Translations:Der erste Kühlschrank von Bosch – eine runde Sache/2/en

The round design offered many advantages however. Thanks to the cylindrical shape, the cooling tubes could be positioned around the food to be chilled, allowing even distribution of cooling from all sides. The round shape also meant that the surface was some ten percent smaller in comparison with angular refrigerators. Less cold was therefore radiated and the appliance was consequently more energy efficient. Last but not least, the eye-catching exterior ensured a high level of awareness for Bosch's newcomer. The refrigerator was the entry point for Bosch on the home appliance market. It allowed Bosch to extend its product portfolio and achieve a certain independence from automotive technology.
