Beko technologies explained simply

Beko likes to give a name to every idea: EnergySpin, SteamCure, HarvestFresh, AeroPerfect... Behind these words are often useful improvements, sometimes just marketing. Here is each technology explained simply, what it changes day to day and on which Nimestore models you will find it.

Why Beko names everything

At Beko, every improvement gets a brand name. It's handy for spotting it on a spec sheet, but confusing when you compare with other brands that sometimes do the same thing under a different name. Our rule: look at what the technology actually changes (less energy, fewer creases, less frost, more even cooking) and check it is actually fitted to the exact model. Many of these technologies are only available on certain models.

Washing and drying

EnergySpin: saving on every programme

A washing machine's energy class is measured on the Eco 40-60 programme alone, which few people use every day. EnergySpin targets the others: the drum spins up quickly (up to 300 rpm) to mix the water and detergent thoroughly, so the detergent dissolves better even at low temperatures. Beko claims up to 35% less energy on cotton, synthetic, express, delicate, mixed, sport or cold wash programmes, compared with four of its previous models. The technology won a Les Numériques 2025 readers' award. Available here: BM3WFU47411B (7 kg), BM14WFU39410 (9 kg), BM34WFT310411 (10 kg).

SteamCure and SteamTherapy: steam

SteamCure pumps steam through the bottom of the drum for 20 to 25 minutes during the wash: laundry comes out softer, less creased, with no added chemicals. On tumble dryers (D5H284930W, D43H29493W, D3H210D93WD, D3H111291W), steam relaxes the fibres at the end of the drying cycle. SteamTherapy is a 17-minute programme with no wash water, for freshening up a worn shirt or a jacket that smells of smoke (B3WFT51140W).

The AquaWave drum

Wave-shaped cells create a thin cushion of water and air between the drum and the laundry: less friction, so fabrics are better protected. Found on our Beko washing machines and tumble dryers.

Cold wash at 15 °C

A programme that washes at 15 °C with specific drum movements. Beko says it's as effective as a 40 °C wash on lightly soiled laundry, with up to 82% less energy. Ideal for everyday clothing, less so for heavily stained laundry or hygiene (towels, sheets).

Other washing names to know

AquaTech sprays water and detergent in a cascade for a faster wash; AutoDose doses detergent automatically from a reservoir; FiberCatcher traps up to 90% of microfibres; ProSmart Inverter refers to a brushless, variable-speed motor. These technologies exist at Beko but not on our current washing machines, which have conventional induction motors. We mention them so you can recognise them elsewhere. The ProSmart Inverter, however, is found on the compressor of our American fridge GN163241DXBN.

Cooling

HarvestFresh: the sun in the crisper drawer

Three LEDs, blue, green and red, light up in turn in the crisper drawer to mimic the sun's cycle over 24 hours. Beko cites a test by the Intertek laboratory (over 7 days) to claim better preservation of vitamins A and C. In practice, vegetables keep their appearance better. On our B3RCNE415HW, B3RGNA354HG1, B3RCNE564HDG, B5RCNE565HXBR, B5RDNE504LDXB and B3RGNE544ZXP.

AeroFlow

A redesigned airflow to distribute the cold more evenly throughout the fridge, which limits food drying out. Beko pairs it with HarvestFresh on its recent frost-free fridge-freezers and claims freshness lasting ‘up to 30%'.

MinFrost

A cooling system static in which the evaporator is built into the walls of the freezer. Frost forms half as fast according to Beko, and the glass shelves between the drawers allow the space to be adjusted. Defrosting is still needed, but once or twice a year is often enough. On most of our entry-level 2-door and fridge-freezer models.

NeoFrost Dual Cooling and No Frost

The No Frost (fan cooling) blows cold, dry air: no more frost, no more defrosting. NeoFrost Dual Cooling goes further with two separate circuits for the fridge and the freezer: odours don't pass from one to the other and food in the fridge keeps its moisture. On the RDNE350K40WN, the B5RDNE504LDXB and the American GN163241DXBN.

0-3 °C compartment and circulated cooling

The compartment 0-3 °C (EverFresh+ at Beko) is colder than the rest: meat, fish and cold cuts keep there up to twice as long, according to Beko. The circulated cooling distributes the air in a static fridge and brings the temperature down twice as fast after the door is opened.

Freezer Guard -15 °C

A suitable compressor and electronics let the freezer run in an unheated room down to -15 °C according to Beko: garage, cellar, cold utility room. On the RFSM200T41WN and RFNM200T40WN/1.

Cooking

AeroPerfect

A ‘3D' pulse-heat oven: three heating elements (top, bottom and circular around the fan) and a fan that spins at 1,650 revolutions per minute. Beko claims cooking that is up to 27% faster and 40% more even than its previous oven range. In practice: cakes browned evenly in the centre and at the edges, and the option of baking on two levels. On our cookers FBE68314MXC, FBE67310GX, CUV6732XG, FBS63031WCS and FBM63130ACT.

SteamShine and catalysis

SteamShine is steam cleaning: you pour a little water into the base, the oven heats gently and the steam softens the grime, which you then simply wipe away. The catalytic uses porous walls that absorb grease during cooking above 180 °C. The Pyrolysis (on the BBIM12300XMPEF and BBIM13301XPE-1 ovens) reduces everything to ash at around 500 °C: the most effective.

Split&Cook, VapeurAssist and ProChef

Split&Cook splits a large oven into two cavities so you can cook two dishes at different temperatures; VapeurAssist injects steam for bread and pastry; ProChef optimises cooking across several levels (found on the FBM63130ACT). Split&Cook is not in the Nimestore range today.

Flexible zone and integrated hood

A flexible zone combines two burners to take a large pan or an oval dish (HII63201FMTB, HIXI84700UF). The hob with integrated hood extracts fumes from the middle of the hob (HIXI64700UF1, HIXI84700UF).

The dishwasher

SelfDry opens the door by about 10 cm when the internal temperature drops below 43 °C: ambient air carries away moisture and the dishes dry better (BDFN0543S). Quick&Shine washes and dries in 58 minutes using under 12 litres (PDIN25311). PowerIntense (wash arm with four satellites) and CornerIntense (arm that reaches the corners) are Beko's flagship 2026 technologies, found on models other than those in our current range.

HomeWhiz, the app

HomeWhiz controls connected Beko appliances: remote start, downloadable programmes, energy use monitoring and diagnostic codes. Since 2026 it also serves Whirlpool, Hotpoint and Bauknecht appliances. Only models marked ‘app control' are compatible; our current models are mostly non-connected appliances.

Frequently asked questions

Does EnergySpin really use less energy?

Beko claims up to 35% less energy on everyday programmes (cotton, synthetics, express, delicate, mixed...), compared with four of its previous washing machines. The principle, a rapid start of the drum that dissolves detergent better at low temperature, makes sense. The real saving depends on your programmes.

HarvestFresh: gimmick or real benefit?

It's not a gimmick: three-colour LEDs recreate the day-night cycle in the crisper drawer, and Beko relies on a laboratory test (Intertek, 7 days) to claim better preservation of vitamins A and C. It doesn't replace a good temperature or a well-organised drawer.

What's the difference between SteamCure and SteamTherapy?

SteamCure adds steam for 20 to 25 minutes during a wash to remove creases and soften fabrics. SteamTherapy is a steam-only programme of about 17 minutes, without washing, to refresh a worn garment and get rid of odours.

Is the ProSmart Inverter motor guaranteed for 10 years in Belgium?

Beko claims this guarantee in several countries and on some French product sheets. We have found no official confirmation for Belgium: don't count on it without a document from Beko Belgium.

Is MinFrost the same as No Frost?

No. MinFrost is static cooling: the evaporator is in the freezer walls, which Beko says halves frost build-up. You still need to defrost, but less often. No Frost (fan cooling) eliminates defrosting.
