Beko has a strong reputation in the UK for practical, budget-friendly appliances, and this model fits that brief well. You’re getting a tall, family-sized fridge with thoughtful storage touches rather than flashy extras.

Who this fridge is best for

The Beko LSG4545S is ideal for medium to larger households that mainly need chilled storage and are happy to pair it with a separate freezer. With space for around 14 bags of food shopping, it will comfortably handle the weekly shop for a family.

Its 54cm width and 145.7cm height make it a smart option for narrower kitchens, galley layouts or utility rooms where every centimetre counts. The reversible door means you can swap the hinge to open from either side, so it’s easy to slot into awkward corners or tight spaces.

If you like to cook from fresh, the full-width salad crisper is useful for keeping fruit and veg together and easy to find. Adjustable glass shelves also make this a good choice for anyone who regularly stores tall bottles, large casserole dishes or birthday cakes.

It suits buyers looking for a reliable, no-fuss fridge at a sensible price rather than a premium, feature-heavy model. First-time buyers, landlords and busy families will likely find it does exactly what they need with minimal fuss.

What we like

The standout strength of the Beko LSG4545S is its capacity. At 252 litres, you get more usable space than many compact models, while still keeping a relatively small footprint – ideal when you’re short on width but need plenty of storage.

Storage is well thought through. Five adjustable glass shelves give you lots of flexibility to reconfigure the interior for weekly shops, big leftovers or party platters. The full-width salad crisper keeps fresh produce together and helps stop smaller items from disappearing to the back of the fridge.

Door storage is generous too, with four door balconies that make it easy to line up bottles, condiments and cartons without cluttering the main shelves. An included egg tray and bright LED interior lighting round off a layout that feels straightforward and user-friendly.

Practical touches like auto defrost and the reversible door make living with it easier. You won’t be scraping away ice from the back wall, and you can choose which side the door opens to suit your kitchen layout.

Noise levels of 38 dB are modest for this type of fridge, so it should sit quietly in an open-plan kitchen without drawing much attention.

Where it could be better

The main compromise here is efficiency: with an E energy rating, the LSG4545S isn’t at the cutting edge of running costs compared with the latest top-rated models. Its annual consumption of around 105 kWh is still reasonable, but greener options exist if ultra-low energy use is a priority.

There’s also no built-in freezer, so you’ll need a separate unit if you want frozen storage. That’s fine if you’re deliberately opting for a larder fridge, but worth remembering if you were hoping for an all-in-one solution.

Feature-wise, this is a fairly straightforward fridge. You don’t get extras like a dedicated 0°C fresh zone, fancy digital temperature display or adjustable humidity drawers that you’ll sometimes see on higher-end models.

Finally, the manufacturer warranty is only one year, which is on the short side. Many rival brands now offer two years or more as standard, so you may want to consider an extended warranty if you like extra peace of mind.

Everyday use

Living with the Beko LSG4545S should be refreshingly simple. The tall, single-door layout means everything is at a comfortable height, with most shelves accessible without too much bending. At 145.7cm high, it’s easy for most adults to see and reach items on the top shelf.

The interior is lit by LED lighting, which is bright, energy efficient and helps you clearly spot items even when the fridge is full. Glass shelves are solid and wipe clean quickly if there’s a spill, and the dedicated salad drawer makes it obvious where fresh produce belongs.

Auto defrost takes care of condensation and light ice build-up automatically, so you don’t need to empty and manually defrost the fridge – a big help if you’re busy and just want an appliance that quietly gets on with the job.

With a quoted noise level of 38 dB, you can expect a low hum rather than an intrusive buzz. For most households, it will happily sit in an open-plan kitchen or kitchen-diner without becoming a distraction.

The reversible door is a real benefit if your kitchen layout is awkward or you’re fitting it into an existing gap. Swapping the hinge side is a one-off job during installation and gives you more freedom about where it can live.

Performance and features

As a larder fridge, the Beko LSG4545S focuses entirely on chilled storage, and it does that core job very well. The 252-litre net capacity is generous for its footprint, making it a strong performer for families or serious home cooks who prefer to keep a lot of fresh food on hand.

The flexible interior is a key part of its appeal. Five adjustable glass shelves give you multiple levels to play with, so you can raise or lower them to fit tall bottles, stacked containers or large serving dishes. Four door balconies make it simple to group everyday items like milk, juices, jars and condiments where they’re easy to grab.

The dedicated salad crisper at the base of the fridge helps keep fruit and veg together and shielded from the coldest air, which should help them stay fresher for longer. An included egg tray is a small but useful extra that keeps fragile items from rolling around.

On the convenience front, auto defrost is an important feature. It stops ice building up on the back wall, helping maintain consistent performance and saving you the hassle of manual defrosting. LED interior lighting gives a bright, even view of the contents while using less energy than traditional bulbs.

The fridge is designed to work in a wide range of climates, with a climate class from SN to T and an operating range from 10°C to 43°C ambient temperature. That means it should perform reliably whether it’s in a warm kitchen or a cooler utility room, as long as conditions stay within that band.

You don’t get smart connectivity or advanced zoning features, but for a straightforward, dependable fridge, its feature set is solid and well judged for everyday use.

Value for money

This Beko fridge offers strong value for money, particularly if you’re more interested in space and practicality than high-end bells and whistles. You’re getting a large 252-litre capacity, flexible shelving, auto defrost and LED lighting in a slim, tidy design.

The E energy rating means it’s not the absolute cheapest to run, but the annual consumption of just over 100 kWh is still reasonable for a tall freestanding fridge. For most households, the running costs should remain comfortably manageable.

The extremely strong user feedback – a 4.7 out of 5 score from more than 3,000 reviews – underlines that buyers generally feel they’ve had good value and reliability. That’s a powerful endorsement at this price level.

The only real weakness on the value front is the short one-year warranty, which isn’t as generous as some rivals. Even so, taken as a whole package of capacity, convenience and proven owner satisfaction, the LSG4545S stacks up very well for the money.

Our verdict

The Beko LSG4545S is a sensible, well-judged larder fridge that delivers where it matters: plenty of space, flexible storage and hassle-free everyday use. It’s an especially good fit for families and busy households that want a roomy, no-nonsense fridge to partner with a separate freezer.

Its strengths lie in its generous 252-litre capacity, slim 54cm width and practical touches like auto defrost, reversible door and bright LED lighting. The overwhelmingly positive owner reviews back up the impression of a reliable workhorse that quietly gets on with the job.

If you’re set on the very best energy rating, a longer warranty or extra premium features like multiple climate zones, you may want to look further up the price ladder. But for most buyers looking for a solid, affordable tall fridge from a trusted brand, the Beko LSG4545S is an easy model to recommend.
