Well tonight I did a small load on the default cupboard dry setting consisting of towels and bath matt and couple of t shirts and a pair of trackies. Only things that came out "cupboard" dry were the trackies. Everything else was still too damp so I am not sure why the default options are not working now. Was fine the first time round.
So if you have cupboard dry and then extra dry what is the point in having a separate dryness level setting when you can use the extra dry program which seems 5 mins longer than adding the top dryness level on.
Gonna press the dry button next time hopefully that will sort it.

Panasonic Inverter heat pump dryer
Hows this for a heat pump dryer! I have inverter air con in my house this technology is fantastic:
http://www.panasonic.co.uk/html/en_...or+High+Energy+Efficiency/10275301/index.html
Inverter Technology
This enables a heat pump dryer to run the drying process with optimum power. Compared to conventional dryers that can't change compressor rotation speed, an inverter model significantly reduces wasted energy consumption for efficient operation.

3 videos along the bottom must say very similar design to the beko.

We have a siemens heat pump dryer and its pretty good albiet has a few niggles, the buttons are touch sensitive and rather fiddly in the way that they work and the other day it played up and kept telling me the box was full and it wasnt and the top and housing for the water box was soaking (but I have a feeling that fingers aka Mia pulled the water box out slightly lol)
it dries really well and the sensors are pretty spot on, would have had it for 2yrs in June
I have a gorenje USElogic condenser dryer in my wash house and someone plugged it into an energy meter to see how much it used compared to the siemens heat pump dryer and they both use around about the same amount of energy which shocked me lol
the gorenje is rated B and the siemens is rated A-60% but both of them are amazing bits of kit and are highly recomended

I have read through the panasonic heat pump manual and then again at mine and seems that I may have got the wrong items in the dryer on the cupboard dry.
I shouldnt mix towels in with t shirts etc. But I guess cos its 8kg I am trying to put it all in together which I possibly can do but need to increase the drying level so I will press the + button on the next load I do and see how I get on.
I might have been lucky first few times.

Me too, since the 90s and the thing is just amazing! You save energy and comfort is much better!
Panasonic also has inverter microwaves but with all its appliances, other than hifi and video equipment, quality is actually quite shoddy! Figures that stand by power of the last line of inverter microwaves is a whopping 31W and loads of complaints for burned inverter modules!!! The only thing I would save in the bunch are the A/C equipment, but I wouldn't trust my business on them, only for domestic use!
All in all, I wouldn't ever trust Asian manufacturers for home appliances, they look and feel of very low quality and assistance is terrifying! God spare me from ever buying Samsung or LG as an example
and the "classic" Panasonic quality assistance net is only for brown appliances and not home appliances! So you can't trust them neither! :O
Give me Italian made forever (or at least a Beko camouflaged as low end SMEG ahhahah)

Lg air con and tvs
I have two lg tvs both of which are superb quality and reliable and the air con also works very well.
I wouldn't say they are too unreliable lg is one of the biggest air con manufactures. Yes they are more budget but certainly not bottom.

Will be doing another wash tmrw
Weekly...
...towel load in the dryer using cupboard dry with "dry+" worked perfectly, this ran whilst at work so cannot say whether it ran for less time than using the extra dry setting.
Let us know how you get on

WARNING - Bosch Heatpump dryer does not reverse!
Just a word of warning, the Bosch heatpump dyers rotate in one direction only!
Our Bosch heat pump machine is a bit of a disappointment to be honest. It won't dry sheets without turning them into a complete ball.
I didn't even think to check that a dryer at that price range reverses. It's a feature I would normally take for granted.
If I were you, I'd look at a mid-range Electrolux or something like that instead.

Suds:
Do you separate things out for the Beko such as t shirts, jeans, shirts etc or do you mix the load up.
Seems mixing the load up ends up with some things damper than others.
However I notice the reverse tumble on the beko literally lasts about 2 seconds if that so bedding and sheets sometimes come out tangled.

Did a load yesterday. Mixed load of hand towels, t shirts, pair of jeans and 2 hoodies. On cupboard dry + setting and all came out fine but hoodies had damp hoods still but they would have been wearable as only hoods were damp.
