If you're struggling to find appliances for your kitchen project or even replace
one appliance, should you buy a less familiar brand like
Blomberg or their parent company, Beko in this video will highlight some
of the best appliances and compare them to other popular brands.
In 2002, Beko acquired Bloomberg.
They're popular in Europe and widely sold in 140 countries.
Many of Beko's products are innovative,
with features not seen before in this country.
There are no real differences between
the Beko and Blumberg brands, at least currently.
Beko is also extremely fortunate.
Most of the competition has issues shipping products such as
Mila and Bosch for dishwashers and Samsung for refrigerators and stoves.
As an example, we'll refer to the appliances as Beko for simplicity.
In this video, it's the brand that we sell and have information on.
All the Beko refrigerators are counter
depth o they don't protrude past the cabinets better looking.
But in the small models it decreases cubic footage.
The ever Fresh Plus filters Ethylene gasses off spoiling food to keep
food fresher longer and prevent cross contamination of other foods.
Beko's blue lighting has higher Kelvins and Emulates sunlight
that similar lighting promotes and extends photosynthesis in your fruits
and vegetables, keeping them fresher for a longer period of time.
Dual Evaporators Keep the refrigerator and freezer air separate so the warmer
moisture air isn't circulated into the drier.
Colder in the freezer.
You'll see this in many of Becko's best products.
The iron generator pulses negative ions to cancel the positive ions of odor.
Sea refrigerators melts fresher.
Beko ice makers make £6 of ice in 24 hours, almost double of similar brands.
Although they have a decent food
preservation story, the capacity is less than competitive refrigerators.
The smaller units,
due to the shallow depth, have fewer cubic feet and capacity to store food.
The larger units are 20 cubic feet, whereas the more expensive KitchenAid LG
and G counter deck's are 21 to 23 and a half cubic feet.
Beko was third on the list for most
reliable counter depth refrigerators with an 18.1 service ratio.
At least in the first year.
Beko has all stainless tubs.
All stainless tubs require less cleaning than plastic tubs.
Beko is one of the quiet dishwashers of 39 decibels and the kitchen.
It has a similar decibel rating.
In this price range, you'd have to pay over $1,000 more for 38 decibels.
Sound Level for me.
Laura Bosch Most brand cycles operate on similar wash rinse and dry cycles.
Beko has an extra arm applying more
intense water pressure to the lower rack, and the cycle shifts the water pressure
to that lower rack for extra scouring power for baked on dishes.
Many American brands protrude so they look like a dishwasher with a panel stuck on it
rather than a seamless look like Mia Laosh NASCO.
Becko doesn't protrude and looks like
a cabinet for five to $1,000 less than the other brands.
Rebecca is the same drying as a basic wash or KitchenAid.
It's called condensation drying, but it uses the steam and heat
from the wash along with the jettride to dry your dishes.
It doesn't have many of the better drying
features of the more expensive dishwashers,
like Clean air from Mila Pro Dry from KitchenAid or Crystal Dry from Bosch.
Echo is a very good
reliability rating of seven point 76% service in the first year,
almost 50% better than the average dishwasher reliability rating.
At 11.2%.
They tell 5.7 cubic feet as being the largest it is in fact
one of the largest LG is a 6.3 cubic foot oven kitchen agenda a bit bigger as well.
They claim to Cook
the most even of all the brands without describing exactly how the convection fan
is the largest in comparison to other brands.
Perhaps it moves air better.
You do have interesting
automatic cooking modes for pizza, Turkey and bread, among others.
Warming draws a great feature to these ranges, keeping food warm for up to 3
hours without dehydrating it into mush like a microwave.
Warming drawers cost 1200 just on their own.
Price in these ranges is 1799 and 1999 for the gas electric range and is less
expensive than comple ranges from LG and Samsung.
The controls are also on the face rather than the top.
You'll have more room for your pots and pans than almost every competitive brand.
Becko's gas only ranges have one power burner at 18,000 BTU and then decrease.
After that, you do have two power burners on most other manufacturers.
Their induction range is a bit pricey at 36.
99.
Wifi Smart functionality are missing in Beko cooking.
You cannot control the range remotely.
Smart technology is starting to evolve
where you can download recipes directly to your stove.
Beko could be at a disadvantage in the future for home connectivity.
Beko was again amongst the most reliable
gas ranges, with a three point 91 service ratio in the first year.
For electric ranges.
However, Beko's service rate is higher at eight point 25%.
Service may be one area where Beko
and Blomberg are different due to the two separate supply channels.
Blomberg supply by distributor.
Whereas Beko was a direct model,
you will have to check in your area if
your store does not service what they sell.
Beko, Blomberg and many other brands do not offer service departments,
which you should factor into your overall decision.
No brand is close to being flawless.
Expect problems.
Just make sure whatever you buy can be fixed.
Beko is incredibly competitive.
It's a great choice when you have limited choices.
Beko may still be one of the more popular
brands, even when the others have the available appliances.
The brand does stand on its own merits
against any manufacturer, even the premium ones.
But like any other purchase, make sure Beko can be repaired in your area.
