Customer Review

Bought the refrigerator due to the numerous positive reviews, plus the argument of 0 ° zone that lacked the winner of Warentest, on top of that also a more favorable price.

Unfortunately, it takes Bauknecht very closely with neither advertising nor with the quality assurance. First directly jumped a scratch inside the eye directly into the door frame, moreover, on an equal footing. Definitely no shipping damage, since the whole fridge was well secured and the damage was present in the interior. One would really think that any quality controller comes first in the eye, literally ... Well, that was regulated generously by Amazon Customer fortunately.

The freshness technology is a real asset, finally also a salad fresh food to the end, even with peppers and tomatoes no problems, so things that otherwise do not belong in the refrigerator, especially in fruits and vegetables.

Unfortunately, this enthusiasm ended with the purchase of two refrigerator thermometer. Recommended, also from Amazon customers: TFA Dorst man digital and analog Küchenprofi. Both seem very reliable and agree quite well even at room temperature.

Since I can no longer speak of a 0 ° zone, the zone is rarely much colder than the rest of the refrigerator. On top of that there are huge variations in temperature, and most of the crisper is significantly cooler than the so-called 0 ° zone. First I pushed the on the hot summer temperatures, it has also so far in December not changed. Thus, even the touted in advertising switch which simply lacks in this model is unnecessary. The also have other already complained before me, and I think that advertising is here simply misleading, as this flag is present only in the top model.

Generally, the refrigerator several degrees is several degrees above the set temperature, with significant fluctuations, the freezer for less. Both thermometers come here to the same values. The 0 ° zone does not exist for me. Nevertheless ProFresh makes very paid, but I'm beginning to wonder if I should not sign guarantee or customer service needs to contact. Obviously I've had bad luck with this device from the beginning.

Addendum of 04/21/2014:

Measurements near the refrigerator rear wall give slightly better values ​​that are closer to the temperature settings. OK, maybe I would be more likely to come out without the full-bodied advertising promises that the ventilation produces uniform temperatures throughout the cabinet and at all levels. What definitely is wrong also.

Bottom line, the company Bauknecht should ask if a little less tam-tam and a little more consumer information would be helpful to sell solid goods.

Addendum of 05/29/2015

This refrigerator has really only two issues: quality assurance and the extremely aggressive marketing agency of Bauknecht. I have decided on the suggestion of reader commentary to here to access warranty information and has not looked back since.

Here I was able to discover some surprises: the temperature appears stable overall, the air circulation system jumps much less frequently, and at a setting of 3 ° C I get good climates of 5-7 ° C above to 1 ° C in the upper drawer (which expressly do not Fresh zone is!). Ideal, but is 3 ° C already the second lowest setting and I would consider even know if the upper zones at all are cold enough even at higher settings!

The next surprise: Stiftung Warentest good, 1.9 and fourth place of the standings. Oops, I've even bought the test out of curiosity, and lo and behold - the fridge never had a fresh zone (!) - Except in the original Bauknecht advertising. I am also glad that this feature has since disappeared here from the product information.

Sorry, no surprise: delivered on the refrigerator a huge sticker with a quote about alleged Warentest excellent cooling properties. When future reference that comes anywhere before! So here again the ratings: cooling (20%): Good (1.7) Cooling: Good (1.6-2.5) keeping the temperature during storage: Good (1.6-2.5) freezing (20 %): Good (1.6) Freeze: Very Good (0.5-1.5) keeping the temperature during storage: Good (1.6-2.5) Warm-up time in the event of a fault: Good (1.6-2, 5) Handling (25%): satisfactory (2.8) Instructions: Satisfactory (2.6-3.5) granting and storing in the refrigerator / freezer: Very Good (0.5-1.5) / Good (1 , 6 to 2.5) Setting the temperature: Very Good (0.5-1.5) indications and warnings: Poor (4,6-5,5) Cleaning: Good (1.6-2.5) power consumption (30 %): Very good (1.5) Noise and vibration (5%): Very good (1.5) Source: Testsieger.de

By sharing mode of forwarding, I was forced to consume stored food once. Unfortunately, I can also recommend to everyone urgently wants to make a valid warranty. Unfortunately, my forwarding was capable only after several attempts, ever to make an exchange in one day. And even without a fixed deadline. Otherwise, it may happen that only times only the refrigerator will be picked up and the replacement still needs daily. However, this has also led to a positive surprise: the isolation of the refrigerator is extremely good! With a few liters of ice (5-8 L), it is readily possible to use more than 24 or longer than the refrigerator compartment coolbox. You have to watch this even, that it does not slip below 0 ° C.

Bottom line, a good fridge for good money. Outstanding even when power consumption, volume and Biofresh. Then there is the largest freezing part in this price range. No more, no less.
