Argh I hate shopping for things like this

Our washing machine has died and Im looking for a new one.

Found this and it has 7kg wash load, Energy Rated A+AA, 1600rpm spin etc etc and only £250 for all of that

Also free delivery and 5 year guarantee offer with the company.

Shall I just order it or am I missing something?

i have a beko fridge and im quite happy with that.

Do you think it matters?

Will i notice a lovely big difference with a AAA 7kg 1600rpm one to my 12 year old ZZZ 800rpm 4kg one?

does anyone actually use more than 2 programmes on any appliance? They always boast 20 odd programmes an surely ot even half of them must get used.

Beko are a Turkish brand.

They tend to do well (better than Hoover) in reliability tests.
We had a Beko fridge once and that was good.

Checking Which? ... that one isn't reviewed, but three out of the Bekos reviewed are poor at rinsing, including one which still doesn't rinse well when using the 'extra rinse' option. Otherwise they don't score brilliantly, but seem reasonable. Unfortunately they don't have reliability figures for Beko, which is often the most useful thing in Which? (Hoover are not great, and Hotpoint are the worst of the lot, btw).

Judging by price and model number, it's probably most like the one that gets the best score for Beko:

^A 7kg capacity Beko machine with plenty of good all-round cleaning ability that?s good for spin drying clothes, sheets and other items.

Wash programmes clean well, but are slow compared to other models. The cotton wash takes 2 and a half hours and the short wash takes over 90 minutes.

Rinsing isn't the best, but you can add an extra rinse if you're worried about people with sensitive skin. Other extra programmes include handwash, wool and easy iron.

This machine?s energy efficiency rating is AAA and it?s easy to use. We don't have sufficient data from our annual reliability survey to comment on Beko?s brand reliability.

The range includes white and silver models.

Pros: Good all-round cleaning. Easy to programme. AAA energy efficiency rating.

Cons: Lengthy programme times. Poor rinsing.^

She says very confidently having had her brand new Daewoo 1400rpm 7kg A+AA delivered and installed today.......compared to her old 900rmp Servis 5kg (supposedly LOL) one......it's WONDERFUL.

I was told that you don't really need a spin of more than 1200rpm - so if they do a model less than 1600rpm for a bit less it might be an even better option.

My mum has a beko washing machine an is very happy with it.

charliecat · 26/03/2007 18:18

that came from here btw:)

fannyannie · 26/03/2007 18:21

it was £350 including delivery, installation and taking the old one away - from Curry's.

it this one and it's wonderful - got what would have been at least 5 loads of washing (in my old machine) done in just 3 loads - and 2 of those I could have got more in - just didn't want to leave any.
