Altimo vs Beko Fridges

Altimo and Beko cover the budget end of the fridge market, but Altimo goes lower. Altimo's ATTLD4402W is a tabletop larder fridge with auto defrost at £89, while its ALD4802W and AFR4832W undercounter models are £125 each, and the AFR4832W includes an icebox. Beko's BLS4682 is a built-in undercounter larder at £269, and its LSG4545W is a 252-litre tall larder with auto defrost priced between £329 and £339.

Beko's features are its main differentiator. The LSG4545W has LED lighting and reversible doors, and the EverFresh+ drawer is designed to keep produce fresher for longer, while the ProSmart Inverter compressor adjusts cooling power to use. Its NeoFrost dual cooling uses two separate circuits for the fridge and freezer compartments. Altimo's models are simpler: auto defrost on selected units, an icebox on the AFR4832W and a tabletop format for small spaces. The gap between the ATTLD4402W at £89 and the BLS4682 at £269 is £180.

Altimo suits students, offices, landlords and anyone who needs a cheap second fridge for drinks or extra fresh food, and the tabletop model suits bedrooms and small flats. Beko suits households that need a full-height larder with more capacity, and the built-in undercounter BLS4682 suits fitted kitchens on a budget. Altimo's models here are smaller, so families should check capacity before buying, while the undercounter models at £125 are a sensible option for a small kitchen. Anyone choosing between the two should weigh the £180 gap against the extra features and capacity Beko offers.

Bottom line: choose Altimo if you need the lowest price, such as the ATTLD4402W tabletop at £89 or the AFR4832W undercounter with icebox at £125. Choose Beko if you want a 252-litre tall larder with auto defrost and reversible doors at £329 to £339, or a built-in undercounter BLS4682 at £269.
