Manual of product KGN397WCT
Editorial note
The Bosch KGN397WCT refrigerator stands out for several advantages that make it an interesting choice for families. With a total net capacity of 363 L, it offers generous space for storing food and beverages. The No Frost system, present in both the refrigerator and the freezer, prevents frost buildup, making maintenance easier and ensuring better food preservation. Additionally, the tempered glass shelves are adjustable, adding a modern touch while allowing for flexible organization of products. However, this model also has notable drawbacks. Its energy efficiency class C could be improved, especially compared to newer models that display superior performance. The lack of a multi-airflow system may affect air circulation and the uniform preservation of food. Furthermore, the manual defrosting of the freezer can be cumbersome for some users. The absence of a failure alarm also raises safety concerns, as it does not alert users to potential issues with the appliance. Regarding user experience, it is generally positive thanks to well-thought-out features, although the autonomy in case of a power outage is limited to 15 hours, which may not be sufficient for some. The modern design and satisfactory performance meet daily needs, but the value for money could be improved, as other models offer better energy performance for a similar price. In summary, the Bosch KGN397WCT is a refrigerator with a good value for money, but it could benefit from improvements in certain aspects, particularly energy efficiency and safety.Score details
