) in noise class B, this is an appliance you notice by its absence. That matters more than it used to: kitchens have become the room where people work, eat and talk, and a compressor cycling loudly in the corner is a genuine irritation. The same design also brings Multi Airflow for even air distribution and two independent cooling circuits, so the fridge and the freezer are not fighting each other for cold air.

Installing a 203 cm cabinet

The cabinet stands 203 cm high, 60 cm wide and 66.5 cm deep, and weighs 82.7 kg, so the delivery route and the doorway are worth measuring first. Perfect Fit means it can be pushed right up against a wall or set into a niche once it is in place. The door is right hinged with a reversible option and an integrated vertical handle, and the climate class covers everything from a cool room to a warm one, from extended temperate through to tropical.
