Bosch 346l Freestanding Larder Fridge - Inox vs Series 2 Undercounter Fridge With IceBox — Comparison

The Bosch KSV36VLEP 346L Freestanding Larder Fridge in inox is the full-height premium-capacity option here at £699, designed as a main fresh-food fridge. The Bosch KTL15NWECG Series 2 Undercounter Fridge with IceBox costs £299 and sits in Bosch’s compact Series 2 tier, giving smaller households under-counter storage with a built-in icebox.

KSV36VLEP measures H:1860mm x W:600mm x D:650mm and provides 346L of larder capacity, plus SuperCooling, a reversible door and a VitaFresh compartment. KTL15NWECG has 120L total capacity, including a 14L icebox, and lists a C-rated 39dB noise level plus two egg trays. Both models carry an E energy rating, but the KSV36VLEP focuses on fresh-food volume while the KTL15NWECG adds small frozen storage.

The KSV36VLEP suits families, keen cooks and anyone with a separate freezer who wants a tall inox fridge with better fresh-food organisation and rapid chilling. Its £699 price is easier to justify if it will be the main kitchen fridge. The KTL15NWECG is better for small flats, offices or secondary spaces where under-counter dimensions and the 14L icebox are more useful than 346L capacity. In practical terms, think about the appliance’s job before comparing finishes: a tall larder model is usually the main fresh-food hub, while an undercounter, tabletop or specialist cooler works best as targeted extra storage. That context matters because a shared brand, model family or energy label can still hide big differences in usable shelf space, access, installation and how frequently the fridge will be filled. It is also worth checking door swing and available height.

Bottom line: choose KSV36VLEP if you want a 346L Bosch larder fridge with SuperCooling, VitaFresh and reversible-door flexibility / opt for KTL15NWECG if you need a £299 Series 2 undercounter fridge with a 14L icebox.
