Why Trust Us?

Bosch is one of the most trusted brands in kitchens across the nation. Bosch produces machines of innovation, with the company leading the charge in affordable and efficient home appliances. As technology has advanced and machines began taking over households, Bosch appliances rose to the occasion. The brand has been in high demand since the first Bosch fridge in 1933. Today Bosch continues their reputation of excellence with these kitchen appliances.

Bosch Refrigeration Technology

Refrigeration was the first home appliance tackled by the brand. Bosch refrigerators were the first to feature Vita Fresh, a proprietary vegetable crisper drawer design that revolutionized food preservation. Bosch has continued to advance refrigeration technology by eliminating harmful gases traditionally used for cooling before the Federal government required it.

There are also many Bosch refrigerators with simpler and more stream-lined designs. Finding the best fridge for your household is easy with their various models. On average, Bosch refrigerators cost between $3100 and $3700, while the most expensive Bosch fridge costs around $4800.

Today there are many Bosch refrigerators that stand out, but this Bosch French door refrigerator Series 800 stainless steel with bottom freezer has all of the features anyone could ask for.

These features are also available on other refrigeration products from Bosch:

  • Farm Fresh System: This proprietary Bosch refrigeration technology uses four different technologies to keep your food fresh longer. The Farm Fresh System gives you that control so that you can keep food fresh long after you bring it home.
  • Vita Fresh Pro: This is an upgrade from the original Vita Fresh tech released by Bosch in the late ‘80s. It balances both temperature and humidity.
  • Home Connect: Bosch offers appliances with this smart feature across all categories, including this fridge. You can monitor and adjust the temperature of the refrigerator from anywhere using your smartphone.

Verified buyer review from Denise: “…by far the best fridge I have owned.”

Bosch Cooktops for Kitchens

Cooktops are for kitchens that have cabinetry or counters in place and a cooktop is to be lowered into the opening. There are three different types of Bosch cooktops: electric, gas, and induction. Induction cooktops use magnetic induction rather than electric or gas burners. Induction heats food faster and keeps the cook safer with fast, focused heating while keeping the rest of the cooktop cool.

Bosch cooktops vary in price range depending on the type you choose. Bosch induction cooktops run between $1850 and $2800 depending on features. Electric and gas cooktops range between $950 and $1500, with a few higher-end Bosch gas cooktops costing between $1700 and $1900.

One of the best cooktops is this Bosch 800 Series 36” black induction cooktop. In addition to the Home Connect technology included in all Bosch 800 Series appliances, the induction cooktop has these features.

  • Auto Chef: This frying feature continuously regulates the temperature so that you can cook food thoroughly without over frying.
  • Speed Boost: A Bosch cooktop was one of the first to offer this power boosting feature. With Speed Boost, your cooktop can boil water in seconds.
  • Ceramic glass construction: Ceramic glass is a better conductor, is more durable, and is a slimmer piece of glass than traditional cooktops.

Since this appliance is a cooking surface only, it is also a great opportunity to choose high-efficiency ovens. The Bosch 500 Series Electric Built In Double Oven is easily installed as part of your kitchen remodel and pairs well with stainless steel cooktops from Bosch.

Bosch Microwaves for Counters and Over-Range Installation

Microwaves are a vital part of any kitchen. That’s why Bosch has been producing microwave ovens since 1973. Even if you try not to cook meals in the microwave, there is no doubt that this is a handy appliance to have.

Bosch microwaves are manufactured to be built-in, installed over the range, or placed on a counter. Bosch offers countertop microwaves in various sizes, while over-the-range and built-in microwaves featuring larger capacities and ENERGY STAR rated efficiency. Over-the-range microwaves also feature multi-speed fans to whisk away odors, smoke, and steam.

There are many different types of Bosch microwaves with a wide range of price points. Microwave drawers and built-in convection microwave ovens are the most expensive at $1400 to $1900. The popular over-the-range microwaves cost between $500 to $900. Bosch countertop microwaves are available for $150 to $400, with high-end convection models reaching near $700.

One of the best over-the-range microwaves is this Bosch 300 Series microwave oven. It has reheating presets based on serving size for quick lunches and meals on the go. It is designed to work with Bosch slide-in ranges, but could be installed over some cooktops as well.

Bosch Ranges

No matter how you prefer to cook — gas, electric, induction, or dual fuel — Bosch has the perfect slide-in range for your kitchen. All of the ranges from Bosch are designed for heavy daily use, with a combination of touch controls and heavy-duty metal knobs that will stand up to abuse.

Bosch ranges vary in price depending on type and features. Gas ranges like these cost between $2500 and $4400, while their electric counterparts cost around $2500. Dual fuel ranges are available in standard and industrial models running from $2900 to $5600. Induction ranges cost about $3700–$3900.

Make sure you pair your Bosch range with a Bosch range hood or over-the-range microwave with fan to control steam, smoke, and odors.

One of the best stoves is the Bosch Series 800 gas slide-In range.

Features found in many Bosch ovens such as this model include:

  • Convection Ovens: Bosch gas, electric, and induction ranges have a convection oven for even cooking. The 800 Series range also has temperature conversion from standard oven to convection.
  • Preset Specialized Cooking Modes: Take the guesswork out of gourmet cooking and make it easy to follow new, complex recipes with these programmed cooking modes.
  • Easy Monitoring of Ovens: Bosch makes it easy to keep an eye on your baked goods or roasting meat with large viewing windows and effective oven lights.

The Bosch 800 Series gas range in particular features 5 burners, including one center burner that can be used with a griddle or larger pans.

Bosch Dishwashers – Leaders in Dishwashing Automation

Like other home appliances, Bosch got into the dishwasher game early in the ‘60s. After producing one of the best dishwashers of the time, Bosch has continued to improve their machines for efficiency. Some of the outstanding benefits of Bosch dishwashers include saving water and energy to benefit the environment and your wallet.

They offer a wide range of dishwashers for different budgets, with popular models ranging from $950 to $1100. Higher-end dishwashers from Bosch cost about $1200 to $1300.

One of the best dishwashers offered by Bosch is this Bosch 300 Series built-In dishwasher.

It has some incredible features that are present in most models from the brand, like:

  • AquaStop Leak Protection: This proprietary feature ensures that your dishwasher never leaks, no matter what.
  • RackMatic: This feature allows you to wash all of your top-rack items regardless of size and shape. The top rack has three different height adjustments and up to nine possible rack positions.
  • InfoLight: This handy feature lets you know your nearly silent dishwasher is running by casting a glow across the floor in front of the dishwasher.
