The two models are basically the same. The only difference I know of is the ENS doesn't have handles and the SNS does. The SNS model also has the Bosch logo on the door. I recently purchased the ENS model but haven't had it long enough to post a review.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There are other subtle differences besides the handles. The model with handles has a different configuration of the controls for the middle (VitaFresh) drawer. The backlight controls are centered and only visible when the drawer is open. On the handle free model, these settings are to the left and visible even when the drawer is closed. Normally they’re darkened but they light up when you touch it or when any of the doors is open. There’s a cool effect after you shut all the doors. The VitaFresh display goes out after about 30 seconds then a bright line appears and fades out quickly. It reminds me of when the Starship Enterprise goes into warp drive. Btw There’s another handle free model with a wide glass window in the middle drawer so the contents are visible. It’s suggested that it could be used for beverages (cans or bottles) and food platters. I have the handle free model and I’m very pleased!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Gwen. Thank you for your question. Model B36CL80ENS has Recessed Handles and B36CT80SNS has Bosch Signature Handles. The interior features are the same.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Other than the difference in handles, SNS=signature, ENS=recessed, as per specs, ENS has 0.5 Cu. Ft. of less capacity than SNS. I'm considering SNS as it is on sale.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Extra manufacturing process. Instead of the less expensive bolt on handles, the door and interior have to have cuts / mounds incorporated to accommodate a grab area.
