Michelle, Plymouth , “Frequent user” More like this »

+ The daily wash is a quick wash and great for barely soiled items to freshen them up. The delay start is also extremely useful and the count down to when the wash is finished helps me organise my time and is a brillliant feature.

- What annoys me most of all is the fact that the machine automatically chooses the spin speed when a programme is selected. It can be changed but only to a lower spin speed. I cannot choose a higher one.eg the machine decides a programme has an 800 rpm and I want a 1200 one and it won't let me change up.The spin on the machine is not very effective and therefore I have to have an extra spin cycle on a lot of washes.
A definite bad point as I use a tumble drier from time to time and the clothes are to wet to put in.

+ I like the large door and the choice of programs. Find I can wash a lot of things using handwash adn this is a great feature. Its also much quicker and gives better results than my previous machine.

- Too soon to say. Hope it lasts a while before conking out.

- AMOUNT OF WATER USED TO RINSE - IF YOU'RE ECO MINDED, WHICH I'M NOT. NEEDS TO ADD MORE WATER TO INITIAL WASH, ESPECIALLY IF WASHING A NUMBER OF TOWELS.

+ Whaterver cycle you select the LED display shows how long it will take and counts down through the cycle. I love the short wash option - you can do a short wash at 15 - 90 degrees and also vary the spin speed. There easy to set childlock is very useful and the large wash load is great for a family. This is the best machine I have owned.

+ Was bit unsure about purchasing the Beko as the name was not one well known to us. However having always purchased so called "top quality" brand machines on the assumption that they would be more reliable, had proven to be a misapprehension. For the price the amount of features including the quick wash and the drum size this was the best machine we could find. The build quality is as good as any other machine we have had. Would thoroughly recommend.

- None.

+ Good value for money with an A+A class machine, a good load size of 8kg along with a large access door. Features are all excellent.

- The only annoying factor is occasionally when starting to spin, it tends to bounce around and make a noise, but is probably adjusting the load evenly and then runs quietly. (The feet have been adjusted and is solid to the floor).

+ Fantastic for large families as the size of the drum allows up to 8kgs in any one wash. Great variety of cycles depending on what you wash etc... Possibility to add extra features such as pre-wash or an extra rinse. Very fast spin allowing for reducing drying time.

- Washes with extra features can take up to 3 hours, but in my view, this is counter balanced by the excellent quality of the washing.

+ The daily quick wash programme is fantastic, the only programme you probably need. Spinning leaves clothes really dry and the delay start is useful if you want your washing all ready for drying when you get up in the morning.

- The knob on the front of the machine does not invert which can be difficult to access a drawer if it opens against it.

You can take the spin cycle off completely and spin at a speed of your choice and also choose the wash temp on most programs. Very pleased indeed.
