Description
Bosch Series 4 Freestanding No Frost Fridge Freezer with VitaFresh, 203 x 60 cm
A 203cm fridge freezer with 368 litres of No Frost storage, VitaFresh drawers and an Easy Access pull-out shelf that brings the back of the fridge forward.
Standard 60 cm width, full 203 cm height, 368 litres inside: the KGN392LEBG is the shape most Irish kitchens are built around, with the fridge given the larger share at 279 litres. Five shelves, three of them adjustable, and four door bins organise it, and the freezer below runs to 89 litres over three drawers.
The Easy Access shelf is the detail you notice daily. It is a pull-out glass shelf, so the jar that has migrated to the back comes forward instead of being excavated. VitaFresh drawers hold food at around 0 °C to keep it fresh for longer, and Individual Temperature Control lets the fridge and freezer be set separately.
Ideal For
A 60 cm width and 203 cm height fit the space most fitted kitchens leave for a fridge freezer, and Perfect Fit allows it to sit right against a wall.
Two hundred and seventy-nine litres of the 368 total go to the fridge, which suits homes that shop fresh several times a week rather than freezing in bulk.
The Easy Access pull-out glass shelf and three adjustable shelves make the back of the fridge reachable, which helps anyone who would rather not lean in and rummage.
Key Features
Two hundred and seventy-nine litres of fridge over an 89 litre freezer, with five shelves, four door bins and three freezing drawers.
A pull-out glass shelf brings whatever has drifted to the back of the fridge out to the front, without unloading everything in front of it.
Climate-controlled drawers run at around zero degrees, which is aimed at keeping fresh food in good condition for longer than open shelf storage.
Ice does not build up in the freezer and defrosting is automatic, so the drawers keep their full capacity and never need a manual thaw.
Fridge and freezer are set separately from button controls with LED indication, and SuperCooling and superFreezing are available when a large shop goes in.
The fridge is lit by LEDs that come up gently rather than glaring, and warnings cover an open fridge door or a temperature rise.
Reaching the back of the fridge
Every fridge has a dead zone at the back of the middle shelf. The Easy Access Shelf is Bosch's answer: a glass shelf that pulls out, so the contents come to you rather than the other way round. It sounds minor written down. In daily use it is the difference between finding the leftovers and rediscovering them a week later, and it makes the full 279 litres of fridge space genuinely usable rather than nominally available.
Two compartments, two settings
Individual Temperature Control means the fridge and the freezer are set independently, so a fridge running slightly cooler for a week of fresh fish does not drag the freezer with it. Both compartments have a boost: SuperCooling for the fridge and superFreezing for the freezer, useful in the hours after a big shop. An LED display shows what is set, and warnings cover an open fridge door and a temperature rise.
Where the capacity is allocated
Three hundred and sixty-eight litres in total, with 279 in the fridge and 89 in the freezer, is a deliberate split. It suits a household that shops fresh two or three times a week and keeps the freezer for a fortnight of basics rather than a season of batch cooking. Three freezing drawers with a four-star rating handle that job, and Total No Frost keeps them free of ice. If the power goes, frozen food holds for 12 hours.
How It Compares
| Kitchen Need | Bosch Technology | Practical Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Standard 60cm gap | 203 x 60 cm cabinet | Fills the space a fitted kitchen usually leaves, using height rather than width for its 368 litres. |
| Reaching the back | Easy Access pull-out shelf | A glass shelf slides forward so items at the back come out without unloading the front row. |
| Keeping salad fresh | VitaFresh drawers at 0 °C | Climate-controlled drawers at around zero degrees aim to keep fresh food in condition for longer. |
| Different cooling needs | Individual Temperature Control | Fridge and freezer are set separately, so adjusting one compartment does not affect the other. |
| Big shop days | SuperCooling and superFreezing | Both compartments can be boosted from the controls when a large amount of food goes in at once. |
| Freezer maintenance | Total No Frost | Automatic defrosting keeps the three freezer drawers clear of ice and removes the manual thaw entirely. |

The Verdict
Strengths
- 368 litres total with a 279 litre fridge
- Easy Access pull-out glass shelf in the fridge
- VitaFresh drawers held at around 0 °C
- Total No Frost freezer, no manual defrosting
- Individual Temperature Control for fridge and freezer
- LED lighting with soft start, LED display
- Perfect Fit installation against a wall or niche
Considerations
- The freezer holds 89 litres over three drawers, which is modest if you batch cook or buy frozen food in bulk.
- Energy class is E at 238 kWh a year, and running noise is 39 dB(A) in noise class C.
- Bosch states a decor door panel is not possible, so this is freestanding only and cannot be built into cabinetry.
