Manual of product KIC38A40
Editorial note
The Bosch KIC38A40 refrigerator stands out for its integrated design and reversible doors, offering both installation flexibility and modern aesthetics. Its interior LED lighting provides clear visibility of food, making it easier to organize the storage space. Additionally, it ensures quiet operation with a noise level of only 36 dB, which is a considerable advantage for use in quiet environments. In terms of performance, this model offers an efficient freezing capacity of 3 kg/24h and a backup time of 18 hours in case of a power outage, thus ensuring good food preservation. However, it has some notable drawbacks. The lack of an anti-frost system can lead to ice buildup in the freezer, requiring regular manual defrosting. Moreover, the refrigerator's capacity of 138 L may prove insufficient for large families, which could limit its appeal to some users. In terms of energy efficiency, the A class is acceptable but could be seen as less advantageous compared to newer models. Finally, access to the ice compartment located at the top may not be convenient, especially in small spaces. In summary, the Bosch KIC38A40 is a refrigerator that combines modern design and functionality, but could be improved in terms of capacity and energy efficiency to meet the needs of a wider range of consumers.Score details
