With extra family staying for a couple of months, and plenty of wet weather around, I needed something quick, economical and reliable, so I opted for the cheapest machine I could find that could be delivered quickly. It turned out to be the Beko DRVS 62 W and I think I made the right choice.
It's C rated on energy but, even with heater power of 2000w, it didn't seem to make a huge impact on meter readings when used overnight on Economy 7. By using the 'sensor drying' mode, it seems to save quite a bit on electricity. The actual motor is only 200w, so cooler tumbling is an optional added saving.
The wide door and 6kg load means most things fit in without a problem, including kingsize bedding, and the sensor drying means it switches off as soon as the clothes are as dry as you need them - no messing around there. It lets you know when it's finished by emitting a tuneful bleeping sound.
The filter is easy to remove and clean, which I do between uses. The machine is fairly lightweight, so I can easily move it across the room on my own if needs must and, as it came with a free vent hose and was unpacked and set in position by the delivery guys, it was ready to use immediately. With a 'no need to iron' setting on board, that was me hooked.
This is fully programmable for most fabrics and even includes an anti-crease function, handy for just freshening up partially line-dried clothes.
I should mention that the vent hose exits from the base of the machine, so a top window may not be very handy for hanging this out but it's ideal if you have a low window or a cat flap nearby!
Advantages: Ease of use and value for money Disadvantages: Occassionally needs a longer timer
This, for the money is a nice tumble dryer, however the sensor can at times still leave the clothes damp (not quite dry enough to put away).
This is easily overcome with a few dryer balls, making it an all round excellent purchase.
The larger door gives easy access, great for those moments when your hands are full.
The buzzer playing the entertainer can at times be annoying, but is easily turned off.
Being positive the functions on this dryer ... ...to beat even on the more expensive models.
One thing that would be a nice addition is longer timed programs where you can knock the sensor off ( I know it's for economy reason, but sometimes it is needed)
A good machine, with good functions and reasonable looks a a bargain price. ...

Advantages: Can fit a full load of washing in the large drum Disadvantages: Programme interrupted by stop-starting while it tells you to clean the filter
Never owned a Dryer with so many different functions! It's really easy to use, although i found the buzzer extremely irritating to start with, however i found easily that it could be turned off. It tells you when you need to clean the filter out, encouraging you to empty it quite regularly. Although it interrupts the programme to do this and it takes a bit of getting used to, it is all in the interests of yourself as the consumer saving you the expense ... ...are self explained on the dial and menu conveniently printed on the front of the machine. The large 6kg capacity drum allows you to fit a full load of washing in it, drying without creasing the clothes up. Great if you have little time on your hands and saving you on the electric bill! Would definately recommend to anyone, especially those for example with families or generally with large amounts of washing to dry and not necessarily anywhere to ...

Advantages: cheap Disadvantages: doesnt heat up before it stops - have to keep restarting the cycle
...ensued with Comet as I tried to return it and they have this horribly complicated returns process - that I eventually had to get Beko to authorise.
Got another as a replacement, but problems can still persist - but at least only £100 down the drain and not £200+ ...

Quick review of Beko DRVS62
Cheap but with a number of serious drawbacks.
Filter design is poor - it fills up and has to be emptied regularly, needing pointed object to get fluff out of little nooks and crannies. If filter is full, it continues tumbling with heater switched off - power wasting.
The sensor stops the drier while the washing is still damp. Need to keep turning the washing around so the sensor can feel the damp bits!
Thermostat on mine broke because the door was opened while it was still running (warns you not to do this in the manual, but not all family members have time to read the manual, do they).
Simply put, far too delicate a machine for the job in a normal household. ...
