General Tips
A modern kitchen with Bosch appliances in a historic townhouse in Somerville, MA. Before you even approach a showroom, you should already have a design plan, a budget, and a list of the features you’re looking for, such as energy efficiency or a good warranty.
Design Advice
In this recently remodeled New England kitchen, the homeowner paired a Bosch gas cooktop with a Bosch wall oven. Get the whole look in A Japanese-Inflected Kitchen with Bosch Home Appliances.
But if your space is limited, the good news is that today’s compact appliances work harder than ever—manufacturers like Bosch have figured out how to pack lots of capacity into small interiors, without sacrificing on features or aesthetics.
Look for a fridge with an Energy Star label, which means that it meets or exceeds EPA energy-efficiency specifications. Besides size, the main choice when it comes to your fridge will be: top-mounted freezer, bottom freezer, or French doors (with the freezer on one side).
Refrigerators
Dishwashers
The door of this panel-ready Bosch Dishwasher has been fitted with white laminate that matches the fronts of the adjoining cabinets.
The position of the controls is another variable: In some models they’re located on the front of the door, in others they’re on top of the door—so they’re hidden when the door is closed, for a sleek look.
Where’s the refrigerator? Panel-ready refrigerators and dishwashers are a great way to coordinate and customize your kitchen. When you order a panel-ready model, it comes with an unfinished front to be covered with a separate panel.
