Finally, I ordered this Beko (July 2013), as I said to myself: "If these should hold 3-4 years, I'm happy because all that is older than on electrical equipment is anyway a bottomless pit in terms of the power consumption ".
After our Beko WMB 71643 now, is over 5 months in use, I can only say that we are very satisfied. Machine is silent, washed thoroughly, wash smells days later after fresh, is simple to use, easy setup and technically more than OK!
We have the washing machine before the first time they have put into operation, entkalt! We bought a powder anti-limescale from AEG (about 5) and use the launcher of the washing machine (as described in the operating instructions).
We provide in addition to every wash descaling (Calgon is too expensive for us, we use of D & M (with thinking) tablets).
Résumé: Super machine at an unbeatable price-performance ratio. Strong buy recommendation.
