Bosch lists the B36CL81ENG as an 800 Series counter-depth French door with glass doors – a tempered glass outer panel rather than a steel skin. Glass fronts look superb and they change one practical thing completely: a knock that would dent a steel door can chip or crack glass instead, and a cracked refrigerator door panel is a replacement rather than a repair. They are also noticeably heavier, which loads the hinges harder over time.
