Bosch built-in kitchen appliances cover most of a fitted kitchen. That includes electric single and double ovens, steam combi ovens, built-in microwaves and a bean-to-cup coffee machine, plus integrated dishwashers, fridges, freezers, wine coolers, washing machines and washer dryers. They come from the Bosch Series 2, Series 4, Series 6 and Series 8 lines. Many models connect to the Home Connect app, so you can control and check them from your phone.

In Bosch cooking, the electric single ovens include 71-litre models. Some Series 4 ovens add Hotair Steam, which uses a water bowl to add steam while baking, so bread and pastry come out crisp outside and soft inside. Cleaning is one of the clearest differences. Options include EcoClean Direct, hydrolytic and catalytic systems, and pyrolytic models that burn off grease at high temperature. Double ovens come as built-in models for a tall housing and built-under models that sit beneath the worktop with a smaller main oven. For a second oven, compact 45 cm combination microwaves can grill and bake as well as microwave, and steam combi ovens add steam cooking. Bosch cooker hoods are on a page of their own.

Bosch dishwashers for building in come as 45 cm slimline models holding 10 place settings and 60 cm full-size models holding 13 or 14. Most are fully integrated, and there is a semi-integrated option that leaves the control panel on show. Some 60 cm models have a Vario Hinge, which helps the dishwasher door line up with the kitchen fronts beside it. In Bosch built-in refrigeration, most of the integrated fridge freezers are frost free. Low Frost models slow ice build-up, so you need to defrost less often. You'll also find larder fridges, a built-under fridge with an ice box, tall and built-under freezers, and built-under wine coolers. Bosch built-in washing and drying has integrated washing machines and washer dryers, including 8 kg models with a 1400 rpm spin.

To narrow things down, measure first. Check the width of the dishwasher space, the height of your fridge housing and whether your kitchen doors need a sliding or fixed hinge. Then decide which upgrades are worth it to you, such as steam or pyrolytic cleaning in an oven, or frost free rather than Low Frost in a fridge freezer.
