Beko CDA543F Reviews: Frost Free, Tall, Multi fridge freezer

+ Small enough to fit into a smaller space but still has great capacity

- It wasn't free.

+ Slimline for available space
Door can be fixed both ways
Very quiet
Very efficient
User friendly

- Freezer is split into drawers so limits space and they flow easily when taking them in or out

+ There's loads of space mainly in the fridge compartment, as soon as you put fresh meat in the freezer the cooling action starts working and immediately starts freezing, within minutes ice lolly's and ice cubes starts to set.

- none so far

+ Good product overall, excellent storage capacity in both fridge and freezer sections.

+ Nice design which fits in well with the kitchen

- Limited space for a large family

+ beautiful design

- none

+ FRIDGE A GOOD SIZE

- DENTS EASY

+ Energy efficient. Good size fridge with plenty of space. Frost-free will save a lot of hassle.

- Not enough freezer space.

+ very quiet, good capacity,good overall quality

- interior light badly positioned

+ Nice looking fridge.....Ice cube draw very handy

- Haven't found any yet

+ Plenty of space in Fridge area.

- Larger than I thought.

+ Excellent value for money. Frost free is great extra. Looks good.

- None yet.

+ The fridge/freezer was just the right width for us as we were limited on space. It was taller so had plenty space. The shelves in the fridge are solid and easy to clean and the drawers in the freezer are easily taken out to clean. I also like the separate ice cube shelf in the freezer it's very useful and neat.

- The drawers in the freezer slope slightly and make it a little difficult to store boxes i.e. fish fingers etc. You have to be very tidy to avoid squashing the boxes.

+ It looks good and runs very quietly, large fridge space and overall good value for money.

- The Freezer hasn't as much space because of the rounded drawers and you can't move the bottle racks in the Fridge door.

+ Good size fridge, temperature control easy to work (fridge a lot colder than previous one,so still adjusting and turning down the thermostat!) and there is a separate slim drawer at the top of the freezer for ice cubes. The fridge freezer fits in like a glove, being slimline. One of the best points is that it's frost free and looks good!

- The freezer drawers are rounded at the back so boxed items really better at the front of the drawers and bags at the back. The two compartments at the bottom of the fridge slide up towards you instead of straight out which can be a bit off putting if you are vertically challenged like me.

+ A good f/f at a good price.

+ The appliance seems most efficient and, although I had had no previous experience of Beko previously, I am impressed and pleased with it.

- None

+ Shelving versdatile and easy to move with ooptions to adjust to store different size containers.

- none so far

+ It is very roomy and easy to maintain as it is frost free. It takes up very little space in my kitchen as it is tall and narrow.

- None

+ the fridge is nice and big, it holds lot of food.

- i'm not keen on the draw space in the freezer.you have to tilt the draw's to get them in and out so you can't fill them up .

- motor noise is more than we expected

+ Frost Free, large Fridge, Glass shelves, Ice bank.

- Freezer a bit small - door storage not very flexible

+ Frost free! And good capacity.

- Slightly noisy.

+ Large fridge with glass shelves, thus avoiding spillage from top shelf contaminating the rest of the fridge.

- The freezer drawers are not square at the back thus resticting the storage of prepacked frozen food. But this would not put me of buying another. There is still ample storage

+ Large fridge capacity, plenty of shelving. Not as noisy as some reviews of it had said it was. Very slimline.

- The freezer capacity is ample for my use but would not suit a family. Although its not an issue for me the fridge freezer is very high and you would need to bear this in mind if purchasing it.

+ Ultra fast freeze. Ice cubes in the blink of an eye!! Good looking fridge that appears more expensive than it is.

- Can be a bit noisy at times

+ Really good sized fridge, and very quiet
Very Fast freeze and good ice tray
Very pleased with purchase

- Not really a problem but Freezer shelves raised at the back leading to loss of a little space

+ Narrow width plus extra height is ideal for our small kitchen.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Frost free works well - Quite a large capacity for a 'narrower' fridgefreezer would recommend

- On the vary rare occasion the motor can be a little bit noisy but it is ver rare.

+ Sturdy, yet clean appearance. Easy close doors.

- Thickness / bulge of front door, 'overhangs' width of core unit - not convenient to fit alongside a wall.

+ Neat exterior, reasonably quiet, ice cube compartment useful

- Purchase governed by width constraints, unfortunately product does not have all features of 14 year old Hotpoint (neither do Hotpoints). Handles take up lot of space on freezer drawers, no external warning lights, no fast freeze controls

+ This fridge freezer fits our narrow space perfectly and is roomy enough for a family of four.

+ Required one with a 4-drawer freezer and there were not many about. Very impressed with it overall in regard to the finish, build quality and quietness in operation.

- None so far.

+ Cheap, and relatively large freezer whilst still being slim enough to fit into a space in our old kitchen!

- Frost free system is fine but it will still feeeze food in the fridge if it is put in the bottom.

+ Grade A on energy, one motor runs fridge and freezer, and combined they loose less energy because of the lower surface area.

- Thick insulation on freezer section looses space and poor design of freezer baskets wastes even more. but still O.K for a family of 4, shopping once a fortnight, just!

+ Door changeable from right to left, freezer and fridge space good.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ An excellent product with good capacity in both the fridge and freezer. Shelf configuration in the fridge allows considerable adaptability for different sized containers.

- Changing door opening rather fiddly and instructions not easy to follow.

+ good value for money freezer works exceptionally well

- none

+ Deceivingly spacious

- A bit noisy at times

+ Roomy & Great value for money & A rating energy effeciency
Fast freeze top unit in freezer & fridge has easy clean glass shelves.Also very roomy salad drawers

- The motor is a little noisier than I was expecting. If the temp setting in the fridge is too low the glass shelving will accentuate the cold & part freeze high water content foods such as salad items.

+ Its so so cold! its fantastic, the freezer is a dream, with the internal fan, it sure works to keep it a freezer! and the fridge, even on a low setting it keeps everything so chilled, its size ie: being tall and slim, is a saviour if you are limited for space as we were, overall its the best buy i've bought in years! and would highly recommend to anyone!

- NONE WHATSOEVER!

+ frost free, and good space. ALso alot cold than other similar hoptpoint one at No. 1 on control therefore energy efficient.

- none

+ size of fridge, useful compartments especially seperate ice-cube drawer

- freezer capacity a little disappointing, sometimes a little noisy

+ Nice styling to fridge and I like the clear fronts to the freezer drawers. Also plenty of room on the door shelves on fridge. Keeps food REALLY cool even at a low setting on thermostat. Good value for money.

- Can't get as much in the freezer drawers as it appears in the photo online. I think 3 larger drawers instead of 4 smaller ones would have been better. Also, I'm a bit nervous of putting too much on the glass shelves in fridge even though it's safety glass - but perhaps that's just me!

+ Excellant cooling/food keeps a lot fresher for longer, out performing
my previous equipment.

- None to date.

+ Massive fridge area and well lit.
Good visual design.
Even after leaving door ajar overnight accidentally it managed to totally de-ice itself.

- As it uses a fan in the freezer it may emit a little more noise than other fridge freezers.

+ Fridge is a good large size. Noise is very quiet. Great frost free freezer. Love the ice cube drawer!

- The freezer capacity is quite small. Due to the strange shape of the back of the draws, it is difficults to store boxes ie, quiche, pizzas, lasagne etc

+ Good capacity for width. Quiet. Cheap!

- Interior plastic a bit feeble. Be nice if freezer drawers were rectangular, rather than wedge shaped (less room at back).

+ Good value - seemed to be largest freezer compartment we could find.

- Expected the fridge freezer to run silently there is "mooing" noise when the fridge/freezer is cooling. Bigger freezer would be useful

+ only size to fit kitchen

- full of water inside, always dripping

+ 4 glass shelves in fridge & 4 containers in freezer.

- Not separate temperature controls for fridge & freezer

+ just a very good fridge freezer

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Very quiet running, Good value for money, looks sleek.

- Holders on the inside of the door can only be moved to one position, in order to accommodate bottles the other holder is too shallow to hold anything. Only one holder given for eggs, only holds 6 eggs.

+ Nice and narrow to fit into to confined space, but very roomy inside

- had trouble changing doors from right to left ,hinges and screws tight fit

+ The product is good, especially the ice tray which is fantastic! Although, you've got to watch you don't pull the ice tray out too far, otherwise the tray falls out and the ice goes everywhere!!

- Can't think of any bad points.

+ Both the fridge and freezer are frost free - my prime consideration.
It has good inner capacity in relation to the overall outer dimensions. Some other F/F have small inner dimensions compared to their out dimensions.

- Handles and front styling is very "industrial" and basic looking.
Some of the inner plastic is flimsy

+ Seems to run fairly quietly. There is a nice little ice compartment above the freezer that slides out for easy access.

- For me, the freezer isn't quite big enough. It is a replacement after moving house, for a huge cabinet syle freezer so maybe I haven't yet got used to this ones size.

+ 1. It works!
2. has four internal shelves to fridge and 4 drawers to freezer.
3. No excessive interior space lost where motor etc situated

- narrower internally than older model, so doesn't fit stuff as well

+ Excellent balance between in-kitchen freezer and fridge. Slim and it fits well in our space behind the back door. The quality of the materials and build quality are very good. Bottles of wine can stand in the door in 2 different rows if the shelves are moved to the necessary positions.

- The door containers have slits in the bottom which could be a problem with spillages.

+ Excellent capacity for its size, well laid out

- none

- little bit noisy at times

+ Can remove freezer shelves to put bigger items in.plenty of storage in fridge door.good buy.

- None at the moment.

+ Ideal to fit standard kitchen unit width and depth

- none

+ Performs exactly as anticipated. Good looks and fits in well considering its competitive price.

- No real bad points. It is fairly compact when it comes to storage capacity, but then I knew that when I ordered it, as the unit has to fit in a very tight space.

+ capacity and built design is good

- till now nothing bad

+ There's a nice equal distribution of fridge and freezer space and it looks nice and streamlined.

- I'm yet to find them although trying to get hold of this fridge/freezer was a nightmare - guess it's just too popular!

+ easy to change doors, easy to install, ample space for all my freezer goods,nice and compact but still lots of room.

- no problems

+ Ice cube compartment
Simple but stylish appearance

- Had to put the door on the other way myself - would be better if you could choose left or right hand opening at time of purchase.

+ A nice clean finish to the unit, with a solid feel at the price point. Light enough too manoeuvre into position with ease

- Makes a strange 'robocop' sound every 10-15secs (faint whirring of fine motors noise), it is not loud but a light irritation when the room is quiet.Troublesome switching of door opening side, but with a bit of general awareness, not too difficult.

+ Reasonable space
Would have preferred baskets against plastic drawers but ok

- Not up to standard as needed to retap holes for reversing doors
Will not take large milk containers unless turned round

+ huge fridge

- freezer drawers could be a bit bigger

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Less freezer space than expected

+ Overall good fridge freeze, plenty of space. Glass shelves (other models in this price range have wire shelves).

+ Capacity and design

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Good looking, efficient, easy access to compartments

- May be a bit noisy for some

+ The fridge makes the most of the available floor space and therefore fulfills my family's needs. The separate icetray is wonderful.

- Nil.

+ Good capacity for a fridge/freezer with plenty of room in both sections. Shelves in freezer are easily adjusted. Door shelf can be moved so you can store tall bottles with ease. Frost free is a bonus. Ice bank tray a nice touch. Fits easily into narrowish space and doesn't stick out too far from wall.

+ Lots of storage space in the fridge and a good size freezer. Looks good overall without taking up too much space in the kitchen.

- Can't think of any!
