Do you have any feedback data on the new Bosch counter depth refrigerators? I have searched KZread and have followed some owners who have not reported favorability. Their key issues were door seal not very strong, alarms continue to go off and surprising ice maker issues. Of course this may not be a representative sample, but a few owners took the time to post a few videos. Any thoughts?

Unfortunately it appears most counter depth fridge are 36 inches. Initially I had to replace a 30 inch one. Which they don’t make anymore. I was able to find only a single 33 inch Samsung that would fit in the space.

We bought a Bosch just a couple of months ago Feb 2021. I thought we would be disappointed by no ice and water in the door, but we don’t miss it at all! The ice is wonderful and we are already used to it. No sweat opening the door for a glass of water. This is the most organized easy fridge we have ever owned! WE LOVE everything about this fridge. We opted for the big crisper drawer and its great!

Perhaps you could try a new water filter or make sure it’s in good and tight. Good luck!

We have had our Bosch counter depth fridge for a year now. Holidays, parties, big bowls of summer fruit, tons of fresh veggies in the center drawer, ice, ice, ice. GREAT ICE! In fact all our company compliments “I really like your ice” and even it’s fun to get ice, because it is so easy to scoop out of the handy ice drawer. Best fridge we have ever owned! Great lighting, good controls, easy to change the water filter. Quiet! This was an excellent purchase. I will be looking at Bosch first for future needs.

looked at a counter depth model today. a little disappointed that the doors open past 180 degrees and are interfered with by side cabinets unless pulled out slightly--no?

I am in the process of a kitchen remodel. I did eventually make the decision to purchase this refrigerator. I chose the model with the recessed handles.I have never had a counter depth unit, realizing that I will be sacrificing internal capacity. I have seen independent reviews of this refrigerator mostly on KZread that have not been so inspiring. I suppose anyone can have problems with any brand. I did purchase from a reliable local appliance dealer. Also during my research, many people indicate BOSCH customer service is not that great. It’s unfortunate because it’s a major appliance brand.

Very informative review. I learned so much more from this than my appliance salesman, ie: that you can push the bar on the water dispenser for large jugs of water vs just pushing the little button. Every refrigerator I have owned had issues with jamming ice makers or ice that just seem to fall out of the dispenser in the door on their own, as well as things freezing in the lower drawer of the refrigerator. We also have hard water here, and the ice/water dispenser on the door gets really nasty looking after a few years. This refrigerator design really seems to have resolved a lot of issues. I am just wondering how durable this is?

Thank you so much for the video. Just received my new Bosch (black stainless) and your video helped me to see how to set up the interior and reinforce I made a good purchase.

With the three door (B36CT80SNS), I see that you can control two drawers separately so you can have one for meat and one for vegetables. With the four door (B36CL80SNS), it appears that the entire drawer is controlled by one setting. If I designate that as the vegetable drawer, where would I put the meats? Appreciate the advice -- trying to determine which of the two I want to purchase. Thanks!

Can you turn off the ice maker if not in use?

How is the fridge working now William?

Thank you for the very informative and great review. Quick question: are these fridges assembled in US or China. I have read some websites stating China and others have states North Carolina. Thank you in advance for your response.

Very good looking fridge.

Problem for me is all there refrigerators are 72” in height. Way to tall to fit in my spot.

Is the pull-up drawer dedicated to Deli and cheese? Do you know what temperature the drawer is set to and if there is any humidity control? I believe this drawer should have a low humidity setting. With regards to the four-door unit. How is it possible to keep both vegetables in one bin and fruits in the other when vegetables require a high humidity environment and fruits a humidity environment?

Sounds like a bionic fridge! Love the features

I like it! I may replace my samsung for one of these bosch brands merely for the silence feature of 40db

Very helpful video. Very blunt about Bosch but seal the deal with me & Bosch.

Thanks for the video. I have this question. Will any French door refrig fit in an opening that is width 39 in, height 68 in, depth 32 1/2 in.. I can remove the cabinet above the current opening to take care of a 70 inch. But what about when the door is open at 90°? Will it fit within the 39" opening?

is it possible to turn off the ice maker???

My whole kitchen is fitted with Bosch appliance but I need that French door to make it complete, but we don’t have them here in South Africa. How can I get this refrigerator

Just got one but water is not cold and barely makes two cups of ice. Not happy.

Great video! We're considering a Bosch french door - what is the benefit to getting the 3 door w/vegetable trays in the top portion vs the 4 door w/the separate vegetable tray?

@DesignerAppliances

Great question! All Bosch refrigerators in this lineup share the same benefits when it comes to the vegetable tray (aka vita fresh pro) regardless of the door configuration you choose. Both door designs provide humidity/temperature control and custom settings for the vita fresh drawer, which includes fish, veggies, drinks, etc. We see customers purchasing the 4 door design if they have kids and want to have an easy access drawer for drinks or snacks so they don't keep opening the entire fridge. Hope that helps!

What's the compelling reason to buy a Chinese made Bosch refrigerator?

@romanticdonkey468

4 жыл бұрын

The fact that it’s not Korean. I will never again buy anything made by Samsung. This is the 3rd time Samsung has failed us. Our current refrigerator has been a nightmare. The ice maker was the first issue that was repaired twice. We have not had a working freezer for 3 months because the control board is on a never ending backorder. We are fortunate that the place we purchased it is willing to refund our money as a credit towards a new fridge. Paid over $1k for a Samsung dishwasher that ended up being replaced after multiple failures. My brother had the exact same experience as we did. Although we love the 4 door Samsung flex, it is sadly nothing more than expensive trash. Never again.

Tim Golden... Perhaps people like the design and features? Having duel compressors would be a good reason to buy this fridge. Bosch makes fantastic dishwashers. This might turn out to be a fantastic fridge. Most companies today sources with their parts or labor from foreign countries. Take a look at the auto industry. Many foreign auto makers have plants in the states, while Detroit heavily relies on Mexico. I feel most products today are low quality, regardless of where the parent company is from or the source of the labor. As China continues to expand into the 1st world in regard to their manufacturing, they are producing much higher quality products than the past. A prime example would be in mobile phones. They are soon to be the leader in the industry. I think the label of where something is made is becoming less of an issue as the stereotypes are disproven. Country loyalty is becoming increasingly difficult. Look what Anheuser-Busch. Anyone still think Budweiser is an American beer? All in all, I’d like to support my fellow neighbors, but sadly that isn’t always possible. Also remember that even if a company is based in your home country, the financials are usually spread globally. If you want to support your neighbor, then buy from small businesses, but realize the products they sell likely have some sort of global influence at some point down the line. I grew up buying American made, but what does that even mean anymore?

Whats the middle drawer for? Can it be used as a freezer?

@DesignerAppliances

4 жыл бұрын

Good question Lambert Orejola - the middle drawer is a fresco compartment, meaning it can keep your food cool but not enough to freeze. It gives you the option to control temperatures and humidity with 5 presets. The most popular use is for fruits and vegetables (less wilting and browning - items stay fresher longer) but you can also store meats, fish, even drinks or snacks at the desired preset. If the middle drawer isn't necessary for your lifestyle however, Bosch makes other configurations without a middle drawer to give more space in the fridge and freezer compartments. Hope that helps!

thanks. very thorough.

DANG I bought the 3 door. I personally don’t like 4 doors. Seems like a gimmick.

Stay away from purchasing a Bosch 500 refrigerator given my experience of a faulty ice making and fresh water unit that has not worked properly after 3 months since we bought it. Then try to get it repaired.

The interior water dispenser makes no sense to me especially when talking about food preservation. To keep the door open for how ever long it takes to fill what ever size container throws food preservation out the window. We are a family of 4 with busy schedules (yes, even in a pandemic). We would be filling bottles all day keeping doors open for way longer than needed. The fridge is also going to work extra hard just to come back up to temp. Not sold on that concept. Ill stick with the exterior water dispenser.
