Description
Bosch Series 2 Built-In Integrated Tall Larder Fridge, 177.2 x 54.1 cm, sliding hinge
A fully integrated larder fridge with 310 litres of fridge-only storage, an inverter compressor and two MultiBox drawers, running at a quiet 35 dB(A).
The KIR81NSE0G is Bosch's tall Series 2 built-in fridge, a full-height column that fits a 1775 by 560 by 550 mm niche behind your own kitchen door. All 310 litres are given over to fresh food, with no freezer compartment eating into the space, which suits households that keep a separate freezer.
Inside there are seven safety glass shelves, five of them height adjustable, five door bins and two MultiBox drawers including a MultiBox XXL for fruit and vegetables. An intelligent inverter compressor and an interior ventilator hold the temperature steady, and the whole thing runs at 35 dB(A) on 114 kWh a year.
Ideal For
With 310 litres and no freezer compartment, a full weekly shop of vegetables, dairy and leftovers fits without stacking, and two MultiBox drawers keep produce separate.
A sliding hinge carries your furniture door, and the 1775 mm niche means the fridge fills a full-height cabinet run without breaking the line of the units.
At 35 dB(A) with a class B noise rating, the fridge stays in the background of a kitchen that also serves as a sitting or dining space.
Key Features
The whole cabinet is given to fresh food, so nothing is lost to a freezer box and the shelves run the full height of the column.
An extra-large drawer takes fruit and vegetables, with a second MultiBox alongside it, so produce is kept apart from the rest of the shelves.
Five of the seven safety glass shelves are height adjustable, so tall bottles and deep containers can be accommodated without rearranging everything else.
An intelligent inverter compressor with an interior ventilator holds the temperature stable rather than cycling hard, which also helps keep running noise down.
Lower the fridge temperature ahead of a big shop, so newly added food chills quickly and what is already inside is not warmed by it.
Bosch rates the fridge at 114 kWh per year, class E on the current label, and automatic defrosting means no manual maintenance of the fridge section.
Why choose a larder fridge
Splitting cold storage into two appliances is a deliberate choice. Give the whole column over to fresh food and you get 310 litres of usable fridge, seven shelves and five door bins, without the awkward compromise of a small freezer box at the bottom that never quite holds enough. It works best when a freezer already lives elsewhere in the house, or when a separate integrated freezer sits in the next cabinet.
Steady temperature, quiet running
The intelligent inverter compressor varies its speed rather than switching fully on and off, and an interior ventilator moves air around the cabinet so the shelves sit at a similar temperature top to bottom. The practical result is a stated noise figure of 35 dB(A), class B on the energy label, which matters in an open-plan room where the fridge is only a few metres from where you sit. Bright LED lighting and an easy-clean interior finish it off.
Fitting and living with it
This is a fully integrated appliance on a sliding hinge, which means your own kitchen door is fitted to the front and moves with the appliance door. The niche needs to be 1775 mm high, 560 mm wide and 550 mm deep; the appliance itself measures 177.2 by 54.1 by 54.8 cm and weighs 51.9 kg, so installation is a two-person job. The door is right hinged and reversible, and an alarm sounds if it is left open. The power cord is 230 cm long.
How It Compares
| Kitchen Need | Bosch Technology | Practical Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Big weekly shop | 310 litre fridge capacity | Fridge-only storage means the full shop goes in without stacking, across seven shelves and five door bins. |
| Fruit and vegetables | MultiBox XXL drawer | An extra-large drawer plus a second MultiBox keeps produce in its own space instead of loose on a shelf. |
| Tall bottles | Five adjustable shelves | Five of the seven safety glass shelves move up and down, so a tall jug or bottle finds a home. |
| Open-plan kitchen noise | 35 dB(A) operation | A class B noise rating keeps the fridge unobtrusive when the kitchen is also the room you relax in. |
| Restocking after shopping | SuperCool function | Chills the fridge in advance so newly loaded food comes down to temperature without warming what is already stored. |
| Running costs | 114 kWh per year | Bosch's stated annual consumption for this model, with an intelligent inverter compressor managing the cooling load. |

The Verdict
Strengths
- 310 litres of fridge-only storage, no freezer compartment

- Two MultiBox drawers including a MultiBox XXL
- Intelligent inverter compressor with interior ventilator
- Quiet 35 dB(A) running, noise class B

- Automatic fridge defrost and door open alarm
Considerations
- There is no freezer compartment at all, so a separate freezer is needed for anything you want to keep frozen.
- It requires a full-height 1775 mm integrated niche and a furniture door, so installation by a fitter is essential.
- Rated E for energy at 114 kWh a year, and there is no Home Connect for app control or remote monitoring.
