Comparison Bosch KIS 87AFE0 vs Bosch KIS 87AF30

The amount of shelves in a refrigerator determines the division of space within the refrigeration compartment. Larger refrigeration compartments generally have more shelves, but there are also various configurations available even within the same volume (3 shelves, 4 shelves, 5 shelves and more). It is worth considering that they are mostly removable, which allows you to adjust the height of the shelf. And if necessary, you can buy more.

In refrigerators with dynamic air cooling, the air inside the working compartment moves not due to the temperature difference, but due to the operation of the built-in fan. This ensures uniform distribution of cold air and the same temperature throughout the volume.

The lowest temperature provided by a refrigerator freezer.

The lower the freezer temperature indicator, the more advanced the freezer is considered to be, and the better it is suited for long-term food storage with wider capabilities. It's important to note that the standard operating temperature for a fully functional freezer is -18 °C, which is suitable for both storing and freezing pre-frozen foods. Some refrigerators are designed with a temperature indicator of -24 °C, but this is mainly achieved through the quick freezing mode (see "Functions"), and the standard operating temperature is still -18 °C. However, if you plan to freeze food frequently and store it for extended periods, it's better to choose a model with a temperature of -24 °C and consider the freezing power as well.

Less expensive refrigerators have a less advanced freezer with a modest minimum temperature of -12°C or even -6°C, which is only suitable for storing pre-frozen foods, not for freezing fresh food. Although they are much more affordable.

To indicate the temperature of the freezer, markings in the form of asterisks (snowflakes) are often used, each of which means a decrease in temperature by 6 °C. For example, the mentioned -18 °C will correspond to 3 asterisks (***).

— Door sliding — a special type of mount for a built-in refrigerator, in which the decorative facade rests on the hinges of the cabinet, and the refrigerator door itself is only partially loaded. The sliding fastening of a built-in refrigerator's facade allows the door of the fridge to slide along the guides on the inside of the decorative panel, reducing the load on the hinges and increasing the appliance's durability. However, this can create a gap where dust can accumulate, and the door can only open up to 90-95˚, which may cause inconvenience when accessing shelves and drawers.

— Door on door — a special type of fastening of a built-in refrigerator, in which the front decorative facade is hung directly on the refrigerator door. With this type of installation, the front decorative panel of the refrigerator is fixed directly onto the door hinges. The main advantage of this rigid attachment method is that the refrigerator door can be opened wider, up to 110-115˚ or even more. Furthermore, there is no gap between the door of the refrigerator and the decorative panel, which creates a sense of structural integrity. However, one drawback of this method is that it can create additional weight load on the refrigerator door hinges, leading to sagging if they are not designed to bear the weight of the panel.

The "country of manufacture" refers to the location where a refrigerator model is produced. While most manufacturing plants are situated in China, but there are still some in Europe (in Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Turkey, etc.). The country of manufacture may not significantly affect the product's quality, although some people associate European assembly with dependability. Additionally, a model may have a country of manufacture listed, such as Poland, even though the same product is produced in China and sold under the same item number in stores.
