Bosch Series 2 Freestanding Under Counter Fridge with 4-Star Freezer Compartment
A compact 85 cm under counter fridge with 106 litres of fridge space, a 14 litre four-star freezer box and SuperCooling for faster chilling of new shopping.
The KTL15NWEAG is Bosch's Series 2 table top fridge, built to slot under a worktop at 85 cm high and 56 cm wide. Inside there are 106 litres of fridge space plus a separate 14 litre four-star freezer compartment, which makes it a sensible single appliance for a studio, a small flat or a utility room.
The 14 litre freezer compartment carries a four-star rating and sits inside the same cabinet, so there is no second appliance to find room for. Elsewhere the layout is straightforward: two fridge shelves, one of them adjustable, three door bins and a MultiBox with a rippled base for fruit and vegetables. LED lighting keeps everything visible and a door open alarm sounds if the door is left ajar.
Ideal For
At 56 cm wide and 85 cm high it tucks under a standard worktop, giving a one or two person household 106 litres of fridge and a small freezer without a full-height cabinet.
A freestanding White cabinet with a reversible right-hand hinge suits a utility room, spare room or holiday let as extra cold storage, and the nine hour power failure rating covers a short outage.
Straightforward controls, no app and no menus, with SuperCooling the only button you are likely to press after a big shop. It is the fridge you set up once and forget about.
Key Features
Two shelves, one of them adjustable, and three door bins hold a week's fresh food for a small household, with a MultiBox at the base for fruit and vegetables.
A separate freezer compartment inside the same cabinet, four-star rated, so frozen food has a proper home rather than sharing space with the fridge shelves.
Drops the fridge temperature quickly so a fresh shop chills down fast and the food already inside is not warmed by the new arrivals.
Class C noise emissions of 39 dB(A) keep the compressor unobtrusive, which matters when the fridge sits in a small kitchen or a studio living space.
If the electricity goes off, Bosch rates the freezer compartment to hold its temperature for nine hours, enough to see out most short interruptions.
The door is hinged on the right as standard and can be swapped to the left, so the fridge works in either corner of a small kitchen.
What an 85 cm fridge fits
Under counter appliances are measured to sit beneath a standard worktop, and this one is 85 cm high, 56 cm wide and 58 cm deep. That footprint is smaller than a standard 60 cm cabinet, which is useful in a galley kitchen where every centimetre of run counts. Inside, the 106 litres of fridge space are divided between two shelves and three door bins, with the MultiBox taking the bottom of the cabinet.
The freezer box, honestly assessed
Fourteen litres is a freezer compartment, not a freezer. It carries a four-star rating and will take ice, a couple of bags of vegetables and a few ready meals. If you batch cook or buy frozen in bulk, plan on a separate freezer alongside it. If you mostly shop fresh and just want somewhere for ice cream and a spare loaf, it does the job without taking a second footprint in the room.
Running costs and everyday noise
Bosch rates the KTL15NWEAG at 139 kWh a year on the current EU label, which places it in energy class E. That is the figure to compare against other table top models rather than against full-height fridge freezers, which hold far more and use more. Noise is quoted at 39 dB(A), class C, so the compressor is audible if you are standing beside it but easy to ignore from a sofa in the same room. The climate class covers extended temperate through subtropical conditions.
How It Compares
| Kitchen Need | Bosch Technology | Practical Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Small flat kitchen | 85 x 56 cm cabinet | Slides under a standard worktop and takes less width than a 60 cm appliance, freeing counter run. |
| Weekly fresh shop | 106 L fridge capacity | Two shelves and three door bins hold a small household's fresh food without stacking things on top of each other. |
| Keeping some frozen | 14 L four-star compartment | A dedicated freezer box inside the same cabinet, so you do not need a second appliance for basics. |
| After a big shop | SuperCooling function | Temporarily drops the temperature so newly loaded food chills quickly and what was already inside stays cold. |
| Open-plan studio | 39 dB(A) noise class C | Quiet enough that the compressor fades into the background when the fridge shares a room with a sofa. |
| Awkward door swing | Reversible right hinge | The door can be rehung on the left, so the fridge fits either side of a narrow galley. |

The Verdict
Strengths
- 106 litres of fridge space in an 85 cm cabinet
- Separate 14 litre four-star freezer compartment
- SuperCooling drops the temperature after a big shop
- 39 dB(A) running noise, class C
- Door open alarm and LED interior lighting
- Reversible right-hand hinge for either kitchen layout
- Nine hour storage time during a power cut
Considerations
- The 14 litre freezer compartment is small; households that batch cook or buy frozen in bulk will need a separate freezer.
- Energy class E on the current EU label, so running costs are higher than a top-rated refrigerator of similar size.
- There is no app control and no frost-free system, so the freezer compartment will need defrosting by hand from time to time.
