Bosch Series 4 Freestanding Full-Height Larder Fridge with VitaFresh, 186 x 60 cm
A white full-height larder fridge giving all 346 litres to chilled storage, with a VitaFresh drawer and quiet 39 dB running for everyday fresh food.
The KSV36VWEPG is a plain white 186cm larder fridge with no freezer section, which means all 346 litres are available for fresh food. It suits kitchens where freezing is handled by a separate appliance, and households that shop for the week and cook rather than stockpile. Seven shelves, five of them adjustable, keep the space workable.
VitaFresh is the part that earns its keep day to day. A climate-controlled drawer holds fruit and vegetables in better condition than a plain crisper, which shows up as less produce going into the bin at the end of the week. Super Cool brings the cabinet temperature down quickly after a big shop, and LED lighting keeps every shelf visible.
Ideal For
With no freezer taking a share of the cabinet, the full 346 litres handles a week of fresh shopping, and the VitaFresh drawer keeps fruit and vegetables in condition for longer.
The white finish and vertical bar handle sit quietly in a painted or gloss white kitchen, and the 60cm width drops into a standard appliance gap without special planning.
At 39 dB in noise class C, running on a single compressor and one cooling circuit, it is unobtrusive in a room used for eating and sitting as well as cooking.
Key Features
The whole cabinet is refrigeration, laid out across seven shelves with five of them adjustable, four door bins and a bottle support grid.
A climate-controlled drawer keeps fruit and vegetables usable for longer, which reduces the amount of fresh produce quietly thrown away each week.
Noise class C from a single compressor and one cooling circuit, quiet enough for an open-plan room that stays in use in the evening.
A pull-out glass shelf slides towards you, so items that have drifted to the back of a 65cm deep cabinet are simple to retrieve.
Button-operated Super Cool drops the temperature quickly so newly loaded shopping chills fast without warming everything that was already in the fridge.
Bosch's quoted annual consumption for this cabinet, an E rating on the A to G scale, covering 346 litres of chilled storage.
The case for no freezer at all
Most fridge freezers split the cabinet, and in plenty of homes the freezer half ends up holding two bags of peas and a tub of ice cream. If the real freezing already happens in a chest freezer or a separate upright, that split is simply lost volume. Giving the entire 186 by 60 by 65 centimetre cabinet to chilled storage produces 346 litres of genuinely usable fridge space, which changes how a weekly shop fits.
What VitaFresh does for produce
Fruit and vegetables spoil quickly in the general fridge environment, which is why so much salad goes out untouched. The VitaFresh drawer holds a climate-controlled environment separate from the rest of the cabinet, so produce stays in usable condition for longer. Paired with the Easy Access pull-out shelf, which stops things being forgotten at the back, it makes a measurable difference to what actually gets eaten rather than binned.
Interior layout and everyday practicality
Seven shelves is a generous count, and five of them adjust, so the cabinet reshapes around a tall bottle, a stacked set of containers or a deep dish without wasting the space above. Four door bins take cartons and condiments, and a bottle support grid stops bottles rolling. LED lighting covers the interior rather than just the top shelf. Bosch fits button controls with an LED indication display, and at 61.5kg the appliance is a two-person job to move. The left-hand hinge is reversible.
How It Compares
| Kitchen Need | Bosch Technology | Practical Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| No freezer needed | 346 L all fridge | The whole cabinet works as chilled storage, so nothing is wasted on a freezer section you would rarely open. |
| Weekly fresh shop | Seven shelves, five adjustable | Shelf heights move around what you buy, from stacked containers to deep dishes and tall cartons. |
| Produce going to waste | VitaFresh drawer | A climate-controlled drawer holds fruit and vegetables in usable condition longer than the general fridge environment manages. |
| Deep cabinet clutter | Easy Access pull-out shelf | A glass shelf slides out so the back of a 65cm deep fridge stops being a place things disappear into. |
| Big shop chilling down | Super Cool function | Temperature drops quickly on demand, protecting food already inside while the new shopping comes down to temperature. |
| Open-plan kitchen noise | 39 dB, noise class C | Quiet enough for a room that doubles as living space, running on a single compressor and one cooling circuit. |

The Verdict
Strengths
- 346 litres of chilled space, no freezer section
- Seven shelves with five of them adjustable
- VitaFresh climate-controlled drawer for fruit and vegetables
- Easy Access pull-out glass shelf and bottle grid
- Quiet 39 dB running noise in class C
- LED interior lighting and Super Cool function
- Standard 60cm width with reversible left-hand hinge
Considerations
- There is no freezer compartment or ice box, so this only works alongside a separate freezer for anything you need to freeze.
- The E energy rating is mid-scale on the A to G label, with Bosch quoting 116 kWh a year for the cabinet.
- Bosch lists four door bins for this white model rather than five, and does not list Intelligent Inverter Technology for it as it does for the stainless variant.
