Beko vs Hisense Fridges

Beko and Hisense compete closely in the mid-range, and both cover undercounter and tall freestanding sizes. Beko's line starts at the BLS4682 built-in undercounter larder fridge at £269 and includes the LSG4545W tall larder fridge with 252 litres of capacity. Hisense's offer begins at £169 with the RL170D4BCE 133L under counter larder fridge and the RL170D4BWE undercounter 133L model, and it rises to the RL5K370GSFC KitchenFit 372L freestanding fridge at £1,199, which has a black glass finish.

Beko's ProSmart Inverter compressor adjusts cooling power to match how the fridge is used, and its NeoFrost Dual Cooling separates the two cooling circuits. The EverFresh+ drawer controls humidity for produce, and HarvestFresh lighting mimics daylight to help preserve vitamins. Hisense's approach relies on Total No Frost, metal cooling on premium models and digital temperature controls that range from 2°C to 8°C in the fridge. The RL170D4BCE has a reversible door and a salad crisper drawer, the RL415N4ACE adds a multi-air flow system and precise temperature control, and the RL5K370GSFC uses a humidity control crisper. Hisense models typically run at around 40 to 42 dB.

Beko suits households who want a tall larder fridge with decent capacity and efficient inverter cooling, and who value a range that includes both built-in and undercounter sizes. It carries a 2-year warranty, though its after-sales service can be improved in some regions. Hisense suits renters, students and second-home owners who want a low-cost undercounter fridge or a 322L freestanding model with more modern features than many budget rivals. Its service network is still expanding in some areas, and it offers fewer colour options than competitors.

Bottom line: choose Beko if you want an efficient inverter fridge with a 252-litre larder design and a built-in undercounter option from £269, choose Hisense if you want the cheapest entry at £169 or a larger 372L freestanding model at £1,199 with Total No Frost.
