Beko vs Iceking Fridges

Beko and Iceking both serve budget buyers, but they target different sizes. Beko's LSG4545W is a 252-litre tall larder with auto defrost, and its BLS4682 is a built-in undercounter larder at £269. Iceking's tall RL340EW, with 331 litres and auto defrost, is priced at £369, making it the larger tall fridge in this pairing. Its undercounter RK113EW has an icebox and costs £149.

Beko's range is built around named inverter and humidity technologies, including ProSmart Inverter Compressor, NeoFrost Dual Cooling and EverFresh+ drawers. Iceking's features are basic. The RL340EW has six shelves and auto defrost, the RK113EW has a salad crisper and icebox, and the TT46EW is a 41-litre tabletop model with a 38dB noise rating. The RL111EW offers an 88-litre undercounter larder at 39dB and £139, so Iceking covers a range of simple, low-cost sizes.

Beko suits buyers who want a mid-sized 252-litre tall larder with auto defrost and reversible doors, or a built-in undercounter fridge for a fitted kitchen. Iceking suits students, offices and rentals who need the cheapest tabletop, undercounter or tall option, with a white finish. The RL340EW works well for a family kitchen that needs more fresh-food space on a tight budget. Compare the aftersales cover on each model before buying, since budget fridges vary. Iceking's range is white only, so it will not suit a coloured or stainless kitchen.

Bottom line: choose Beko if you want a 252-litre tall larder with auto defrost and reversible doors, such as the LSG4545W, or the built-in BLS4682 at £269 for a fitted kitchen. Choose Iceking if you need a 331-litre tall larder with auto defrost for £369, or an 81-litre undercounter icebox model such as the RK113EW at £149.
