Anyone have a Beko tumble dryer?

If so, do you rate it? Looking at 8kg condenser. Cannot believe how hard it is proving to find somewhere with a dryer in stock! TIA.

Yep, had it for years and never a problem. I hope I haven’t jinxed it by writing this.

SomethingNastyInTheBallPool · 08/12/2021 13:40

Yup - we’ve had ours a couple of years and (fingers tightly crossed!) no problems. It’s quiet and it dries stuff.

hilbil21 · 08/12/2021 13:43

We do. A heat pump one. It's good, no issues Smile

Squirrelblanket · 08/12/2021 13:45

We've got one and it's brilliant.

Moderate. I’ve just inherited one in my new house. It’s only a couple of years old and it’s ok but often doesn’t dry completely unlike my Bosch

RandomUsernameHere · 08/12/2021 13:52

Me. It's an 8kg condenser, about 3 years old and very happy with it so far.

Don't they catch on fire?

ineedaholidayandwine · 08/12/2021 14:10

Thanks for the thread OP, i need a dryer too, wanting a heat pump one and the Beko's sound good, stock however is awful!

Starcaller · 08/12/2021 14:14

We have a Beko condenser dryer. No complaints! Everything comes out bone dry and been using it heavily for five years with no issues.

SpiritInTheNight · 08/12/2021 14:16

I just got a Beko heat pump tumble dryer on AO as there was no stock of vented ones anywhere.

I’m really pleased with it!

I've got a beko condenser. I bought one from fb martlet place for £80 4 years ago. It started failing couple months ago but I used it to death.

Bought identical machine from a used appliance dealer for £110. It is pristine. I love it it's perfect.

I went 2nd hand again because it was so hard to get a new one!!

JadeSeahorse · 08/12/2021 14:29

I bought the 8kg condenser from Beko 2 years ago for my dd and it’s a great machine for the money.

Would definitely buy one again.

ineedaholidayandwine · 08/12/2021 14:31

Can those of you with heat pump models please please share the model number?

Tricked2003 · 08/12/2021 14:40

Mine is 10 years old and still going strong!!! I also have a Beko washing machine and dishwasher....... I would recommend 😁

I've been using Beko tumble's for years and never had an issue...however I'm not an idiot and clean the filter after every cycle.

Mine is Beko DHR83431G 8Kg Heat Pump Tumble Dryer

I bought an 8kg condenser in the Black Friday sale. Couldn't find a 7kg one anywhere. Now glad I went for the 8kg one. So far, so good but it does take more than one drying session to get towels dry - even on the extra dry setting. Also, after I bought it, my sister told me there was a better model that had an eco button rather than an eco setting. She said that made drying cheaper. I don't know how that would work but I've learned not to question! 😉

ConstantlyIrksome · 08/12/2021 15:13

I've got a Beko 8kg condenser, it's 7 years old and I literally never empty the fluff out unless it orders me to. It's never caught on fire and does the job fine. Now I'm on child number 2 though I am finding a bigger drum would be useful though as it does take a little while to dry a full load (maybe 1.5 hours at a guess?) but it depends how much laundry you do. My basket is NEVER empty.

@Oneforthemoneytwo and @madisonbridges, that’s exactly what I don’t want to hear! My 12 year old Bosch has died and I can’t get one for love nor money. Am heartened to see it’s not just my area that has a shortage! Okay, I’ve ordered it and will cross my fingers. You guys seem to give Beko good reviews overall. We have had a Beko fridge-freezer living in the garage and it has been going strong for nearly 20 years. I do want dry towels and bedlinen though and it will do many, many loads a week!

madisonbridges · 08/12/2021 15:31

Sorry about that. Bed linen is not a problem but towels do take longer - depending on their thickness I suppose. Anyway, we got it on the recommendation of others who think it's great so I'm sure yours will be fine. Maybe it's just mine - or my towels are super luxurious. 😉

AbsolutelyFuckinFabulousDarlin · 08/12/2021 15:37

I've had all singing, dancing, bleeping, pinging, auto weighing washing, dumble dryers
Bought the cheapest dryer I could get after they all died after a short time and call out fees 🙄
Not a condenser but it has never gone wrong
Probably about 10 years old now.
I'd buy Beko every time now

TitilatedOcelot · 08/12/2021 15:44

I have a Beko heat pump one. It does a much better job of drying than the Miele one in my old house and was half the price.

DroopyClematis · 08/12/2021 15:46

Another Beko condenser dryer owner here. It's brilliant.
We chose it as it is guaranteed to work at low temperatures ( in a garage )
Beko freezer for the same reason.
