New era of Bekos are not like the great ones from 10 years ago.
1/5
My previous washing machine was a superstar Beko that lasted 13 years so naturally I went for the latest Beko. Unfortunately I had to exchange the Beko B3W5841IW 8kg Washing Machine for the Bosch WAN282X2GB_SI Washing Machine because:
1. Mixed Load was missing from the default programs on the Beko, you had to download an app and sync via bluetooth and then download the Mixed Load setting.
2. Once I successfully downloaded the setting, I put the wash on at 3pm for a 2 hour program. But it kept going on and on and on and on and I couldn't get my clothes out until after 7pm. This really stressed me out.
3. My clothes were on an gimmicky iron fast/crease free setting and they came out more creased than I have ever seen them AND everything smelt musty as hell.
4. There is a massive known design flaw with the emergency drain hose, it retracted into the machine and was unable to get it out.
5. To fix it you would need to call out an official engineer at considerable cost as any DIY fixes would void any warranty.
All in all it was the worst purchase for me. If you are an old school Beko fan you won't like the new machines. Honestly I can't believe that a washing machine has stressed me out so much. The replacement Bosch is absolutely amazing by the way.
