Where to buy the Beko CFG4552S fridge freezer
🏆 Review & price summary
The Beko CFG4552S fridge freezer is a straightforward freestanding appliance designed for homes that need a narrower-than-average footprint. Its 220-litre capacity, frost-free freezer, automatic fridge defrosting, reversible door and Freezer Guard cover the essentials well. The main compromises are its E energy rating, modest 77-litre freezer and basic mechanical control system.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Frost-free freezer operation and automatic fridge defrosting reduce maintenance
- ✓ Narrow 54cm width can suit kitchens or utility rooms with limited space
- ✓ Reversible door supports more flexible installation
- ✓ Freezer Guard supports freezer operation down to -15°C in suitable low-temperature conditions
- ✓ Three freezer drawers, LED lighting and glass fridge shelves provide a practical interior layout
Worth considering
- E energy rating is behind the most efficient fridge freezers, so it is not the best choice for minimising electricity use
- The 77-litre freezer is relatively modest for larger households or buyers who freeze food in bulk
- There is no fast-freeze facility, which limits convenience when adding a large amount of fresh food to the freezer
- Mechanical temperature control provides no electronic temperature display or precise digital adjustment

The official net capacities are 143 litres for the fridge and 77 litres for the freezer, so this is not a true equal-volume 50/50 model.
Storage and layout
The Beko CFG4552S fridge freezer provides 220 litres of usable storage, split between a 143-litre fresh-food compartment and a 77-litre freezer. That makes it more fridge-led than a genuine equal-capacity 50/50 model, which is useful for households that keep more chilled than frozen food.
The fridge has three glass shelves, two adjustable shelves, three door racks and one salad crisper. The freezer has three drawers, giving a clear layout for separating frozen items, although the 77-litre freezer may feel limited for larger households or bulk storage.
Frost-free convenience
The Beko CFG4552S fridge freezer has frost-free freezer operation and automatic fridge defrosting, removing the need for routine manual freezer defrosting. Its LED interior light and reversible door add useful everyday convenience.
Freezer Guard supports freezer operation in ambient temperatures down to -15°C, although the low-temperature specification applies to the freezer compartment rather than recommending normal fridge use in those conditions.
Performance and installation
A 5.5kg daily freezing capacity and 9.5-hour power-cut storage period provide useful basic performance for a conventional freestanding appliance. The 38dBA noise level is reasonable for a kitchen or utility-room appliance.
At 152.8cm high, 54cm wide and 57.5cm deep, the Beko CFG4552S fridge freezer has a comparatively narrow footprint. Its reversible door gives more flexibility when positioning it, while the flush integrated handle keeps the front design simple.
Energy and compromises
The E energy rating and stated annual consumption of 220kWh place this model in the middle-to-lower part of the current fridge-freezer efficiency scale rather than among the most economical appliances.
The mechanical temperature control keeps operation simple but does not provide an electronic temperature display. There is also no fast-freeze facility, water dispenser or ice dispenser, so the feature set is focused on core refrigeration rather than premium convenience.
