We opted for a cheap alternative but in hindsight I wish we had forked out a little more on a better make. The cycle takes a very long time and after 18 months parts are beginning to fall off. There is a large concrete brick which is attached to the bottom of the drum which has fallen off, the 2 screws attaching the brick have both snapped so the machine now sounds like a tractor!

I strongly advise you to spend a litte more on a better quality make. It looks tacky and feels cheap (which to be fair it is!).

We purchased the machine from Comet for £199. The sales assistant was eager to recommend the Beko despite the lower price than the other makes and models which was somewhat surprising.
