DLM, Coventry

+ The fridge freezer is well designed and can accomodate things of an unusual size in comparison to the american style fridge freezers. The price waas the best I found at the time of purchase.

- There is a red warning light that has appeared on the display and we have called someone out to look at it. It took 3 working days for an engineer to be sent. They replaced the display module and all was fine for 3 hours. Then the red light came back on. Wre've called them out again but it will be another 3 working days before they get here. I could have lost a lot of food by now if there was actually a problem with th fridge freezer itself.

Demo, Epsom

+ As always with a Bosch appliance you are buying something at the better end of machine quality, and this is obvious when you compare it with other makes.

- As with many makes there can be too many easily breakable plastic parts. More strength would be prefered ie metal or stronger plastics.

+ Good quality glass shelves.
Plenty of fridge space.
Clear convenient temperature/status indicators

- The fridge door is badly designed. I often find it is partially open wasting electricity and icing up the insides. This is because if you push the door, so that it slowly swings to, the plastic sensor catch at the top of the frame is too stiff and prevents the door from closing properly. Alternatively if you swing the door shut faster it can bounce of the surrounding seal and again remains open. This is very annoying. With my last fridge the door would naturally swing shut under its own weight even if I accidentally left it open.

+ This is a solidly built appliance. everything you'd expect from the Bosch name. I love the slide out ice-cube tray shelf. Solidly built freezer compartments, roomy too.

- A minor gripe really, the egg holder is only big enough for tiny eggs, it also only has space for five eggs. What about that sixth egg?

+ it's a fridge and freezer and is the right size

- the shelves can't be positioned at many differnet heights within the fridge, especially annoying is that it's hard to enable bottles to be stood up, and the shelves in the door can't be moved as they could on the older version of this same fridge. But most annoying is that the back wall of the fridge freezes up all the time, and anything touching it (bags of salad, fruit etc) will then freeze. We have been told this is normal.
