Moving things ready to tile the kitchen floor and noticed that my Beko American style fridge/freezer is actually made by a company called Arcelik.

I'd rather have that in my kitchen than smeg.

My kitchen is full of smeg. It was left there by the builders. I don't like it.

Beko Fridges and I go way back; we get on like a good couple of hundred houses on fire.

Turkish I believe?

They’re alright to be honest. Used to sell plenty when I worked at Comet. You got the odd one back, but no more so than an Indesit, Hotpoint etc.

Arcelik/Beko are Turkish, that's right

Part of the same company

I have 2 beko fridge freezers, as far as I'm concerned they are brilliant, better than an overpriced whirlpool i had that fell to bits in a year.

And every single link relates to the same batch of F/F that have had recalls made between 2000 and 2006,none of which relates to the items i have, irrelevant to me, I'm sorry but I'm perfectly happy with mine and they're in outbuildings anyway, that's why i got them because they work below freezing.

That was just the first x number of links from the top of Google. I get that they might have improved now, but I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them, given that they denied it was an issue for multiple years and people have died as a result.

Some faulty Beko fridge-freezers began catching fire as long ago as 2007, the BBC has learned.
Nevertheless most consumers were only warned this week that some of their appliances were potentially lethal.
The Fire Brigade said 15 people had been injured, and one person had died, as a result of fires in London alone.
Beko said it deeply regretted the incidents, and was doing all it could to address the issues, contacting 11,000 customers so far.

Peter Gabriel couldn't stop singing about them a while back.

For that reason alone, I'd refuse to buy one.
