Description
Bosch Series 4 Freestanding No Frost Fridge Freezer with VitaFresh XXL, 203 x 60 cm
An energy class B fridge freezer using 129 kWh a year, with 363 litres of No Frost storage, VitaFresh XXL drawers and a 33 dB running noise.
Energy class B is the headline here. On the current A to G scale, this one draws 129 kWh a year while still holding 363 litres: 260 in the fridge and 103 in the freezer, in a standard 60 cm by 203 cm cabinet. It is also quiet, at 33 dB(A) in noise class B.
Efficiency has not come at the cost of the features. VitaFresh XXL provides extra-large climate-controlled drawers for fresh food, Multi Airflow distributes air evenly through the cabinet, and Total No Frost means the freezer never needs defrosting by hand. Five shelves, four door bins and a bottle support grid organise the fridge, with LED lighting that starts softly.
Ideal For
Energy class B and 129 kWh a year make this the choice for a household weighing up long-term running consumption, without dropping below 363 litres of usable storage.
Thirty-three decibels in noise class B suits apartments, open-plan rooms and kitchens that open onto a living space, where a noisy compressor becomes obvious in the evening.
VitaFresh XXL drawers, five shelves and a bottle support grid suit households that buy fresh regularly and want the produce to last the full week.
Key Features
On the current A to G scale, the appliance is rated B and draws 129 kWh a year, which is the standout figure on its spec sheet.
Noise class B, quiet enough that the appliance does not announce itself when the kitchen is being used as a living space in the evening.
A 260 litre fridge over a 103 litre freezer, with five shelves, four door bins, a bottle support grid and three freezing drawers.
Extra-large climate-controlled drawers designed to keep fresh food in good condition for longer, with Multi Airflow distributing air evenly around the cabinet.
The freezer defrosts automatically and ice does not build up, so its three drawers keep their capacity and never need emptying for a thaw.
Frozen food is stated to hold temperature for up to 18 hours if the supply fails, and warnings flag an open door or a temperature rise.
What class B actually means
The EU rescaled its energy labels so that the top grades are genuinely hard to earn, which makes a class B rating on a 203 cm fridge freezer worth noticing. The declared consumption is 129 kWh a year. A fridge freezer is one of the few appliances in a house that never switches off, so the annual energy figure deserves more attention than almost any other number on the spec sheet. Here it comes without giving up No Frost or VitaFresh XXL.
Quiet enough for open-plan rooms
At 33 dB(A) in noise class B, this is an appliance you notice by its absence. That matters more than it used to: kitchens have become the room where people work, eat and talk, and a compressor cycling loudly in the corner is a genuine irritation. The same design also brings Multi Airflow for even air distribution and two independent cooling circuits, so the fridge and the freezer are not fighting each other for cold air.
Installing a 203 cm cabinet
The cabinet stands 203 cm high, 60 cm wide and 66.5 cm deep, and weighs 82.7 kg, so the delivery route and the doorway are worth measuring first. Perfect Fit means it can be pushed right up against a wall or set into a niche once it is in place. The door is right hinged with a reversible option and an integrated vertical handle, and the climate class covers everything from a cool room to a warm one, from extended temperate through to tropical.
How It Compares
| Kitchen Need | Bosch Technology | Practical Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Long-term running costs | Energy class B, 129 kWh | A class B rating and 129 kWh a year on an appliance that runs continuously all year round. |
| Open-plan kitchen noise | 33 dB(A), noise class B | Quiet enough that conversation, television and working at the table are not interrupted by the compressor. |
| Keeping produce fresh | VitaFresh XXL drawers | Extra-large climate-controlled drawers are designed to keep fresh food in good condition for longer. |
| Freezer upkeep | Total No Frost | Automatic defrosting keeps the three freezer drawers clear, so no annual empty-and-thaw is required. |
| Power cuts | 18 hour storage time | Frozen contents are stated to hold temperature for up to 18 hours if the supply is interrupted. |
| Tight kitchen gaps | Perfect Fit installation | The appliance can sit right against a wall or inside a niche instead of needing clearance around it. |

The Verdict
Strengths
- Energy class B, 129 kWh per year
- 33 dB(A) running noise, noise class B
- 363 litres total across fridge and freezer
- VitaFresh XXL climate-controlled drawers with Multi Airflow
- Total No Frost freezer, no manual defrosting
- Up to 18 hours storage during a power cut
- Perfect Fit installation against a wall or niche
Considerations
- At 82.7 kg and 203 cm tall this is a heavy appliance, so plan the delivery route and allow two people.
- The fridge holds 260 litres and the freezer 103, so a household that freezes in bulk may want more capacity.
- Bosch states a decor door panel is not possible, so this is a freestanding appliance and cannot be built in.
