Delivery:
The machine as previously agreed by phone and delivered even taken up in the kitchen.
Installation:
The installation was not all that complicated. The correct height is adjusted quickly. Practically here especially that the rear screws can be adjusted from the front.
Installation front panel:
We wanted the complicated procedure with the front panel does not do as intended (seemed too complicated), we have the front panel easily, black fixed with tesa tesa 55228-00000-01 Extra strong Velcro strips. This allows the plate align wonderful and is also easy to remove. Of course, the two screws for fixing should not be forgotten at the end.
After that you must still adjust the tension of the door. We have the scale adjusted precisely at a 45 ° angle so that it plops itself still too easily snaps neither downwards.
Variability:
The great advantage of this machine are the many options. The bars of the plate holder can rows are folded and unfolded. The height of the upper basket is very easy to adjust. Even the cutlery basket is variably adjustable.
The washing programs:
We mainly use the reference program 3 (55 ° C, about 2 hours 50 minutes) and are very happy with the result. The dishes are very clean. Once a month we are still using the 70 ° C program (duration about 2 hours). However, we use no longer as they used tabs, but meanwhile powders and separate salt and rinse aid. The cost of the funds have thus again drastically reduced (Tabs are simply more expensive). The machine dosed optimally, it can be observed neither streaks nor powder residue.
Drying:
One of the most kritisiertesten points here's the dry performance. Well, we are very satisfied! The reason is that the Beko just as bad or dries like our predecessors (most recently a unit of the universe).
As a rule, plastic parts remain slightly moistened back (is on material) and also be found in the bottoms of the cups smaller water residues. But that's no problem! I prefer to that the machine is operating in an energy efficient and not a bunch must use power for the super drying fan.
What has this proven to be very effective is that before the end of the program to open the machine for about half an hour, then leave briefly escape the hot air and the baskets by shaking briefly. After you close the door again and allowed to dry the machine on. So you have 100% dry dishes at the end!
Energy consumption:
Compared to our previous model of the universe (BJ 2002) used this machine only half as much electricity and water, which is the week also noticeable difference when using 4 times with the time on the wallet.
Buy recommendation?
From our side, a very definite yes if you do not have excessive claims. The Beko has always been a product of the lower price segment in terms of good dishwasher. But ticks all value for money
We see the machine especially suitable for people with normal demands on the performance of a dishwasher, with increased demands on the energy saving and normal purse;)
