Score 9.0/10+ ... brilliant feature is the delayed start times - all you have to do is press one of the buttons! Plus is smaller in depth so it fits neatly under the counter ...

The most important feature for us was the over-all depth of the machine.Our kitchen is small and our previous
machine stuck out a good six inches in front of the work-top.
- The normal cycle takes well over twd hours.

Hannah, Sunderland , “Frequent user” More like this »
Score 8.0/10+ Very easy to use, even for someone like me who's a of a technophobe! I've not noticed the noise, though i'm not usually around it when it's on, but it's not particularly loud. The spin cycle at the end is brilliant for getting the extra water out, very good machine.
- The drum is quite small, a little smaller than I was expecting for a machine this size, but it's not that big of a deal for me as there's only me and my husband's washing to do. Don't think it'd be ideal for a bigger family.

it is quite noisey, I use the quick wash everytime because it seems to take forever even on that setting.
there is always a bit of foam left after the last spin which I dont particularly like as it means that all the suds are not being taken out.

Score 10.0/10+ This is an exceptional value for money washing machine. I've had a number of Beko products in the past and still have. The washing machine has every function you could want, looks smart and is surprisingly quiet. The price is astonishing. I would highly recommend this product.
- The only downside, though it is not one for me, is that the cycle is quite long. If you're in a hurry then this could be a problem.
