PROS: First, Id' like to start out by saying, we were very happy with our ten year old Bosch side by side but one day the freezer door was left slightly ajar for about a day and a half before the alarm went off, which ultimately ruined the coolant system by creating a leak. We've had the new Bosch for about a month now. Visually, it is even nicer than our old refrigerator. The fingerprint resistant stainless steel actually works. The unit is very quiet, much quieter than our old Bosch. Even the ice maker is fairly quiet and it makes ice fast, just as Bosch promises. I like the French door as the refrigerator portion provides much more storage space than our old side by side. Also, the hidden control panel is nice. The water and ice dispenser works nicely and is very well thought out. I like the bottle fill feature too. The valve that turns on and off the water supply is very quiet, unlike our old Bosch, which is especially nice at night when the unit is making ice. Also, I wasn't sure about the textured finish sides since our old one was just painted gray to match the stainless but it is quite attractive and blends in nicely.
CONS: The deli drawer is all the way across the entire bottom of the refrigerator, which means you have to open both doors to open this tray. An improvement would be to make this two separate drawers or just have one half size drawer that's a little taller. The freezer could use more organization bins. There is just one large, deep bottom drawer with a sloppy sliding divider that stuff just gets covered up and lost in this cavernous drawer. This bottom drawer could have two dividers that firmly ratchets into place or three removable plastic inserts. The upper freezer drawer is fairly shallow, which is just okay. None of these are deal breakers, especially compared to the competition.
Overall this is a very well made, feature-rich, quality refrigerator and worth the extra money.
