Bora's built-in kitchen appliances bring together two parts of the brand's range: integrated refrigeration and steam ovens. The fridges and freezers sit behind your furniture doors, so they suit a fitted kitchen with an unbroken run of cabinetry. See Bora built-in refrigeration for the cold storage on its own, or the wider Bora cooking range for ovens and hobs.
For refrigeration, the main choice is layout. The frost free fridge freezers have a 70/30 split, with a 175 litre fridge, or 205 litres on the Combi XL, above a freezer of around 70 litres. If you need little frozen space, a fridge with a 4-star ice box gives 250 litres of fridge, though the ice box needs defrosting by hand. The 296 litre larder fridge has no freezer and pairs with the 213 litre frost free upright freezer. Some models need a water connection, so check your plumbing first. BORA Fresh zero, listed on some models, is a zone kept close to 0°C with humidity control to help fresh food last longer. Hinge types differ, which matters when fitting the furniture door.
The two steam ovens take different approaches. The steam combi oven has a 64 litre cavity, a removable water tank that needs no plumbing, touch and swipe controls and guided steam cleaning, with an optional BORA Stick probe. The XBO is plumbed in, adds a grill and a four-point food thermometer, and is run from a foldable 19-inch touch display. Its BORA Smart Open door opens automatically after drawing steam out of the oven, so it doesn't billow onto you or the cabinet fronts.
To narrow things down, decide between a fridge freezer, a fridge with ice box or a larder and freezer pair, and whether you can run a water supply. For steam cooking, it comes down to a refillable tank or a plumbed-in oven with a grill. Planning the hob too? Look at Bora hood & cooktop sets or Bora cooker hoods.
