It will be a refresh cycle or for 'worn once' clothes... Until this, Bosch had the shortest 'wash cycle' of the European machines at 15minutes.... But I have to say, that even as a refresh cycle, I wouldn't use it. I would much prefer to use a longer cold cycle and have more agitation than a very short (prob.6min) wash component where the water MAY get to 30c..... |

Lacking a steamer or a dryer with a nifty "steam refresh" feature, I'd use a 14-minute cycle for loads of dress and casual-dress pants. Mine rarely get soiled, but depending on the particular pant, they do get wrinkled after a day or two (or three) and a quick refresh to take out wrinkles and "resize" them is exactly what they need. |

it MUST be a refresh cycle surely? Saying that, my machines 'quick' wash takes 90 mins and that is with no heat! |

I think quickwashes are ok for lightly soiled clothes. My Beko 7kg washer does a fantastic 30 min quickwash. Its quite vigourous in wash action and doesn't hang about on getting through the rinses and spin. I use it alot on this program for smaller loads cause at the end of the day, the washing comes out clean. I first tried it on my mothers Beko when i accidently spilt spag bol down my white shirt and i was going out for the evening. I stuck it on the quickwash not really expecting it to come out clean in a short time and it did. Thats why i went out and bought a Beko for myself Steve |

...a 7kg Fisher and Paykel 'Beko' which as much as I loved the ASEA before it, is much much quieter. There is a 30min quick wash and a 'Daily Wash' cycle along with the usual suspects. She tends to use the Daily Wash with the time saver engaged for most things. Cycle is 40c and has a duration of 60min without and 45min with.... I can't fault this machine at all. |

I've mentioned in other posts that since Arcelik (don't laugh) bought Blomberg in 2002, the quality of Beko appliances has vastly improved...to the point where the majority of Blombergs are now rebadged Bekos... While this may sound a bad, I don't really care where the appliance is made so long as it lives up to the brands reputation...and Blomberg had a good reputation. ...so if Beko can keep this reputation going under the Blomberg name by selling rebadged machines, then I am happy to buy a Beko in that knowledge.... I firmly believe that this is one brand that has benefitted from buying another and they shouldn't be underestimated |
