I've just found some new stuff from Whirlpool and Beko.

Doesn't look like they're available in the UK yet but some of it may have been knocking around Europe for a while...


Firstly Whirlpool have launched something called Infinite Care, with a new drum...

The right hand Beko is the new washer dryer with air cool technology, brought to my attention by Newwave1

The new Whirlpools look interesting, love the look of the baffles.

There is also an InfiniteCare dryer drum. Looks like the one on the washer but its drum vanes extend over the air inlet at the back of the drum so air is blown into them and over the laundry.

Loving the look of the new beko range, very smart, and it looks like they got a 11kg model very interesting to see what they retail for.

Poor they are not avaible in Germany yet. Even though the quality will probably the same (is there a word for worse then worst case?), I would like to get a Whirlpool heatpump dryer with that drum...

Beko Heatpump dryer .........

so far has been well worth the money, I am quite impressed at being able to dry more items that high temperature dryers prevented, granted it takes a little longer but its nice things are no longer baked dry and what needs ironing is so much easier to do.

The current F&P front load machines are Haier...they may well have been designed by F&P, but they are made in China and sold as Haier everywhere else.

The original F&P machines were a Beko AND a Bauknecht....The Bauknecht ones had issues and were discontinued with Beko machines continuing in several capacities

Beko supplied F&P right up until the last few months. They're good machines. Use a reasonable amount of water and have a good range of programmes.

My mother has a Beko supplied F&P machine...it replaced an ASEA Cylinda 12000 which she loved for 20 years, but the Beko is better in many ways...certainly quieter!

Ron, the reason for that will be because haier now own 90 percent of f&p shares. Haier really do make beko look like quality

Never, ever underestimate a manufacturer and their ability to change, particularly the Chinese.

Beko weren't the best of quality and then they bought Blomberg.....

Maytag was renowned for good quality, and then look what happened to them....

You can add Hoover, Hotpoint (though apparently improving) and Zanussi to that list of previous better quality machines that are now owned by others and where the quality has been removed to a degree or two.

New Beko

Same door opening, just bigger plastic frame around it, making impression it's bigger. Kinda remind me of Miele's design like W 1613 for example

Miele or Siemens - that's what it looks like.
