Beko BDFN26430A - Test, Reviews & Prices
(Translated)Show original

Third-party reviews

What we like about Beko BDFN26430A

  • Exceptional value for money
  • Excellent cleaning performance even on short or eco cycles
  • Operates very quietly
  • Sleek and attractive modern aesthetics
  • Spacious 14 place setting capacity with a flexible, height-adjustable upper basket
  • Useful variety of wash programs including a fast 30-minute mini cycle and an intensive hygiene cycle
  • Automatic door opening feature at the end of the cycle improves natural drying
  • Simple installation and straightforward user controls
  • Convenient built-in child lock safety feature

What we don't like about Beko BDFN26430A

  • Drying performance can be inconsistent, particularly leaving plastic items like Tupperware damp
  • The lower basket can feel tight or restricted in height, making it difficult to stack very large plates or tall dishes easily
  • The slots on the cutlery basket are somewhat narrow
  • No distinct visual or audible alert if a delayed timer cycle fails to start due to the door not being fully latched

Verdict

The BEKO BDFN26430A is a 60cm freestanding full-size dishwasher finished in anthracite, featuring a 14-place setting capacity, 6 wash programs (including Auto, Intensive 70°C, and Eco), and 5 temperature settings. Key pros include its HygieneIntense program which eliminates 99.999% of bacteria and viruses, a fast 30-minute Mini program, a flexible height-adjustable upper basket, and SelfDry technology that automatically opens the door at the end of the cycle for enhanced drying. However, notable cons are its modest energy efficiency class D rating, a relatively high water consumption of 11.5 liters per cycle, and a standard operating noise level of 47 dB, which makes it slightly louder than premium alternatives.
