The quite unique reviews about service from Beko and seemingly strong variations in quality have made me hesitate.
I just got but then opted for the Beko because she was 1st fastest available (4 days) in relation to the other candidate machine with min. 12 days and 2. the WMB 71634 PTE for over 1 1/2 years with my parents without trouble doing its job.
Was appointed the machine with installation services and waste disposal. It was delivered on the company DHL. Delivery (timeliness), installation (execution) and waste disposal were carried out to complete satisfaction.
For device:
1. Optics / quality
The machine is better processed as it suggests the price. Gap dimensions and fit the parts used to make a "valued" impression. Even with the more than 1 1/2 years old machine my parents there is no "wear and tear".
2. noise
Here go so well in the reviews the opinions correctly apart. Compared to my old Siemens Top loaders Beko is whisper quiet. Both in the wash mode, as in the spin mode with 1600 1 / min. Therefore, I give her the vote pleasantly quiet.
3. Programs
The machine has the right program for my opinion for every wish. In addition to standard programs such as cooking, coloreds and easy-care, there are many special and additional programs such as short programs, Refresh, wool, hand wash, for Dark, animal hair removal and much more. Probably already too much "normal" for the washer.
4. Water consumption
Here there is heavy consumption differences depending on the program. Consumption varies (factory specifications) places violently for washing programs.
Examples:
Load 7 kg program Cottons 60 ° 72 liters
Load 7 kg program Cottons Eco 60 ° 44 liters for almost double the runtime
Load 7 kg program Cottons Eco 40 ° 64 liters (why at 20 ° ± 20 liters more water I still do not understand completely)
Load 3 kg Dark program 40 ° 82 liters * gasp *
Load 1.5 kg wool program 40 ° 56 liters
Then come to the consumption values for a few liters more to do so if one chooses additional rinsing or animal hair removal. According to instructions from the Pet Hair Removal program are added approximately 30% more consumption.
This means the program non-ferrous / Cottons 7 kg load, come again to 22 liters in addition to (additional program is not available for all programs can be selected, such as at the eco programs, Baby Protect, wool, Dark and the one or other program)
In a multi-person household or frequent launderers who would like to use the additional programs, a comparison with other manufacturers worth.
Here's an example with the Bauknecht WA PLUS 634 available here at Amazon for just 359.-.
Beko = load 3 kg Dark program 40 ° 82 liters
Bauknecht = 4 kg loading program Dark 40 ° 40 liters
The Bauknecht need times loose 42 liters less water at 1 kg more load in the program Dark.
5. Animal Hair Removal
I have 2 Norwegian Forest Cats and thus also every now and then a "cat nap accident" :-). That means it gets lost every now and then a piece of laundry that are covered literally with cat hair and accordingly then saw all the laundry from washing after.
I have this "cat nap accident" simulated to see how the clothes after coming out of the machine. The result has convinced the clothes were not completely free, but compared to the past is the result of more than satisfactory.
But now comes the but:
1. I can not say now whether it has brought the Pet Hair Removal, or simply to the generation gap of the machine (old machine over 20 years old)
2. I have no comparison to wash without Pet Hair Removal. So could be that would come out the laundry without the additional program virtually hair free. That I have to try.
6. odors
we read here in the recessions that smells very strongly the machine at the beginning. I can confirm that, the thing developed in the 1st washes a unüberrichbaren "smell", but then subsides and disappears after a few uses.
In summary, despite the things like water usage, odor agrees the value for money for me as a single household. The laundry is clean, smelling fresh (not old wonderful compared to ner than 20 years box) and programs in more than sufficient choices available. If the machine then so reliable over the duration of works like with my parents, I am very satisfied.
For frequent washer and Mehrpersonenhashalt I recommend due to the different places, but water consumption especially with the additional programs, take a look at the instructions of the manufacturer. As may "cheaper" may a 100.- expensive washing machine over time.
