Customer Ratings & Reviews

We went from a Side by Side model to a French Door version. We have had this fridge for a month now and really like it. Pros: - This fridge is very quiet - There is a lot of storage space both fridge and freezer - You can fit more items on the door shelves on the ice maker side than in other models. - The top freezer shelf pulls all the way out unlike some models. - it is much easier to organize food in the freezer section than it was in our side by side - My wife loves the water bottle fill feature (NOTE: you must watch it, if the bottle has water in it the fill feature will fill the bottle to the very top. We usually just tap the button to stop it) Things to consider - The 500 series isn't as well lit as the 800 series. With that said I have had no issues finding food in it - the water dispenser stream angles to the back and not straight down - the crisper drawer on the ice maker side cant open all the way if the other door is closed, however it opens far enough to where I can get what I need from it - a forth drawer separate from the main fridge for meat and cheeses would be nice to reduce opening both doors but that was only and option in the 800 series which is back ordered and too tall for our space. - When we first got it we stored our food in coolers to let it get to the correct temperature as per Bosch's recommendation. - read the manual there are a ton a refrigeration features for this model. We are definitely happy with our purchase

Replaced an older GE model that was almost 29 years old. Hope this one lasts. It fit perfectly and is bigger than I thought. So far it's been great. Easy to clean and can configure the shelves any way I want it!

I just purchased the new Bosch 500 26 cubic foot refrigerator. I was excited to see they finally came out with a full size. Pros: Love the interior and the see through drawers and shelves, and the stainless steel back. The door shelves are large and fit more than my previous refrigerator. All the drawers roll smoothly and are quiet. The water dispenser is great as it angles back and doesn’t spray. The opening to the dispenser is much taller and will fit a bottle and has a hands free fill. The freezer has lots of storage. Cons: The water/ice dispenser is a little high for kiddos. If you have a home with teens it’s fine but the littles will struggle to reach. The biggest drawback for me is the lack of interior lighting, it looked perfect until I started filling it with groceries. The two side lights just aren't enough, and for the $3000 price tag I would expect more. The top shelves are dark because of this and could use a light above. The ice maker doesn't hold a ton and I was disappointed when it was removed to empty the first batch of ice. It definitely holds more than ice makers that are built into the door, but not as much as others with ice makers built into the refrigerator. It claims to be fingerprint resistant which is not the case. It has a door alarm but it doesn’t work if the door is touching but not closed all they way. It senses the mullion which is the strip that creates a seal when the two doors are closed. The air vents are positioned in inconvenient places and will freeze your food. You definitely need to be strategic when stocking the refrigerator or you’ll end up with frozen eggs. I never paid attention to air vents before and couldn’t tell you where they were placed as this was never an issue. We needed a repair man right after install because one of the doors would not stay open and kept swinging shut while stocking. It’s basically a design flaw according to the repair person. Most doors will stay open until you shut them. If your floor isn’t perfectly level these doors will close. Made in China. I have all Bosch appliances and this was the missing piece. It’s a beautiful appliance but has room for improvement in my opinion.

We love this refrigerator! It has the room of a much larger size due to the shelves on the door and the roomy bins. It makes a lot of ice. It looks really well in our space.

Awesome Fridge and looks great! Very impressed with Bosch dishwasher and went with this when we decided to switch out appliances.

I absolutely love this refrigerator/freezer. Good quality and Best But even price matched this item from another store. I would highly recommend Bosch appliances.

This is the greatest !! Room for another that comes in the house. Woulld tell everybody to get this. Love!!!

This fridge is amazing! It looks great, works amazingly well and is wifi connected. The wifi connection is clutch, I have a young children who accidentally keeps the doors open, the fridge notifies me after 30 seconds. Ice bin notifications are clutch in addition to an ice well for excess ice is very nice as well. A work of art in my kitchen, im so glad I made the most important appliance of my home the best appliance in my home.

We didn't like that it only came in stainless steel. All of our kitchen appliances are black. Solution: we bought vinyl wrap like they use on cars and wrapped the doors. Voila! It matches the kitchen now!

Just as pictured. Lots of storage space in both the fridge and freezer and it’s so quiet. I agree with some of the other reviewers that it could use a little more light and that the door alarm could be a little louder but neither of those things really bother me. I’m very happy with it and would recommend it highly.

the refrigerator is nice and spacious but it is pretty noisy

Not happy with this. The shelves are not designed for practical use. Larger bottles don't fit. I've never been able to connect it to my internet, the installer tried also and was unable. The water dispenser is small and short. Water comes out so fast and hard, more often than not it splashed out of the glass. It has a high pitched hum which seems to be coming from the ice maker. The tech was here repairing other appliances and when I asked what it was, the response was, "get used to it". The ice dispenser has water run out before the ice, tech said it's normal. Normal for this is poor design and quality.

Overall it’s a very nice refrigerator. I wish I realized that the over flow ice doesn’t automatically drop into the bin in the freezer. Making 12 lbs of ice a day, but having to pull the drawer out and dump it into freezer bin seems crazy. Also, it’s not as finger print resistant as I thought it would be. Better than my old refrigerator but it still gets some finger prints. The ice maker is leaking a tiny bit of water into a door tray into the fridge door. Nothing over the top, just wondering if it will get worse. We’ve had the fridge less than a month. But lots of room. Love the freezer space. Water and ice maker in door works great.

I LOVE my new 500 Series Bosch-refrigerator! Everything about it---the design, the ease of use, the style, the space, and the quality of the product---are exceptional! I wondered if the freezer drawer would be too deep and hard to reach the frozen items, but because there is an inner drawer on top of the larger drawer, all the items are very accessible. It was the best overall refrigerator in USA Today's reviews, and they found it kept the best overall temperature of the brands they reviewed. I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend the Bosch refrigerator!

I never thought I'd be writing a review of a refrigerator, but here we are. This thing is freakin awesome. We replaced a 9 year old 28cu. ft. French door LG with this one and couldn't be happier. Yes, it says that it has less cu. ft. for storage inside but I swear we can fit more food in this one. There are many things to like bout this model (and Bosch in general), but I'm going to highlight what really stands out to me: Running volume - this thing is quiet. Like, extremely quiet by comparison to every fridge I've ever owned. Ice density - the cubes that it produces are more bean shaped than your standard hard-edge crescent and they are DENSE. I fill up a Yeti cup with water on my way out the door each morning and the ice lasts until the end of the day through multiple refills while at work. Ice production speed - we have yet to run out of ice from the dispenser whereas the LG would run out regularly. Water spout - this seems trivial, but it matters. The water dispenser is designed for the water to come out at an angle pointing away from you, thus reducing the amount of water that splashes on you when it gets towards the top. Small detail that goes a long way. Lighting - not only is the lighting bright (but not too bright) it lights up where you need it to but doesn't feel like you've opened up a time-traveling portal when you open the fridge door at night. They also have this really cool fade-to-dark thing they do that is an elegant touch. Smart features - I personally think a "smart fridge" is stupid and over-kill, but Bosch pulls it off in a really subtle and useful way. They have this deep freeze feature where you can essentially tell the fridge from the phone app that you're on the way home from the store and it will get itself REALLY REALLY cold so that when you're loading your groceries in you're not risking all of your food warming to room temperature while you've got it wide open. French doors - the door on the left opens almost effortlessly (takes very little pull to get it to release the air lock and open) which is nice. Its also not necessary to open the left door for the right door to close all the way. The flap has a track that it follows when you close the right side door that guides it into place for the air lock without the need to open the left door. Temperature consistency - probably the most important feature of any fridge. This thing is ridiculously consistent. I've tested both the fridge and freezer and with a fridge thermometer and they are both reliably accurate at all times under almost every usage scenario.

Pretty happy with this fridge. Have had it since February. Looks great, it is quiet, and stores a lot of goodies. The only downside I know of is that the right side door, the one with the little flap, doesnt close as easy as the left door. I would put this more on the side of laziness though. Most folks want to just give it a little push and let the momentum carry it shut, but this one gets almost there and the little flap on the door gives just enough larching resistance to keep it from fully closing. Like I said, more of a laziness issue on our part. BUT, on the plus side, the app (if you connect to it, which I have) will send you an alert if the door is open. All in all, pretty happy.

This Bosch refrigerator is a dream come true! It was time for me to get a new refrigerator and after much consideration, I am so happy to have chosen this brand. The water and ice dispenser works beautifully and it has made me drink more water than what I used to drink. It is a huge plus for my health! The position of the water filter is placed with thoughtfulness; totally accessible on the upper right inside corner. Having the spacious freezer on the bottom gives ample view of stored items, and at the same time, it allows for greater space above.The diffused light inside adds to the beauty of the entire refrigerator. The ample shelves inside and on the doors are also brilliantly thought out. I most definitely will keep upgrading my kitchen with the Bosch brand. I am extremely satisfied with it. It is a beauty!

Bosch is excellent One of the best refrigerators at least it’s high end and the reviews are wonderful. I’m low maintenance and if you did have to purchase something it’s not gonna be really expensive we did our homework and we really really try to find the best product out there and it was either between the GE profile café this was about four grand or this model.Bosh 500 $2699.00 Plus tax I like the 800 series but it’s too small for us. It’s only time buying an appliance just do the reviews and just do the pros and cons and buying from takes a headache and everything and if you buy warranty, the geek squad warranty, you’re covered no matter what happens.

Simply put, Bosch is one of the best products out there for the money. We owned a Bosch dishwasher for years and was well worth the money. This purchase was for a “damaged unit” so around 45% off normal price. We know the damage isn’t visible so we were fine with the damage/savings. The refrigerator itself is is dynamite. Great quality, super quiet. All the features you expect and we could not be happier. In our new house we are looking forward to replacing our dishwasher with a Bosch as soon as we can. Bosch quality is worth the investment

So far this fridge has been great. Our strawberries really do stay good for longer it seems! The door does need to be intentionally shut as it is so light that it doesn't swing close like our last fridge. It's a beautiful fridge and so far we really like it!
