I beg to differ. I had the base model 1000rpm Beko 5 years when I first left home. It belonged to the flat I as renting at the time. Whilst it washed well, it took FOREVER to wash anything. 2:55 for a boil wash is excessive. My Miele will do it 2 hours WITH a prewash.
I miss the days of 50 minute cycles and a mechanical timer. |

@ Aquacycle: Our miele takes 2:29 on cottons 90*c and that's without a prewash, and a normal 40*c wash takes the same time as well, the cottons 60*c wash takes 1:59 minutes. |

I always use the short option on my Miele. A 60C cotton wash takes 85mins and everything comes out spotless. A full load of clothing on a 40C cottons wash takes 90mins, if it is not quite a full load the wash time drops to about an hour. I only ever deselect the short option if I have a very dirty load. For my laundry needs long wash times are not necessary.
I know someone with one of the new Hotpoint machines (8kg capacity ), the standard cotton 40c wash takes over 3hrs!!! I showed him the time saver button now the wash is done in half the time. |

Im the same Paul. The beko took 2:45 on cottons 60*c with extra rinse and a prewash as the load had tattoo ink on them, the machine got them spotless! Tom |

I cannot comment on the time dropping as ours doesn't show the remaining time on the display. |

Really? In all the online manuals is an chapter about rinses and it say 60°+=2 rinses. May be kind a bug, like our privileg sensation 9415 we had between our 2 mieles had a 40° cotton eco with short, which was not supposed to be indeed. |

On a 90 with pre-wash and 4 rinses takes 2.19 I set it to 4 as I found the suds were still in the rinse water if only 3 which is its default I can change it to more but have found 4 to be spot on.
I can also change how long it washes once at temperature and its set at 20 mins seems to be plenty for all I throw at it :o) Austin |

40 and 50 washes on daily quick are brilliant :) but I do wonder what items can be washed at 80*c as this is also an available temperature.. Tom |

Mine is also slow. It does have a 60-minute Daily Wash cycle at 40C but it's only good for smallish loads of four kilos. If I put a larger load in there (the manual says up to six kilos) it won't fully heat up the water. Instead, it just drains after the fixed main wash time is over. I wish it had a more powerful heater like washers used to have.
The TOL Beko even has recirculation. :-) The Panasonic as well, of course. |

Jon, I completely agree. Whilst I would always encourage people to go for higher end machines if they can afford it, such as Miele, Bosch/Siemens, AEG or top end Zanussi's, for someone in need of a machine and on a budget, you cannot go wrong with a Beko. They wipe the floor with everything else in the lower end of the price range, especially Haier and Vestel made machines.
My best friend's Beko will be 5 years old this year and washes for 2 adults and 2 young children (5 & 3 years old) and *touch wood* has so far not missed a beat. It's the lower end 1200rpm variable spin model and was £189 new. Cannot go wrong for that price! |

I'm writing this from my phone so don't know if the YouTube link will work.
That model has recirculation. It's the one with the chrome door. The video is called BEKO WMB81045LC.mp4 target="_blank">www.youtube.com/watchQUESTIONMARK... |
