BEKO HEALTHY KITCHENS
Beko Home Appliances, considered to be among the world’s most sustainable appliance manufacturers, is using Earth Day to announce a slew of eco-conscious initiatives including a strategic alliance that places two of the first and highest-profile Beko Healthy Kitchens in one of the world’s healthiest and most sustainable homes
The U.S. subsidiary of Arcelik, Inc., has partnered with gaming and tech icon Michael Wann to design and outfit the chef’s and family kitchens in Wann’s 4,500-square-foot net-zero carbon home taking shape in Santa Monica, Calif. Currently chief strategy officer for Super League Gaming and instrumental in the growth of Tastemade, Fullscreen and Mobcrush, Wann is building a two-level home near Santa Monica College as both a personal residence and a public example of the possibilities of healthy, sustainable home and kitchen design.
“For years, our dream has been to build a home that reflects our love for a healthy, balanced day-to-day life and fully sustainable, eco-friendly lifestyle,” Wann said. “The result will be an attainable net-zero-carbon showplace of accessible healthy, earth-friendly living – and a tangible example for others wanting to make a real difference in their own health and the health of the planet without sacrificing lifestyle goals.”
With the introduction of the Beko Healthy Kitchen earlier this year, Beko is looking to transform the U.S. industry in 2022 and beyond through expert councils, inspired kitchen designs and buildouts, major corporate strategic alliances and at least 35 new cooking, cooling and cleaning products with proprietary technologies and features that empower Americans to lead healthier lives while contributing to a healthier planet.
“To have the first tangible Beko Healthy Kitchens take shape in a home intended to serve as a best-in-class example of healthy, sustainable design represents perfectly the Beko mantra that healthy living is only truly possible on a healthy planet,” said Zach Elkin, president of Beko Home Appliances.
A floorplan by Vaishali Makim, AIA, principal of Makim Architecture of Santa Monica, calls for sweeping, light-filled open spaces, four bedrooms and four bathrooms, separate family, living, entertainment and formal dining rooms, a personal gym and climate-controlled wine and cheese room. Wann started construction in May 2021 on the former site of his family’s vegetable garden and expects move-in by January 2023.
For Wann’s 145-square-foot downstairs chef’s kitchen and 152-square-foot upstairs open-floor-plan family kitchen, Beko is working with designers on its Beko Healthy Kitchen Council to combine appliances, cabinets, surfaces, lighting and interior aesthetics with nutrition, recipe-prep, and earth-friendly elements to create centers of health, wellness and sustainability. Both kitchens will boast an array of the latest Beko kitchen and laundry appliances that were announced at KBIS 2022 including dishwashers equipped with CornerIntense® and IonGuard™, refrigerators with HarvestFresh+™, an industry-largest Beko Double-Wall Oven and range with AirFry, and washing machines outfitted with AquaTech® and RecycledTub® each made from 60 recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles.
The home will also feature the world’s first rooftop installation of a SmartFlower solar system that combines integrated sculptural design, advanced robotics and automation to track the sun throughout the day to produce 40% more energy than traditional solar panels.

Beko CornerIntense Dishwasher
Beko presents some imoportant innovations in the dishwasher sector. The most relevant is the CornerIntense technology® that, instead of a spray arm rotating on a fixed axis, introduces a spray arm rotates on a movable axis. In this way jets of water continually move in more than just one fixed pattern, to completely cover every part of the dishwasher. Thanks to the CornerIntense technology® half the water and two-thirds the energy are used.
CornerIntense® isn’t the only way Beko has improved dishwashing. The company also equipped its machines with the new EverClean™ Filter. This solution automatically rinses the filter with pressurized water to remove food residue and debris, keeping the filter clean up to four times longer. No need to manually clean the filter as often, for continued dishwashing performance.
Moreover, the Beko new DeepWash™ technology brings three water-adjustable jets that deliver increased water pressure to a dedicated wash zone. It easily handles several tall bottles or jars with narrow openings, or a larger item. Extra-dirty, meet extra-powerful.
Finally, the SelfDryTM is an auto door-opening system that unseals and opens the door of the dishwasher after the program has finished, letting ambient air in and drying dishes naturally without the use of additional energy. And thanks to the Beko NSF-certified Sanitize feature, the company machines wash dishes to be a safe and healthy 99.9% bacteria-free.
