Full review
The Bosch Series 4 KIN86VSE0G is a safe choice for most fitted kitchens. It fits the common 177.5 cm high, 56 cm wide built-in niche, uses a sliding hinge that works with most kitchen door fronts, and the door can be swapped to open from either side.
Inside, 260 litres split into a 184-litre fridge and a 76-litre four-star freezer with three drawers. The freezer is frost free, which is a big plus in an integrated model because defrosting a built-in unit is awkward. The VitaFresh XXL drawer runs below 0°C to keep meat and fish fresher for longer, and FreshSense sensors help hold the set temperature.
SuperCooling and superFreezing modes help after a big shop, and noise is a reasonable 35 dB(A), class B, which matters when the fridge sits in a run of cabinets.
Efficiency is middling: E-rated at 234 kWh a year. The Siemens KI96NVFD0G and Haier HBQW5518DK are D-rated if running costs are your priority. There is no app control. Bosch Ireland lists five years of cover if you register within three months, for purchases between April 2026 and March 2027.
