"Excellent unit. It’s like the krypton factor when you load your goods into it, to see if you can get it done before the door open alarm goes. "
"This Beko American Fridge Freezer is fantastic! It is so much better than the old American style fridge freezer that it replaced. The old one was at least 15 years old and costing a fortune to run, so we thought we would invest in a new one... So glad we did!
Firstly it looks amazing inside and out, the colour of the black steel is a subtle black colour, but it looks great, with a steel effect look to the doors. The doors are slightly higher than the rest of the fridge to account for the hinges, please bear this in mind if you like to store things on top of your fridge freezer as they will need to be moved towards the back. The display on the front of the freezer door is unassuming, it comes on to tell you the temperature inside the fridge and freezer when one of the doors is open, but shortly after the doors are closed it just displays a single line. If either of the doors are left open for too long then an audible alarm sounds to alert you that the temperature is being affected, this quickly switches off when the door is closed.
Secondly, the inside of the fridge has very clean lines, with glass shelves that are easily removed, but do hook into place to stop movement. The shelves are easy to clean with no plastic surround for grime to get caught in. The inside of the fridge is a good size, the shelves hold a large capacity, easily enough for our large family of six - even more when the adult children visit! There is a light strip that runs along nearly the complete length top to bottom of the fridge and freezer to illuminate inside when you open the door. There are colour changing lights to keep the fresh fruit and vegetables fresher for longer - not sure if this really does work yet because I've not had the fridge freezer longer enough, but it really does look nice when you open the door. The fruit and vegetable drawers are on runners with wheels, they open and close so smoothly - no fighting to get the drawer back in when it is full. There is also a water container in the door, this is unassuming and does not take up much room, it is easy to fill with a spout on top of one of the door shelves.
Thirdly, we come to the freezer... The freezer holds a surprising amount, I did not expect it to hold as much as it does. It has glass shelves like in the fridge with two drawers (on runners with wheels like the fridge) at the bottom. I personally thought it would be a disadvantage just having shelves and not all drawers, but actually if you are organised with the way you put your food in the freezer, the freezer holds a lot of stuff. The freezer section is not as wide as on my old freezer, but it still seems to hold just as much... I'm very impressed to be honest. Importantly there is a fast freeze button on the display that boosts the temperature of the freezer in preparation of filling the freezer or putting fresh meat in it, this automatically reverts back to the original temperature after a certain amount of time.
Overall a fantastic American fridge freezer. It is very quiet in use, in fact I've hardly heard it at all. Amazing amount of space inside both the fridge and the freezer, more than enough for a large family. I would definitely highly recommend this Beko product to others."

"Loads of storage bigger than I thought but getting use to it keeps everything fresh "
"Great product- it is really spacious and has a good amount of drawers and shelves. The only downside is it looks black on the website but is actually more of a charcoal colour. "
"Great size, stores a lot of food, I would definitely recommend! "
"Love this American fridge freezer! We had BEKO in our last home and we would never choose another brand now. Lots of space inside. Low graded so cheaper to run. We just love it!"
