Agreed,
Totally agree about not using it when you're not around; I won't either and mine isn't Beko.
I do have a Beko dryer in the Garage that is out of use at the moment, I am just awaiting to get round to repair number 5 on it (one heating element change and next repair will be 4th belt change).
It's 3 and a half years old. My sister bought a Beko dryer in May last year and it went faulty June this year (one month out of warranty). It's like it is timed just to last the warranty and then break. So totally know where you're coming from with your washers.
