Beko quality has improved dramatically since they bought Blomberg in 2002. Starting with their more expensive machines and gradually progressing down the range.
I personally think the mid and higher end are not only good quality machines from a build perspective, they also wash well and have a solid range of programme options.
....and I'll say it again - I told you so :) |

Just reading this as mine is about to go on spin lol. It's faultless it just does it no problems right up to 1400rpm. I had a hotpoint before which was really fussy and took ages. Needless to say after 10 months and still under warranty it was given away as I hated it.
Nearly everyone I know has the same machine as me now cos they have seen how good it is. I've deffo boosted sales in the northwest of Liverpool lol |

It depends tbh, the mixed fabrics wash has timed levels which touch the seal and then the cotton and daily quick rinses are deep. Rob: will remember that when doing thick items. Tom |

So after 8 years and a lot of washing we've had to buy a new machine. The poor Westinghouse/Zanussi/Electrolux has finally had enough and the motor died. Have tried in vain to get carbon brushes easily (note the 'easily') here, but can't and a new motor was $352. One of the suspension struts is on it's way out again too.
Still, can't complain. She's physically 8 years old, but with 3 years of that doing 20 loads a week (9 years work), she's really about 14 years old mechanically.
So we've gone and bought a Beko WMB651441L. Delivery on Thursday.
Can't wait. First new major appliance in 8 years. CLICK HERE TO GO TO ronhic's LINK |
