Advantages: Cheap. Cheerful. Matches my Bosch stuff. Disadvantages: Flimsy crisper drawer. Too easy to alter the thermostat
...“big” Curry’s stores revealed a Beko Larder fridge at £139 – of course finding one in stock was the trick, hence the need to visit 3 sites! Yes, why is that?
As luck would have it, this particular fridge comes in white or dark metallic grey, the latter of which is an almost perfect match for our Bosch Washing Machine and Dish Washers. So I bought one, and paid the extra £15 to have the old one disposed of thoughtfully, along with all the new packaging. ... ...– yes you did read that right! After leaving it to stand for a few hours, in case it hadn’t been stored vertically, we turned it on and got it up, or rather down, to temperature. First impressions were favourable, and to a certain extent, bearing in mind the price, still are, with a couple of reservations.
WHAT’S GOOD
It is agreeably quiet
It fits perfectly where the old one stood (this is not the one in the Ciao picture - mine's a LS 420 model)

But who cares what a fridge looks like? I’m more interested about what’s in it – the equipment that is, not the food. Honest! ... ...a quiet room with the Beko – like I am now – and you’ll be pleased that it is a silent fridge. Either that or it’s just broken down. Hang on… No it’s still working. Apart from the little hum it’s very serene and relaxed.
I am no expert of fridge’s. To me they just keep food cold and I can’t tell whether the price we paid for it is good or not. However, apparently £200 is very good for a fridge ...

...of which is the new BEKO range. I purchased the BEKO larder fridge. I was not only very impressed with the price, but it compared much better in design than some of the top name brands. I also bought the matching freezer and they really look stunningly smart in my new kitchen. The manufacturer has really taken time to study the curved styled image.

Advantages: look ok from the outside Disadvantages: badly designed
I bought a Beko Larder fridge in May of this year because it was the cheapest one on offer.This fridge is no good at all.The thermostat is positioned next to the shelf so if you nudge it with anything on the shelf it turns up and freezes all your food.I have had to throw quite a lot of my food away due to frost bite and now have had to tape the thermostat into positon.
Beko customer services were rude and very unhelpful and wouldnt even listen to ...
