Bosch freestanding Low Frost fridge freezers come in two series: the larger Series 6 and the more compact Series 4. Both have a fridge that defrosts itself and a Low Frost freezer. Low Frost reduces how much ice forms, so the freezer still needs defrosting by hand now and then, but less often. That suits households who want lower upkeep without moving to a fully frost-free design. Each series comes in white or a stainless steel look finish.

The main choice is size. The 70 cm wide Series 6 models have 302 litres of fridge space and a 70/30 split, with between 111 and 117 litres of freezer space depending on the finish. They have an energy rating of C and a noise level of 38 dB, and the stainless-look version has touch controls. Series 4 models are smaller, with 193 litres of fridge space, 94 litres of freezer space and a 60/40 split, which gives you more freezer space relative to the fridge. They are rated E for energy, run at 39 dB and use push button controls.

All of these models are hinged on the right. The white Series 4 has a reversible door, which helps if the fridge freezer has to open the other way in your kitchen. Start with how much fresh food you buy each week compared with how much you freeze, then check the hinge side.
