Beko WME7247

[logixx]

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.

You really can't beat the current range of Beko machines for value for money.  Well built for the price, my mum has the 9kg version and my nana the 7kg, and they are both very happy with the performance.  Very quiet machines too (as quiet as my Miele), and after invesitgating inside mum's 9kg model is supported on 3 shock absorbers and heavy duty springs.

 

They aren't the best machines, but for the price and their decent performance you can't go wrong in terms of value for money.

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!

Hey guys, I will only say that the one problem I have with my beko is a cosmetic one and otherwise its fine, the 7kg drum in my beko is very generous as I have managed to fit in a king sized duvet inside it (though that will be the first and LAST time I ever do that again). It ploughed through mountains of washing in just a few hours which is very impressive
the indesit which shares its lodgings with the beko is very audible and can be heard when standing in the kitchen, the beko, I have to actually go out side to make sure I've started it, its that quiet

this is my 3 year old beko.

Which TOL Bekos have recirculation? Never seen one....
And how did you get that insane waterlevel on th 9kg one? You have adden some manually, don't you?

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

I believe the models with the inverter motors also have the jet system, as on logixx' video.

 

No, that is the standard rinse level.  It will fill halfway up the door if you select either the quick wash with a standard cycle, or on the Daily Quick cycle.
