Far exceeds expectations for the price
5/5
Purchased this BEKO Dishwasher as a replacement for a much more expensive Bosch Unit, that had last 15 years and finally died. I just wanted something suitable to last a few years before changing our whole kitchen in the future, and chose this after a fair amount of research.
Ordering from AO was easy, and the upgraded membership meant the delivery drivers fitted the dishwasher and took away the old one.
I must say, the Beko machine has far exceeded my expectations in terms of performance. The dishes are coming out spotlessly clean and it's very easy to use. It's certainly got a lot less features than the previous Bosch Unit, and a loading options etc. but i can't complain about the ability to clean the dishes.
There's not timer or any indication to tell you how long a cycle takes, or how long is left. It's a minor complain, but i did find it useful on our previous Bosch machine that you could tell if there was 2 mins or 2 hours left on the wash cycle. There's also no separate cutlery tray, and this Beko washer uses a cutlery basket instead, which takes space in the loading bay of the bottom shelf so reduces the amount of dishes, pots and pans you can get in there. The upside of this however, is that because there are only two shelves to put dishes there's actually more height on the top shelf to be able to put pint glasses and tall glasses on there - which is useful.
All in all, for the cheap price, i can accept a lack of some functions, and am delighted with how easy it was to order, be delivered and the washing performance of the machine. Would highly recommend.
The lognevity of the brand will be interesting to see, but the 10 year parts warranty is a little peace of mind.
