Our Verdict

Hisense HRM260N6TSE

Bosch 500 Series B36FD52SNS

The Bosch 500 Series B36FD52SNS is a better fridge than the Hisense HRM260N6TSE. Despite the Hisense's dual evaporators versus the Bosch's single evaporator, the Bosch still offers better produce preservation performance than the Hisense due to its excellent produce bin seal. The Bosch also has a higher capacity in the fridge, but the same capacity in the freezer. Additionally, the Bosch produces and stores more ice than the Hisense. However, the Hisense does have better temperature uniformity in the fridge than the Bosch, despite its warm door bins.
