It should be a free-standing model, and none of these huge 180cm debris. For our 2-person household is also a smaller more subtle device is sufficient.
A device with freezer I did not want more - that are a) not really fuel efficient and b) all the devices I've looked at, are too loud for a kitchen.
In a closed kitchen that's for sure but the matter usually permanent Gurgling would spoil me then probably some nice evening ....
A device with stainless steel front would also have been OK but the combination 160 cm height, A +++, quietly and without a freezer is probably very rare - I have since not a single device with stainless steel front found. It was really only the Siemens KS29VVW40übrig - (and an identical model of Bosch)
In fact, you get a high-quality processed device. Unlike many cheap refrigerators are also the side panels made of solid material and not get the same dents if you take a short pushes against it.
The surface can be cleaned very well. Fingerprints - in many stainless steel surfaces unfortunately a disease - are not a problem here.
Of particular note, the rear panel, this is largely smooth and without exposed grid and niches in which always accumulates the dirt of years in time.
The LED interior lighting is excellent - no comparison to the old funzeligen lights in moms refrigerator.
All internal pockets are easily accessible and thus, the space in this KS exploit also very good.
The bottle rack offers small beer bottles as well as a secure hold large 1.5 liter bottles
The shelves in the door pockets are all also in height, even if only by one step.
Here also the only flaw I have discovered, the lower compartment by a customary manner opened bottles could be stored well tolerated a higher margin. Milk cartons and large bottles tend a little upset it. The tight fitting door you have already opened accordingly powerfully because wiggle the bottles in the door then already a lot. But not enough for me to point deduction.
Also important - although the door always requires a certain train if you open it, the refrigerator is bombproof. In advance I have since seen other models because the whole refrigerator moved when opening the door.
The fan runs, if at all, only a few minutes and also remains so low that I could not hear him from 4 -5m distance, normal operating noise of the compressor are to be taken already from 3m distance hardly true and these occur only minutes way on ,
2 x 5 star so for suitability in an open kitchen.
My colleague here with the noisy fan has apparently received a defective device.
Delivery by the "specialists of Hermes" although done on time and fast - these true professionals but have made it into an almost 3m wide 5m long corridor all three times to pop the refrigerator before the freshly plastered wall. In addition, have refused to accept the packaging material again. Unfortunately, my wife took the KS counter and be intimidated by the drivel of the two honks. So she has the proper receipt acknowledged, instead of the hero Hermes times to explain the current legal situation and to write the damage to the wall on the delivery ... bad luck, but neither Siemens nor the seller are responsible. The well-packed refrigerator has survived luckily unharmed and met my expectations completely - so there is the full five stars.
