Beko CFG3552W

Our verdict · The one to buy when kitchen space or budget, not capacity, is the hard limit.

Buy it if

You have a small kitchen, flat or garage overflow spot and need a cheap, slim, frost-free unit rather than lots of space.

Skip it if

You're a larger household needing capacity, or you want low running costs, quiet running or a full-size body.

The Beko CFG3552W is the pick for tight spaces and tight budgets. At around 54-55cm wide and roughly 152.8cm high it is the smallest-footprint model here, so it slots into flats, annexes and compact kitchens where the taller, wider picks simply won't go. It is Frost Free, has reversible doors and adjustable glass shelves, and its Freezer Guard technology lets it run safely in an unheated room or garage down to -15°C ambient — useful for an overflow appliance. The trade-offs are real: total capacity is only about 220L (143L fridge / 77L freezer, a fridge-biased split), and it carries an energy class F rating. It ranks fifth because it is the least capable on capacity, efficiency and refinement — but it wins outright when kitchen space is the hard limit. Indicative pricing starts around £319.

The good & the bad

Pros

  • Physically smallest footprint on the shortlist, and among the cheapest
  • Slim ~54-55cm width and sub-1.53m height fit compact spaces
  • Freezer Guard lets it run safely in a garage down to -15°C ambient

Cons

  • Small ~220L capacity is too little for larger households
  • Energy class F and basic feature set versus the pricier picks
