Advantages: functional - just

Disadvantages: poor quality

We live in a village and have 2 children, so figured it was best to have a spare fridge and freezer in the garage full of food to reduce the number of car journeys to stock up (plus mum was buying!). Although there is a small village shop, the nearest supermarket is over 2 miles away. We found the Beko fridge and freezer in a local superstore, and decided they seemed the best priced offering the best space. What we failed to understand until too late was that this make was also offering the worst quality. The first time they delivered to us we were given 2 freezers instead of a fridge and a freezer. One was sent back. The next time, they did bring a fridge. I asked the delivery men to unwrap it for me. As they did so, the door fell off! The men joked “nobody told you this was a good make did they?”. I should have twigged then, but no. We did eventually receive our fridge - in one piece - which is the better of the two items.

The freezer door doesn’t always close properly so the contents start to defrost, but the red light doesn’t come on even though the meat is going soft. The drawers are stiff to operate, made worse by the fact that the freezer is not frost free (big mistake there) so the frost builds up and affects how well the drawers will slide. The fridge and freezer don’t feel like they are properly made and I have no faith in them lasting any length of time, I think they will just about make it through the warranty period and then give up the ghost. I cannot recommend this make at all.
