The Products

During the trade launch, guests, including media and dealers, got to experience Beko’s range of appliances. They also got tips from a chef and an interior designer on how to manage their homes like a pro.

Among the hero technologies that were highlighted during the trade launch are HarvestFresh, ProSmart Inverter Technology, Steam Cure, Hygiene+, and AeroPerfect TM. These technologies are made to help its Filipino users to maximize its features and live like a pro.

Being a fan of cooking and baking these past few years, I personally enjoyed checking out their cookers including the 60x50cm built-in induction hob with four Cooking Zones and two 2 Flexizone, nine cooking levels and a glass burner plate. Then, there’s also multifunction built-in oven with six cooking functions, including Steam Aid feature for moist and even cooking.

For those who are looking for some fresh and aesthetic refrigerators, Beko’s 16.6cf inverter multi-door refrigerator with Neofrost Triple Cooling Technology, HarvestFresh, Prosmart Inverter Compressor, in sleek black glass door finish will surely give your home a new classy look, while keeping your food safe all the time. For Hitachi fans, among the products on display is the Hitachi Refrigerator R-WB640VG0-1 GBK, which comes with Vacuum Technology, Platinum Catalyst, Inverter X Dual-fan Cooling with Eco-thermo sensor. Air conditioning units, both window and split-type, are also on display providing ProSmart Inverter, which give high efficiency, high durability and low noise function.

Nowadays, frontload washer and dryer are a hit among Filipino households, and here in Beko, aside from being approved by Allery UK, their laundry product line comes with Steam Cure Hygiene+ that helps remove stain easier, sanitized clothes, and lessen creases and folds. For smarter home options, they also have table top dishwasher that is user friendly and suitable for all kinds of utensils in the kitchen.

On the other hand, I’m surprised to learn that Beko is now offering a bean-to-cup espresso machine, vacuum cleaner and hand-help steamers that are perfect for those who need easy to use appliances at home.
