right, i suppose now that your wondering why as ive only just plumbed the bendix in.
well my dads girlfriends niece is moving at the end of the month and wants us to look after her washing machine for a year as she has a built in model in the new house but she insists that her own machine is to be used for the year or until she moves again, and my dads girlfriend is interested as well because of the bigger 6kg drum and faster 1200rpm spin, so it is being delivered to me on the 31st so i will be taking the bendix out of service on the Sunday ready for the Tuesday when it comes, of course i will be maintaining it when it arrives, first thing ill do with it is get a maintenance wash done and give it a good clean. ill keep you updated, would like to know what you think of whats going to happen.

might have to get rid of a washer
when the beko arrives we might be giving the zanussi away to someone else, i just about won the decicion for the zanussi to go and not the others (phew) and hopefully it will give us a little more room for when the beko goes after the year, also my dads girlfriend isnt bothered about wash times with this one so that i am pleased about, she also said 'we'll see how good we get on with this one and i might buy a brand new machine' so im hoping that is the case, but i dont think it will be a miele yet :(

just realized i wont be able to move ANY machines around until the Beko arrives as its coming through the bottom door which the Hotpoint and crusader are sat by so ill have to move those then stack the crusader on the 9534 then bring the Zanussi into the hallway, put the Bendix where is Zanussi is now and FINALLY ill be able to put the Beko in...argh! so annoying

its in...
well the Beko was put in on Tuesday when delivered and its first wash was a cotton 90 with prewash and extra rinse and all its been since then is horrid, rinses are low so it dosent rinse well, sudslocks most of the time, and if it sudslocks then you get 5 mins of pausing, 2 second burst fills, 2 second burst drains. but the 1200 rpm and 6kg is allot better to have, the pump is nice and quiet and the motor itself isnt too bad either but its not sounding all that good, ill try and get a video of it if i see it doing it because i have no idea what it is and how bad it is.

 If you're getting sudslock and everything else is working (pump etc), the you are using too much detergent compared to the level of soiling in the clothes and the water hardness ....it is as simple as that...
Additionally, is the pump running while it is spinning? I know it sounds silly to ask, but my mothers Fisher and Paykel (which is a Beko rebadge) wasn't when it was new out of the box...and needed a new board...seems there was a faulty batch of control boards a few years ago....
Don't forget that what you 'used to do in the old machine' is to some degree no longer relevant to a new one. | ||

We have a couple of Beko machines where I work. When washing big loads it appears that the pump is not fast enough to remove the water when the machine starts to spin and creates a mountain of suds, especially the first spin after the wash. I agree with Phil though, these machines are not good at rinsing, if I am using the machines I select extra rinse and try not to load them too full.

I am a support worker, I support people with various difficulties in their own homes so get to use a few washers, mostly Beko, Indesit and a couple of Zannussi's. I quite like the Zannussi "easy iron", 1600 spin and the super quick option will do a load of cottons at 40 deg in 50 mins, 55mins if you wash at 60 deg.

I have found that any P&G powder is very sudsy in my machine to the point where I get told to "check detergent". Liquitabs are not as bad. I am using persil tablets for whites and small and mighty for everything else at the moment and find they rinse out a lot better even in our soft water. How do you find Surf at cleaning?

Beko washing machines
I bought a Beko WM5120 washing machine in August 2010, so far so good, my parents use it as i got it for them, as the Zanussi Broke Down. And yes its annoying when it sudslocks in the interim spin, but overall it cleans clothes fine, and does what its supposed to do.
and it does depend on what detergents you use, My parents use Surf Tropical and Persil Colour. they generally have no complaints. | ||

amazingly enough
Beko are built better than some of the stuff they have out there. ours is nearly a year old and nothing has gone wrong, my parents only use it twice a week.
they are happy with it, and it should last quite a while as they do hot washes in it for sheets and towels, and use Biological Powder, so the drum stays fresh, and the door is always left ajar, insisted by me. all the washers we have have owned have lasted at least a decade =] at the end of the day, its a no fuss, simple basic machine, you put clothes in it, turn it on and walk away and it cleans your clothes | ||

the early models of beko were quite poor in the QC section (quality control) but ever since arcilik-beko bought out blomberg bekos quality has improved quite a bit!. | ||
