BEKO B5 RCNK 363 ZW TOTAL NO FROST

Pros

• Quiet operation: Commonly mentioned as a significant advantage. Several users describe it as "quiet," "almost silent," or "beshumny" (translated as "noiseless"). One user even compared it favorably to an LG model.
• Spacious: Described as "vместительная морозилка" (large freezer) and having "достаточно места" (enough space) for a small family. Another review notes the "достаточно объемные" (sufficiently spacious) refrigerator and freezer compartments.
• No-frost technology: Explicitly praised for not requiring defrosting ("Отлично морозит и не надо размораживать").
• Good temperature control: Maintains the set temperature well ("заданную внутри температуру поддерживает"). Includes a "зона свежести" (freshness zone) maintaining 1-3 degrees.
• Stylish design: Praised for its "лаконичный, и в то же время стильный дизайн" (laconic, yet stylish design). The three-color LED lighting in the vegetable crisper is also mentioned favorably.
• Adjustable shelves: Interior shelves are adjustable in height.
• Reversible doors: The ability to change the door swing direction is noted ("можно перевесить двери").
• Good value for money: One user explicitly states it''s the best option for the price ("За эти деньги лучший вариант").
• Other features: Includes features such as egg tray (usable as bottle holder), and wheels for easy movement.

Cons

• Excessive noise: One user reported a loud crackling noise ("трещит как попкорн"), which Beko customer service deemed "normal". Another user described a diesel-like rattling sound ("Тарахтит как дизелек"). A rattling interior panel was also mentioned, but this was easily resolved.
• Temperature regulation issues: One user reported that the temperature control range is poor, with even the highest setting resulting in extremely cold water. The digital display is described as showing only the set temperature, not the actual temperature.
• Low door handle: The door handle is described as too low for people taller than 180cm.
• Faulty initial freon charge: One review describes an initial problem with excessive freon leading to ice formation. This was subsequently fixed under warranty.
• Non-adjustable door shelves: The shelves inside the door are not adjustable.

Comments

Several users recommend the refrigerator. The initial setup requires removing styrofoam from the condenser. One user suggested adding double-sided tape to eliminate a rattling noise.
