It's a Washing Machine & It works..

published

I normally go for the high end products but bought this to keep the husband happy with the cost.
It is quiet.
Washes the clothes well. Clothes are not worn by using this machine.
No chime/sound to let you know the load has finished, and seeing our laundry is downstairs that is a feature that I would like.
Sometimes I have to make sure that the start button is pressed hard to make sure it starts.. as we have had times where we have pressed start & the machine hasn't actually started.. it is not a soft touch button...
It is not a washing machine that I would recommend to someone.
So far it has not given us any grief in any way of break downs... but next time I'll be going for a higher end machine.

It's easy to use

published

The most straightforward washing machine iv'e ever had, it's so nice being able to see how long cycles and such will last, it only really has 2 downsides, 1 being that since it's a front loader you can't open it mid-cycle, but that's just inherent, the second being that it can take a minute or two to start sometimes, which is annoying when you're not sure if it's actually begun.

Great washing machine

published

This is my first front loader, and it is great! Easy to use, Thales a large load (full set of King sheets easily) the cothes come out clean, can use got or cold water, lots of settings and wash lengths. The washer is quiet and I would recommend this machine to anyone.

Easy

published

We recently brought this new washing machine. I can say it cleans our clothing so well whites seem whiter and use's little water and power. I love the quick 14 minute wash when in a hurry. It's very quite you have to keep a eye out as it doesn't finish with any sound. So I forget sometimes. But I love it

Great machine

published

I didn’t want a front loader because of back problems. Our old one died and my husband bought this but I wasn’t happy. But after using it for a few months, my opinion is changed. My mother is law’s expensive machine from another brand is horrible. Clothes come out actually dirty. But my machine cleans the clothes like they are new. Amazing results. I have also heard that the top loader washing machines ruin clothes and the front loaders don’t. I guess that’s true.

Decent quality machine

published

Bought this as a replacement for an older machine that started to give after 5 years. This hasn't missed a beat and gets used 5 - 10 times a week (big household), and well worth the price. I was hesitant about buying the brand Beko, but as far hasn't been any reason not to trust it.

good wash, unfortunately major fault

published

My beko machine has a good choice of washing cycles, even a short cycle which still gets my clothes clean. It also has a pet hair removal system and is good on water consumption, and pretty quiet. Unfortunately at just 18 months old it had a catastrophic fault when the counterweight broke, as it was still under a 2 year warranty Beko have replaced my machine with a new one, and my warranty begins again, I can honestly say the after sales service was excellent.

Great machine, incredible price!

published

Bought it at JB HI-FI during a sale for $584. I chose this machine based on size and wash cycle times. I do 2-3 loads a day so needed a short cycle without compromising wash quality. Very happy after 2 months, tried a few other cycles as well and so far it has been great, uses little water!

Wife punishes this and keeps going.

published

Washes and spin dries fantastic.
It does around 10 to 15 load a week and doesn't miss a beat.
I never used Beko before but now I think if their other products are half as good them I will give them a try.
I believe their washing machines are made in Turkey(Europe).
Very happy Customer

I only write what I don't like

published

I use it for 2 years, so far so good. What I found:
1. Very noisy compare with all machines that I had used in my life. No matter how I adjusted those legs, the bigger load the sharper vibration.
2. Buttons on the front panel don't feel good, I have to physically stay there until it works properly. I don't think I could manage it if i'm blind
3. Remember keep the machine dry by opening the door after run, in order to get better ventilation, I usually pull the detergent dispenser out a bit to let the machine breathe
Overall it's a good value one

Hi Vivien W. It will wash a queen size doona however the performance of the wash will be dependant on the thickness of the doona and the wash cycle you select, we would recommend using the Bedding & Blanket cycle. We usually recommend that you should have enough room to fit a hand span between the items in the washing machine and the top of the bowl to get a good quality wash performance. Thanks Beko.

No I'm sorry but I do not know! It's a bit annoying that they do not, because it's easy to forget hey.
Maybe set a small timer yourself.
