New Bosch Laundry on the Way

Coming later this summer – frontloading laundry from Bosch, steam, stackable, going after LG and Electrolux’ nut. Let the battle begin! As soon as I have pics and more info, will share.

Bosch Linea Refrigeration – B22CS80SNS – B25FT70SNS

Hello friends…

The posts on Bosch refrigerators have garnered a healthy response so I wanted to share some more info for you. 

Bosch Integra Refrigerator Columns – ByeBye

We’ve beaten this one to death but I thought it should be repeated.
The only remaining refrigerators in the Integra line will be a Stainless french door model, one coming with a frame, one without.  These are cabinet depth.

Bosch Linea Refrigerators

The Linea line of Bosch refrigerators started gaining some buzz back last summer and right now it looks like they are about to roll onto dealer showroom floors.

Here’s a peek:

The Linea model is a counter depth, side by side model with dispenser on the outside. Model number is B22CS80SNS

The Magna model is a 25 cu ft standard depth, French-door refrigerator.
Model number is B25FT70SNS

Bosch Integra Refrigeration – Update

Here is the latest on the Bosch Integra refrigeration, updated after a phone call with a rep from their appliance division.

– Bosch Integra refrigeration columns are discontinued. Gone. Finished. Kaput. Aint comin’ back. SEE YA!!!!!

– However, Bosch will still produce 2 variations of Integra fridges. They are both French door models, stainless, and will be available with and without a frame. The frame point is the difference btw the models.

The frame will allow you to use the refrigerator in a built-in style (flush), akin to a SubZero. If you don’t buy the frame, then it’s a counter-depth unit.

THEY ARE NOT MAKING FREESTANDING MODELS UNDER THE INTEGRA LINE.

As of 4.09.09, Bosch’s web site has not been updated with this information. They are still showing columns as well as a bottom freezer Integra refrigerator unit.

Thermador Freedom, Bosch Intgera Refrigeration Columns Meet PACS

Yo, new changes to Thermador Freedom and Bosch Integra built-in refrigeration models:

It’s called PACS…

PACS is the next step for Bosch and Thermador Built In Refrigeration that takes the most innovative refrigeration to the next level.

Finally: Pre-Assembled. One Box. One SKU. Framed.

Yay.

Installing these was a major pain. Glad they listened to irate consumers and dealers and learned.

And don’t forget:

• Door Swings are fixed for PACS Columns
  Please note that the door swings for PACS Columns are set up to work with standard side–by–side installations for freezers (left) and refrigerators (right). The door swing cannot be reversed, due to non–symmetrical panel dimensions that are required by the installation frame. Please remember that PACS is designed to be an out of the box solution for the majority of common installations.

“Most” Bosch Integra Refrigerators – RIP

Bosch has pulled the plug on their Integra refrigeration line…with the exception of one model (see next paragraph). These were the modular units that came as columns. Bosch is also discontinuing the 36″ bottom-mount 2-door refrigeration unit. The panel-ready French Door version will also be killed off.

However Bosch will continue to produce French Door Integra units in stainless model number B36IT71SNS.
