Best fridge for the money!
- April 5, 2022[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my fridge! I've never said that! The ice lasts longer I think cause of the pyramid shape. The water is located inside the left door and I thought I'd hate that but it's cleaner and less ugly than the ones in door. Less cleaning for sure. The filter is amazing compared to my old GE. Water tastes much better. The ice maker is a bit loud and when pump turns on to fill ice tray you can hear it. Of course my room is right off the kitchen so. The drawers are amazing and vegetables and fruits actually do last much much longer. Longer than what Bosch says. I've had blueberries last a month (pictured). Wow! Anyhow, I recommend this model cause it also doesn't have any emblems on front so it'll match any of your appliances. Keeps food well! It has two compressors one for fridge one for freezer that is what makes it so efficient. Also, inside it has vents that circulate the cold air like a convection oven I guess. There are no cold spots and Bosch states they use a lifetime freshness filter so no more baking soda in the fridge. Freezer goes to -7° and the app, if you use, can turn on turbo cool mode remotely so, when you get home from grocery store it'll cool off that warm stuff fast!! It works. It's amazingly large interior for a counter depth unit. Freezer too! I was very apprehensive about "counter depth units". Also, you don't lose that space in top back shelf anymore. They added a bar with bins and I'm telling you it's spacious in there. Much better than larger side by sides in my opinion. Last, thing is the stainless steel is very easy to wipe finger prints off using a regular microfiber rag. As there are no handles I don't get much fingerprints on it but, my roommate sure does! He drives me nuts cause I do t know how he gets them on the front nowhere near where one opens the doors from! I use pledge on mine to make wiping fingerprints off even easier. Anyhow that's my review! If you purchased this unit or are running about it I'll say that you will love this fridge!

Love the clean aesthetics!
- October 17, 2019[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the clean and sleek front. Perfect amount of storage for my family of five. Couldn't be more impressed with the fruit/veggie bins...I've had a bag of spinach in there for 2 1/2 weeks and they're still beautifully green and crisp. This is by far my most favorite feature! I was worried the family would have a hard time adjusting to not having the convenience of in-door water and ice, not the case at all--water just inside the opened fridge door (which comes out colder than our old fridge) and ice with the adorable scoop hasn't been an issue at all. Overall very happy with this fridge.

Beautiful Machine BUT poor quality shell
- January 21, 2022We are a BOSCH kitchen through and through - dishwasher, induction range, oven, and refrigerator. We bought this beautiful refrigerator exactly two years ago. True to BOSCH, its a beautiful machine - aestheically and ergonomically designed, well thought through for door storage shelving; separate cold cuts/cheese, vegetable and fruit units, perfect temperature for cold filtered water; no hassel icemaker with ice cubes perfectly sized, and multiple shelf freezer. Love the machine! But we are so disappointed at the poor quality of the shell. Barely a year in and the right fridge door flap stopped swivling to lock into position to seal the cold air in. And a year and a half in we noticed cracks developing on all the handles of the doors to the point that the freezer door handle is chipping away (see image)!!! Definitely not something you expect from a BOSCH. There needs to be same attention to detail, accountability and quality control for the eterior components as there is for the machinery itself.

Love this Fridge
- April 22, 2022[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so excited about this fridge. I have been eyeing this Bosch fridge for a while now. It is spacious, but still is a cabinet depth. We had to get used to the smaller size because our previous fridge was a full size. This one is perfect because it forces us to manage the space better. We have a 2-drawer egg holder that fits nicely on the lower shelf so the space is well thought out. I also like the adjustable shelves that help keep things organized based on each person's needs. We have been without an ice maker for 5+ years and it is so nice to have this feature once again. Ice cube shape is cool. I also really like that the water dispenser is inside the fridge instead of on the outside because our grandkids would be playing with it non-stop if it was on the outside. The veggie/fruit drawer extends the life of our produce so much longer. We haven't had anything spoil yet and we used to always have this problem. If I could improve on one thing it is the meat tray in the main fridge area. It is a little flimsy compared to the rest of the fridge. Perhaps a little higher grade drawer slides would improve it. Other than that, we love the fridge and look forward to many years of use.

Fantastic Fridge!
- March 31, 2022[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought a house in 2018, and after two years the dishwasher stopped working. We ended up getting a Bosch, and were so impressed with it's overall quality and opertation, we decided to replace our fridge and microwave with Bosch units as well! The design, thought, and implementation of the 800 series fridge is amazing. The build quality is superb, and it has some excellent features. The middle drawer has it's own air circulation, and can adapt to any type of food you want to store in there (veggies, snacks, meats, etc). The interior glass shelves are very durable, the led lighting is so crisp and balanced, and the freezer compartments are extremely versatile. We are overwhelmingly happy with this purchase and wouldn't think twice about buying another Bosch!

Best Fridge Ive ever had!
- December 14, 2023[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this Bosch 800. It is counter depth, very well designed for creative space use. The drawers are very space saving. We still haven't maxed out the side × side yet. The vegetable & fruit drawers are genius. I added little divider bins for oranges, apples & berries on one side and have all the vegetables on the other. They all stay fresher longer than my old fridge. Love the ice tray & shallow pullout for my frozen vegetables. The larger drawer I vertically place all my large frozen foods. We have it set on 'eco' mode. It runs very quiet. The interior lighting is pretty. The controls are easy to learn & use. Water tastes great & fills glasses easily without dripping.

Usable space
- August 12, 2025[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this model. The design is user friendly. The 3 drawers freezer is functional for longer term storage and leftovers. The flex door keeps fruit and vegetables fresh longer and easy to view. The French door makes finding items easier with deep door pockets for things you need often. One of the best features is the fingerprint resistant doors. No special product needed. So nice.

French Door bottom mount 800 Series B36CL80SNS
- September 30, 2024(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This fridge is amazing. I have been using for about a month. The organization is beautiful. I'm still learning on the vita drawer. But over all this fridge is great. It has three levels of storage in the freezer, and love it. So easy to find things. Also the flex bar to add storage in the fridge was a good idea.

Exceptional refrigerator. No kidding. Exceptional.
- March 1, 2022[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I, like many of you, did a fair amount of research over the last 3 years or so before we purchased our refrigerator. We owned/ moved an old Kenmore S/S for 20 years and probably 4x moves. We have been hoping for the last few years for it to die, but couldn't really decide on what to replace it with. I sold mid-level to upper-level appliances years ago and am a bit technically minded, so we researched the issues that most appliances have. Because of this, we didn't want an ice dispenser in the door. Icemakers are the cause of probably 70-80% of refrigerator problems. We also didn't care if it has an interior water dispenser, but that wasn't a deal-breaker (we have a water bottle dispenser in our kitchen). We did want 2 doors/ 2 drawers. I also liked the idea of dual compressors, but understand that is one extra chance for a problem. My wife found this Bosch series a couple of months ago and we looked at it at a store. We liked it a lot, but from what I knew at that time, I didn't think that Bosch made their line of refrigerators in-house. We found out in our research that this line is made by Bosch and not just licensed to them from another manufacturer. Long story short, we bought the appliance and had it delivered maybe 4 days later. The delivery guys were very professional/ prompt and did a good job with installation. We have had it installed now for about a month/ 6 weeks and it is a great refrigerator. We have to fight the urge to not just stand in front of it with the doors open and stare at the inside. Our food looks better than in our old fridge! We also have so much room in the fresh food section. One hesitation we had was the counter-depth difference in interior volume. That risk has been completely unfounded. We have more room now than with our old one and it was larger (supposedly). One challenge is the freezer section volume. The 3 drawer system is very efficient with space, but the height limit is something to be aware of. If you have a separate freezer in the garage or similar, that solves the problem. Or, you may want to consider one. We have an extra top freezer fridge in the garage, so we use that freezer for overflow. Our food (produce/ fruit) does seem to keep a bit longer than in our other fridge, which is something touted in the sales pitch for this unit. We believe it. We also like the internet connectivity is limited to basic controls and not an iPad with a refrigerator attached. It lets you know if the door is open and I assume I can change settings from my phone. We haven't used that feature, but I can see that it may be of use in some instance. If you are on the fence about buying this unit, get it. You will love it. We do.

It's a Wowzer!
- October 25, 2022[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay, I admit it: I am embarrassingly in love with my Bosch refrigerator...When my gorgeous Bosch refrigerator arrived, my partner commented, "Whenever you feel depressed, just look at your fridge." (And believe me, I do; and traded him in for the fridge.) The theater lights, the middle drawer, the water dispenser, the three freezer drawers; never have I had such a beautiful, functional refrigerator! I am in heaven, every time I look at it! It makes my whole kitchen elegant and European. Every visitor who comes--whether they are prepared, or not--gets a "tour" of it. I must be gentle with them; because this, I realize, is true: they’re all ridiculously jealous.
