Fiona, Co Durham , “Busy mum or dad” More like this »
Score 8.0/10+ Excellent price, plenty of cycles to choose from and a has a quick wash to reduce cycle time. The machine has different spin speeds and even when its not on the highest the clothes hardly need much drying time in the tumble dryer.
- If you dont use quick wash the cycle times are quite long. The higher the spin the noiser it is but its only for a short time.

Score 9.0/10+ all the programme instruction guides are on machine facing which makes it so much easier to follow and means you don't need to keep referring to handbook.
- not really what i'd call a bad point, cycle times are different to old machine so that will take time to get used to. eg i could be getting on with some housework and know when wash had finished but with new machine some washes are quicker, some slower. i like to get washing out of machine as soon as it finishes!

The price is particularly good, but it also seems to wash extremely well.
I was very disappointed however with the cycle times. The length of these will probably mean that I will invariably use the quick wash, which compared with my previous machine is actually not that quick.

Lesley, Pontypool
Score 9.0/10+ The Short cycle is a very good option as some of the cycle times are over an hour. This option cuts down on the actual wash time when items only need a swill instead of a good, long wash.
- Not necessarily a bad point, but the cycle times are a lot longer than my previous machine, although the short cycle is very useful, as above.

Score 10.0/10+ As well as going for a cheaper washing machine we wanted one that looked good and this one does we were suprised at the lovely staff that fitted it for us and efficent delivery. we had no machine for over a week and used it for several loads straight away. it was up to the job and is much quieter than our old one! was easy to use and has lots of features very happy as had not heard of Beko before but asked around and heard no complaints.

Score 9.0/10+ Looks great, feels as well made as the 'premium' brands and replaces the same model that I left behind in my flat that I rented out so I knew it was going to be reliable.
- Won't spin very small loads, one jumper eg. Think the automatic load balancing thing is a bit over sensitive, both that I've had have been the same. Wish it had a 30 degree wash option on the shorter washes, long washes are very LONG!!
