BORA Fridges & Built-In BORA Cool Refrigerators
Explore BORA fridges designed for fully integrated kitchen installations. The BORA Cool range combines a built-in refrigerator with organised fresh-food storage, convection cooling and a furniture-door installation, with a choice of a full refrigerator or a refrigerator with a compact 4-star freezer compartment.
The current range is based around two appliance formats: a 296-litre refrigerator for maximum chilled capacity, and a 276-litre version with a 4-star freezer compartment for households that want a small amount of frozen-food storage without moving to a full fridge freezer. Good, Better and Best configurations change the included storage accessories rather than the basic cooling format.
Choosing the Right BORA Fridge
The main decision is whether you need the maximum possible refrigerator space or occasional frozen-food storage. Both formats are built in behind a kitchen furniture door, so they are intended for planned integrated cabinetry rather than freestanding installation.
| Type | Best for | Total capacity | Freezer compartment | Noise level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BORA Cool refrigerator | Maximum chilled and fresh-food storage | 296 litres | No | 33dB |
| BORA Cool refrigerator with 4-star compartment | Chilled storage plus occasional frozen food | 276 litres | Approx. 27 litres | 34dB |
BORA Fresh zero Explained
BORA Fresh zero is the dedicated fresh-food storage area within BORA Cool refrigerators. It operates close to 0°C and uses humidity-regulated drawers to create more suitable conditions for foods such as fruit, vegetables, meat and dairy products than an ordinary refrigerator shelf.
The drawers sit on pull-out trays and can be removed for loading and cleaning. This is particularly useful if you regularly buy fresh ingredients and want distinct storage areas rather than one large undivided refrigerator compartment.
Good, Better and Best BORA Cool Configurations
Good, Better and Best refer primarily to the equipment and storage accessories supplied with the refrigerator. They should not be treated as three completely different refrigeration systems.
The Good version provides the core refrigerator configuration. Better adds useful organisation accessories, while Best adds the most comprehensive accessory package. When comparing listings, decide first whether you want the refrigerator-only or 4-star freezer-compartment format, then compare the included accessories within that appliance type.
Built-In Size and Installation
BORA Cool refrigerators are built-in appliances measuring approximately 559mm wide, 1770mm high and 546mm deep. They use fixed-door furniture-front mounting, allowing the appliance door to open with the matching kitchen cabinet front.
The door hinge can be changed to suit the kitchen layout, but cabinetry dimensions, ventilation space and furniture-door weight still need to meet BORA's installation requirements. Check the current BORA planning information before cabinetry is manufactured rather than relying only on rounded width and height filters.
Cooling, Noise and Energy Use
The BORA Cool refrigerators currently listed here are energy efficiency class D models. The refrigerator-only versions operate at 33dB, while versions with the 4-star freezer compartment are rated at 34dB.
Convection cooling circulates air through the refrigerator compartment to maintain an even temperature. The integrated BORA Cool odour filter uses activated charcoal to reduce unwanted food odours, while Power Cool can temporarily increase cooling performance after a larger food shop. Eco and Holiday functions provide alternative operating modes when appropriate.
BORA Cool with a 4-Star Freezer Compartment
If you only need a small amount of frozen storage, the BORA Cool refrigerator with 4-star compartment provides approximately 27 litres of freezer space within the refrigerator. It can maintain temperatures suitable for frozen food without requiring a separate full-size freezer section.
This is different from a BORA fridge freezer. BORA Cool Combi models have a substantially larger dedicated freezer section and are the better choice if frozen-food capacity is an important part of everyday storage.
Smart Control and Maintenance
BORA Connect connectivity is integrated into the current BORA Cool range. The refrigerators also provide functions including temperature adjustment, Power Cool, Eco, Holiday, Party and a cleaning mode.
The refrigerator interior is designed with removable shelves, trays and drawers to make routine cleaning easier. The activated-charcoal odour filter is a replaceable maintenance item and should normally be changed in line with BORA's service guidance.
BORA Fridge FAQs
Are BORA fridges integrated?
Yes. The BORA Cool fridges currently listed in this category are built-in refrigerators designed for installation behind a kitchen furniture door.
What is the difference between a BORA fridge and a BORA fridge freezer?
BORA Cool models in this category are refrigerators, either without frozen storage or with a small 4-star freezer compartment. BORA Cool Combi appliances have a much larger dedicated freezer section and are sold as fridge freezers.
What is BORA Fresh zero?
BORA Fresh zero is a fresh-food storage area operating close to 0°C. Humidity-regulated drawers provide dedicated conditions for storing different fresh foods rather than treating the whole refrigerator as one storage zone.
What do Good, Better and Best mean on BORA fridges?
They identify different equipment packages. The underlying refrigerator format remains the main buying decision, while Better and Best configurations add extra storage and organisation accessories to the core appliance.
How wide is a BORA Cool fridge?
The appliance body is approximately 559mm wide. Because these are integrated appliances, the required cabinet niche is wider than the appliance itself, so cabinetry should always be checked against BORA's current installation instructions.
Can the door opening be reversed?
Yes. BORA specifies a right-hand door hinge that can be changed during installation, allowing the opening direction to be adapted to a suitable kitchen layout.
Do BORA Cool fridges need a water connection?
No water connection is required for the BORA Cool refrigerator or the BORA Cool refrigerator with 4-star freezer compartment. Plumbing becomes relevant on certain other BORA refrigeration products with automatic ice-making functions.
How long is the BORA fridge warranty?
BORA provides a two-year manufacturer's warranty. Eligible appliances can be extended to a total of three years following registration, subject to BORA's current warranty terms.
How often should the BORA Cool odour filter be changed?
BORA states a maximum filter service life of one year. Replacement frequency should follow the appliance's filter reminder and current BORA service guidance.
