Good choice going with the Beko and being a WY model it will have the twin recirculation jets. You'll notice that the Beko feels a bit more substantial than the Hotpoint.
I only used the Cottons Eco cycle on my Beko a couple of times as the rinsing was very poor and you couldn't add an extra rinse. Having said that I had the 12kg model which differed from the other WY models as it only had the one jet. I'm sure you love the Bekomwhen it arrives, I look forward to hearing all about it. |

Just checked the Beko website again and I'm not sure if the model you ordered will have a jet. The 10, 11 and 12 kg WY's have jets but the site says the WJ 8kg machine has jets. I'm not sure if this is a typo, Beko can be inaccurate with their specifications. Either way, I'm sure you'll be happy with your new machine. The jet less machines use slightly more water for the wash and rinses plus they use distribution tumbles.

I like how the engineer uses the 'overloading' excuse. I think today that the marketing dept is so focused on capacity, that the machines can't handle the loads they are intended to wash. I notice the drum is 62 litres for the 9 kg model. I have a Miele 9 kg and I think the most i've loaded it to is 7 - 7.5 kg. To get 9 kg in, I think I wouldn't be able to close the door. In the past a 62 litre drum would've been rated 6 - 6.5 kg based on the 1:10 ratio rule.

Beko are overly optimistic with their KG ratings I'm afraid. The 8kg machines have a 55 litre drum, 9kg have 64 litre drums as does the older style 10kg machine. The newer style 10kg have 65 litre drums and the 11 and 12 kg machines both have a 72 litre drum. Even these measurements aren't a true reflection of the actual drum size as Beko, along with some other manufacturers, include the door boot space in their drum measurements.
