Beko vs Hotpoint Fridges

Beko and Hotpoint both offer affordable fridges for everyday kitchens. Beko's range here includes the Beko LSG4545W tall larder fridge with 252 litres of net capacity at £329 to £339, and the built-in Beko BLS4682 undercounter larder fridge at £269. Hotpoint's selection starts with the Hotpoint H55VM1120WUK 105L undercounter fridge with icebox at £275, then the Hotpoint SH6A2QWRUK 322L tall larder fridge at £409, the Hotpoint SH8A2QGRDUK 366L in graphite at £459 and the Hotpoint SH8A2QWRDUK 366L in white at £478.

Beko leans on storage and freshness features. Its NeoFrost Dual Cooling uses two separate circuits for the fridge and freezer to limit odour transfer, its EverFresh+ drawer is designed to keep fruit and vegetables crisp with controlled humidity, and its HarvestFresh lighting is intended to help preserve vitamins in produce. The LSG4545W offers reversible doors, LED lighting and auto defrost. Hotpoint focuses on electronic temperature control, automatic defrost and a fast freeze option on its freestanding fridges, with Active Oxygen technology promoted to limit bacteria and odours.

Beko suits renters and small kitchens who want a neat, budget-friendly larder fridge with reversible doors. The BLS4682 built-in model at £269 fits a fitted kitchen neatly, while the LSG4545W at £329 to £339 gives a generous larder layout for a couple or small family. Hotpoint suits households that want more cabinet space in a freestanding unit. The 366-litre SH8A2QWRDUK and SH8A2QGRDUK at £459 to £478 provide room for a family's weekly shop, and the 105-litre H55VM1120WUK at £275 is a compact choice for a second fridge.

Bottom line: choose Beko if you want a budget-friendly tall larder fridge with reversible doors, or a built-in undercounter model for a fitted kitchen, starting at £269. Choose Hotpoint if you need more capacity from a freestanding 322 to 366-litre fridge, or a compact undercounter for a second unit at £275, and prefer the freestanding format.
