Altimo vs Beko Freezers

Altimo offers white freezers from £89, with the ATTFZ4442W tabletop model, the AFZ4842W undercounter at £125, the AFZ5542W at £159 and the AFZ1435542W tall freezer at £219. Beko sits higher, with the BSF4682 built-in undercounter freezer at £289, the FNE4545W frost-free tall freezer at £429, the FFG4545W 177 litre frost-free tall freezer at £399 and the BFFD4577 built-in tall freezer at £549. Altimo's range is more basic, while Beko has a built-in option and a frost-free tall model. For the price, Altimo's tabletop freezer is the cheapest option across both brands.

Beko's freezers use ProSmart Frost Free technology, which removes the need for manual defrosting and keeps temperatures steady. Beko's energy ratings range from A+ to A+++, and its sizes run from 85 litre undercounter models to 250 litre upright freezers. The FFG4545W has a C rated 40dB noise level. Altimo's freezers keep to simple temperature controls, but manual defrosting is needed and the range is white only. Beko's built-in models suit a fitted kitchen, while Altimo's models stand free.

Altimo suits flats, offices and student rooms, and budget buyers who need a simple freezer for a small space. Beko suits households that want frost-free convenience, a built-in fit with the BFFD4577, or a tall 177 litre freezer for everyday storage. The FNE4545W suits a family that wants frost-free storage without a built-in finish. A family wanting frost-free storage without defrosting should look at the Beko range first, as Altimo's models all need manual defrosting.

Bottom line: choose Altimo if you want a basic white freezer from £89 to £219 and accept manual defrosting. Choose Beko if you want frost-free tall storage, such as the FFG4545W at £399, or a built-in BFFD4577 at £549.
