I have had my Beko 12kg machine since the end of January. It's a great machine. The daily quick programme is brilliant for every day loads of lightly soiled stuff. The standard cycles aren't excessively long when you consider the amount of washing you can fit into it. The recirculating jet is deployed on most cycles and the machine also uses differing drum motions dependant on the cycle selected. The pump is quiet, as is the machine itself. What a surprising bonus is that the machine will add an extra rinse if there is a sudslock , even on the super quick and daily quick cycles, the machine also uses a decent amount of water to wash and rinse.I too looked at the Hoover machine but really couldn't justify spending an extra £200 for the gimmicky wifi connection, having said that the Hoover's drum is 81 litres verses the Beko's 72 litre. The plus point of the Beko is that the fast programmes work really well so you can get through lots of laundry quickly if need be. The Beko's build quality is pretty good , there are no buttons as such, just touch sensitive writing. Sadly my machine has developed a slight fault wher the door sometimes won't unlock after a cycle, I have an engineer coming out on Friday to fix the problem. Anything else you want to know just ask.

I got rid of my beko to buy the hotpoint s line washer. Totally regretted it and after five weeks I bought another beko but the 8kg model. They are great machines. As said previous the daily quick wash is brilliant and you can go right up to 90c which takes 91 minutes and the machine uses plenty of water as well which is great. In between rinses and spins it flushes fresh water through to clear any suds
I've bought all the top machines at some point over the years and unless beko drastically change their machines I won't be buying any other brand anytime soon | ||

The whitegoods... One is really interesting, in his opinion, with regards for weight ratings we are being had for a total con. | ||

Capacity
Our consumer magazine had two or three dryers pop open during the cycle because the load (at max capacity) pushed the door open as it became drier and expanded. I'd like to see how wrinkled those fabric must have been once the load had finished.
In a later issue, the magazine said that it was now okay - to achieve the stated max capacity - if you leave no more room at the top of the drum and if you have to close the door with slight force. *yikes* | ||

I agree, manufacturers should state drum volume as well as " supposed" capacity. Beko quote drum volume for all their machines, as do Bosch and Hotpoint. Other manufacturers are less forth coming. I think people in the UK get slightly confused by KG ratings as well, we still have a weird mixture of metric and imperial measures in our minds. For example, personally I have difficulty imagining what a 12kg load would look like but I know for sure my machine could not handle 26.45Lbs of laundry!!
I decided on the Beko machine after my sister got her 8kg machine, I was taken with how flexible the cycles were and how well the daily quick programme worked. I had a 10kg Zanussi Lindo for eight months but got fed up of waiting hours for it to do one load. A 60deg cotton wash with extra rinse ( an option that was really needed) took 4hrs 2 mins for a full load , where as the Beko will do a 60 deg cottons wash in 2hrs 12 and rinse really well without selecting extra rinse, so I can get two big loads of towels done in the time it would've took for one. Granted, the results in the Zanussi were impeccable but because the Beko uses more water the results are just as good. I did consider a few other machines, what I found useful was to read the online user manuals for the machines I was interested in. They give a better indication of the machines capabilities that the advertising blurb on the websites. I then went to Currys to check out the machines in person, that way you get a feel for build quality , before coming home and ordering online. I'm slightly annoyed that now you can get the Beko 12kg for as little as £349, less than I paid for mine, but at least I've not had to wait hours for a wash to complete for the last two months 😊 | ||

There used to be a rule of thumb that each kg of dry clothes needs at least 10 litres of drum volume for proper washing.
If I had to choose between the Hoover and Beko I`d take the Beko but I always cringe a little when I hear about those vast kg-ratings in those tiny drums along with endless wash times. It seems that in favor of efficiency excessive creasing and wear on clothes is no longer important. | ||
