According to our fridge expert
When you're in the supermarket, you can set the humidity in the crisper drawer of the Siemens KI86SHD40 a little higher. That's because you can operate the refrigerator with your smartphone, from anywhere you want, by using the Home Connect App. When you get home with your freshly bought fruit and vegetables, the temperature and humidity in the drawer is just right, so that these foods stay fresh longer. In the rest of the cooling compartment food stays nice and cool, thanks to air circulation. That'll ensure that the cold air reaches every corner of the fridge, making sure that even that tub of butter at the top of the fridge stays cold. The freezer compartment is divided over 3 drawers, of which the middle one is extra large. You can store an entire turkey or a large stack of pizzas, for example.

Yep, there he is. A lot can change in two weeks. I have now installed three refrigerators and have personally undergone a transformation from white goods rookie to chef-de-mission white goods. If you are curious about my epic fails, see my reviews of the Samsung BRB260035WW and the Siemens KI87SAF30.
After the disgrace of the day before, I was out for revenge. The night before the order I checked all sizes and not just looked at pictures. This refrigerator had to and would fit, my honor, my pride as breadwinner... is at stake.
The men arrived in blue more than half an hour before the agreed delivery time. Maybe to challenge me? No problem since the previous Siemens was already ready. The men entered with a big smile. Does this fit? the gentlemen asked, laughing, with a handcart in hand. There was only a nod from my side. After a firm handshake, they set off and I was left alone with my third victim.
The manual was surprisingly similar to the treasure map that came with the previous Siemens. With this prior knowledge, the installation process went very smoothly, and the refrigerator was in place in no time. Now for the ultimate moment, the door panels. After some measuring and doodling, the panels were attached. The happy moment was there, the refrigerator door opened smoothly and the freezer door remained closed. Eureka!
After I proudly sent a WhatsApp with photo and video to my wife, Cooblue and the neighbor, I attached the plug to the socket. The bright LED light shone into the fridge. At this point, I saw something I hadn't noticed before, a WiFi logo. As an IT person (you probably hadn't guessed it yet) my heart skipped a beat. After I had made everything free of packaging material and provided the refrigerator with inventory, I came to the configuration. Now wait and see, how much noise does this refrigerator produce? Since I had also tested his brother, I expected a slight simmering sound, but that was not the case. After 10 minutes, double check if there was really cooling. That was the case!
I can honestly say that this is the quietest fridge I've tested (and I've tested some over the past few days ;-)). The layout is fine, although I would have preferred an extra fresh drawer instead of the bottom shelf. The WiFi functionality and the accompanying app were not necessary for me. In the app you can type in what's in your fridge... as if someone is doing that. In addition, you see the current settings of the refrigerator (desired cooling and freezing temperature) but not the current current temperature, missed opportunity Siemens. This model contains a larger freezer than its brother and that is a real plus. During installation it was noticeable that some materials are better finished than the previous Siemens. Extra caps were also included. The cooling is fine, after more than an hour everything started to come up to temperature. I can no longer do without a door alarm and the soft-close doors are a nice extra when there are children around.
All in all, I am very satisfied with this model, unfortunately the layout still cannot match the Samsung, but in the end comfort (noise pollution) takes precedence over layout.
PS. Coolblue, thank you for the great service despite my clumsiness.

The layout is worthless. Especially in the door.

Because the temperature can be set instead of a rotary thermostat and it has an A+++ label, I'll keep it. But the layout can support the door at the bottom of bottles and at the top in 4x objects no higher than 5cm. An average pot is quickly 8 to 10 cm and can't get in between. By removing a container you have a reasonably usable container, but with a low edge, so don't use things that are too unbalanced

Note: without the right type, the right niche dimensions, and right front panel height, the Siemens KI86SHD40 doesn't fit. Check if the opening in your kitchen cabinet, the one where you want to build-in the fridge, has the right niche dimensions and whether the front panel has the right height. Also check if you have the right hinge system. Read what to keep in mind here.
