Hi Guys

I have never uploaded a video before on here so this is a first for me.
As some of you know I have just bought a new Beko washing machine and I have uploaded two videos, first one is short and it shows the rinse level and the second one is longer and shows the no nonsense spin, it doesnt care if its not balanced it just kicks in and builds up to 1400rpm

Hope you enjoy

Robbie

Not good.
If they spin to unbalanced they will shake itself to bits.
I would definitely choose a machine with balance sensor in future, especially if choosing a cheaper brand such as Beko, Whirlpool or Candy.

The machine is a TOL machine and I've had better make machines that spend ages trying to balance before spin and wont reach the full spin speed. The early hotpoints used to go straight into spin balanced or not and I've never seen one of those shake them shake to bits.

Excellent!

These are fantastic machines for the price, certainly the best mid range brand! We have owned a WMB 61631 W for a couple of months now and it really blows most other brands out of the water in terms of build quality and performance, not to mention value for money!

I like that they aren't too fussy on spin, nothing worse than sitting around for ages just waiting for a single spin burst! I wouldn't have even said it was especially out of balance in the video. :)

Personally Beko are the only modern brand I'd even consider now (apart from Miele if I had the money!) they really have proven themselves and their machines have improved vastly since they entered the market! I'm very hard to impress when it comes to washing machines but these really have impressed me!

Hope you have many years of faithful service out of it.

Matt

I agree

I think that's a good spin! A friend has a Samsung which can spend up to 15 mins trying to spin and then either gives up leaving sodden clothes or ramps up to 1200 in one go causing it to jump around so much it terrified their dog and snapped one of its legs ( the washer not the dogs leg ! ) my vintage bendix has no electronics just a solenoid shifter so goes from wash to full spin in 3 seconds regardless of the drum distribution add to this it only tumble one way and add a load of bedding means a rolled up tube of wet bedding trying to spin! I have to stand over it and un ravel the mess in case it shook itself to bits but it must be made to do so !
I have a beko dishwasher and love it as much as you can! A very good basket very cheap good programmes, performs well , it has a 30 min quick wash which really works so I think a good brand if the washer fairy doesn't deliver us all Miele !

Thanks Matt.

I've had loads of brand new machines and this has to be the best so far. It was meant to be 389 and I got it on sale for 289 so 100 quid knocked off but I would of easily paid the full price.

Watching it go through some of the programme's it reminds me of the earlier hotpoints in some ways.
I've noticed the difference in wash performance already as I do a lot of white hot washes
Thanks for the positive comments Matt

I feel rather vindicated by the Beko good news stories over the last year or so knowing that 'us lot' are definitely difficult to please when it comes to white goods.

I said it years ago that Beko would be the brand to watch given they had bought Blomberg and appeared to be putting Blomberg technology and quality in their machines.

As a brand, Beko have only just launched in Oz under their own name having been rebadged by Fisher and Paykel for some years and, more recently, Euromaid. My mother replaced a 20 year old ASEA Cylinda 12000 with a 7kg machine from F&P. With the exception of a circuit board glitch right out of the box, it has been a great machine for the past 3 years or so.

They'll certainly be what we'll be looking at in preference to a Thai built Electrolux/Zanussi at the same money or a Thai made Bosch at 50% more!

Great video of your new machine. Love the deep rinses.

Out of Balance sensors

My vintage Miele W754 S does not have any out of balance spin sensors and has no problems going into a spin. Also it does not distribute the clothes around the drum like modern machines but goes into a spin as it tumbles the clothes as in a wash action.

Mind you it does weigh a ton and took 3 of us to lift it out of a van.

Cheers.

Paul
