Beko’s rigorous testing supports reliability in new build homes

October 22, 2024

Beko Appliance Partners ensures the durability and reliability of its products through stringent stress-testing protocols. As part of the UK’s leading home appliance brand, Beko’s commitment to quality is reflected in its approach to testing, ensuring that appliances can meet the demands of modern living.

The appliances undergo extensive testing to replicate real-life usage. For instance, fridge freezer doors are opened and closed up to 300,000 times, glass shelves are tested under the weight of 150kg for prolonged periods, and dishwasher racks are repeatedly extended under load over 100,000 times. These measures are aimed at ensuring that Beko appliances can withstand everyday challenges and offer years of dependable service.

In addition to the reliability benefits, this durability contributes to environmental sustainability. Longer-lasting appliances reduce electronic waste, which often ends up in landfill. To support this, Beko offers extended parts and labour warranty packages of up to five years, alongside a 10-year spare parts guarantee on select models.

Steve Clarke, Beko’s Head of Quality and Sustainability, highlights the company’s focus: “We ensure our appliances are not only functional and stylish but are also built to last. By working closely with developers, we provide appliances that have been rigorously tested to exceed safety and performance standards, helping to deliver homes that surpass expectations.”

For housebuilders, specifying reliable products is key to maintaining customer satisfaction. Appliances that fail shortly after installation can lead to costly callbacks and repairs, negatively impacting the homeowner’s experience and the developer’s reputation. By choosing robust, thoroughly tested appliances, developers can mitigate these risks and protect their brand integrity.

Beko’s latest advertising campaign showcases the extreme testing processes, offering an insight into the brand’s dedication to reliability. This emphasis on longevity ensures that housebuilders can have confidence in the products they specify, knowing they are built to perform and endure.
