Refrigerators "Beko" (Beko): types, user manual, reviews of specialists and buyers

The technique of the Turkish brand "Beko" entered the Russian market in 1997. Since that time, much has changed in the technology of household appliances, which has expanded the range of the manufacturer. At the same time, the quality of products remains the same. It's difficult to say how the level of performance of brand refrigerators corresponds to the leaders of the segment, but maintaining high functionality, manufacturability and affordability allows keeping customers' attention. At the moment, the company has its own conveyors in the Vladimir region, on which the refrigerator "Beko" is also produced. The manufacturer expects to further develop its own potential in Russia by increasing the volume of its products. Of course, this will reduce the cost of organizing production and supply to the market, but the consumer is increasingly concerned about the quality and new capabilities of cooling equipment. In these and other characteristics of Turkish products will help understand the review of the model line and customer reviews.

Models with the top location of the freezer

This group of refrigerators includes such models as DS325000, DS333020 and DS328000 S. The most attractive for the ordinary consumer is the refrigerator "Beko" double chamber in the DSMV528001W series, as it has decent capacity (261 liters), high functionality and reasonable price. By the way, despite the free space in the freezer (51 l) and the main compartment, the developers managed to keep the relatively compact dimensions of the unit - 160 cm in height, 54 cm in width and 60 cm in depth.

This does not mean that the model can be integrated into the kitchen space, like a washing machine or a dishwasher, but in comparison with alternative options, the "Beko" refrigerators in this configuration allow you to save a few extra centimeters. But do not forget about the main difference - the top location of the freezer. Against the background of the desire of manufacturers to produce equipment with the lower location of this department, the traditional scheme is already perceived as a distinctive feature. In practice, this does not provide significant advantages and is more suitable for people who are used to the top location of the freezer or those who often use the freezer compartment.

Two-door models

Using two-door modifications, you can save considerable space and improve ergonomics in the process of equipment operation. In the manufacturer's lineup, representatives of this type in the GNE134620X and GN163120W series are most interesting. Differences in them are few, but for those consumers who want to have a variant with higher noise insulation, it is worth choosing a two-door refrigerator "Beko GNE134620X", which also has a modern electronic control system. Despite criticism of the two-door configuration as such, Turkish developers managed to demonstrate the opposite example. In comparison with analogues, refrigerators of this brand show the possibility of long-term storage of products with all useful properties.

The technique is designed so that moisture goes beyond the camera. This eliminates the freezing of the refrigerator walls. In addition, an antibacterial coating with special odor absorbers is provided. Many buyers are afraid that the two-door models have a lower level of sealing than the conventional versions. Nevertheless, the refrigerators "Beko", customer feedback about which emphasize the high density of the flaps, are characterized by high energy efficiency. It is this characteristic that indicates the preservation of tightness in the compartments.

Embedded models

The popularity of built-in kitchen appliances has not been ignored by the company "Beko", which fully strives to take advantage of this concept. Models of this family type CBI7771 and BU1200HCA are compact in size and do not lose in their performance. In particular, customers can use the refrigerator "Beko" two-chamber built-in type with a height of 82 cm and a depth of 59 cm. This model BU1200HCA, which has a class of energy saving A. Of course, the manufacturer had to sacrifice some functionality to reduce the size. So, unlike full-fledged equipment, this model does not have bottle holders, water dispenser, quick-freeze compartment and ice generators. But a considerable amount of useful space was saved.

In this series, the total capacity varies from 200 to 300 liters, which, again, corresponds to the dimensions that the standard Becco refrigerator has. However, the owners' comments, however, rather than the volume of offices, rather the convenience of the location of equipment in the kitchen and its energy efficiency. In terms of energy consumption, built-in refrigerators are 15% more economical than conventional two-chamber analogues.

Models with No Frost technology

Producer "Beko" one of the first to master the No Frost system, which eventually provided refrigerators with several advantages. In 2011, the company introduced CN327120 and CN329220, which demonstrated the possibilities of innovative technology. Today, refrigerators "Beko Know Frost" are presented in almost all series. What distinguishes models with this technological feature? For sure, many met the ice raids, which are formed on the inner surfaces of the doors from the refrigerating and freezing chambers. So the development of No Frost is a type of windy thawing, due to which snow and ice "fur coats" are excluded.

At the same time, the work of this system does not lead to a reduction in productivity. Moreover, the quality of the direct function of the refrigerator rises. Foods preserve freshness, vitamins and aroma. This is especially evident in the case of greenery, which does not fade within weeks. The effectiveness of this conservation is due to the fact that, for example, the refrigerator "Beko", the two-chamber "No Frost" has an air circulation system between its compartments. As a result, cooling processes are optimized, the humidity regime is normalized, and favorable conditions for storage of products are also provided. However, there is a No Frost system and disadvantages. Such refrigerators are notoriously noisy, so you should first familiarize yourself with the sound insulation indicators.

Operational safety

Despite the declared reliability of the products of this brand, it is only with observance of the operating rules that you can count on the maximum period that the Beko refrigerator can serve. The instruction, in particular, requires compliance with the following items:

• Connect the equipment only after full release from the packaging and secure installation in the room.
• During defrosting, you can not use mechanical tools and appliances to remove the ice cover.
• Do not apply thermal effects to the cooling circuits - they must maintain integrity.
• Electric appliances and other devices that are not related to foodstuffs, as well as their storage, should not be placed in the offices.
• It is also not recommended to place other household appliances on the refrigerator.
• The plug must not be plugged into extension cords, tees, or carrying. Do not forget that the refrigerator refers to the energy-demanding technology, so increasing the load can adversely affect the quality of operation of the equipment.
• Also there are requirements to the network itself, to which the refrigerator is connected. It must be provided with a protective device.

Rules for the use of refrigerators "Beko"

Work with the refrigerator, in particular its connection to the network, you can start after installing and checking the internal compartments for cleanliness. Further, with the help of adjusting elements or buttons on the display, which are supplied with "Beko" refrigerators with electronic control, the required temperature regime should be set. Some models are equipped with a device for ionizing the air in the chambers. You should include this option, and then wait for the completion of its work. The temperature regime is selected individually, however the manufacturer recommends using as base values - 18 ºC for the freezer and 4 ºC for the main refrigerating compartment. If the ambient temperature exceeds 30 ºC, then the mode in the freezer compartment should be changed to - 20 ºC.

A special function is provided for quick defrosting of the freezer. As already noted, do not use third-party devices to accelerate this process. Before you start the quick defrost option, you should check the special tank that supplies the Becco refrigerator. The reviews note that all the water that forms during the thawing process enters this tank, so it is very important to ensure its correct position at the back wall.

Maintenance of refrigerators

The main measure for maintaining the refrigerator, which must be performed in the course of its operation, is cleaning. After disconnecting from the network, all surfaces should be thoroughly rinsed using a solution of warm water and a mild detergent. It is very important that the powder or detergent does not have an abrasive effect or acidic effect. Also, do not allow water to enter the controls and backlight elements. A condenser is mounted on the back of the instrument. It must be cleaned and vacuumed at least once a year. Before moving to the internal surfaces of the unit, all products, as well as foreign objects, should be removed from the compartments. In addition, the refrigerators "Beko" are supplied with a variety of different containers for the maintenance of products of a certain type. They should also be removed and washed separately. Before pulling out the container or pallet, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the locking mechanisms - this will ensure correct attachment when installing the auxiliary component in place. Next, you should gently rinse all the inner surfaces of the chambers. If after cleaning is not planned to use a refrigerator, it is better not to connect it to the network.

Opinions of specialists about refrigerators "Beko"

Concerning the appearance of the opinion of experts, the thoughtfulness of the lines, forms and, in general, the successfully implemented design of the technique are noted. No less responsible manufacturer is suitable for internal equipment of refrigerators. Most models contain all the necessary niches for storing bottles, eggs, vegetables and other products. Moreover, many experts emphasize the innovation in the organization of offices, which has a refrigerator "Beko" two-chamber. Reviews, for example, allocate moving shelves for dairy products. In other words, the ergonomics and design of the models of this brand deserves high marks. As for performance, it's not so simple. To the virtues can be attributed a high class of energy saving - almost all representatives of the line are marked with the categories "A" or "+ A". Favorable are the opinions on the rate of cooling and defrosting. However, in terms of reliability and durability, the "Beko" refrigerators show far from ideal results. Compared with German technology, for example, they often require maintenance and repair.

Customer Reviews

The judgments of consumers are also varied, although there are common points in which the criticism converges. First of all, this refers to the functionality that refrigerators "Beko" have. The buyers' comments mark not only a wide range of adjustments and optional features, but also the convenience in locating in the kitchen. For tight rooms or dining rooms with an unusual layout, the same embedded models can be the optimal solution.

Also, the owners emphasize the benefits of technological innovation. The matter is that budgetary technique is not always distinguished by a high level of performance of advanced functions. And just the opposite impression is caused by the refrigerator "Beco Know Frost". The reviews praise the ventilation between the cameras, due to which the freshness of the products is preserved, and also the negative processes in the form of door glaciations on the reverse sides are prevented. Unfortunately, the opinions of direct consumers can not be avoided without mentioning a variety of breakdowns up to a complete loss of efficiency.

Conclusion

Manufacturers of budget kitchen appliances tend to balance between features such as functionality, performance and reliability with durability. As a result, they manage to create products with averaged characteristics without technological additions, but at an affordable price. Against this background, the "Beko" refrigerators are clearly stand out due to the availability of advanced options, stylish design and smartly implemented ergonomics. And the latter applies not only to the control systems of refrigerators, but also to the general configuration - from compact dimensions and the location of the freezer to the introduction of convenient containers, holders and other containers for products. In general, according to the initial data and characteristics of the "Beko" model, it can compete with analogues from the world's largest brands. And even high energy efficiency will increase the chances of getting into the first line of the rating of refrigerators. However, the general impression, as a rule, spoils already in the first months of operation, when errors in the assembly pop up. A few years after using such a refrigerator, a visit to the service center may become regular. However, a low price will be a comfort - refrigerators of this brand are related to cheap household appliances, so many are ready to compromise on quality and durability.
