Advantages: It runs from cold water, hows that for energy efficiency? Disadvantages: Its obvious design fault, and Running times are too long!
After moving in with my girlfriend we were given a washing machine to save on costs... it blew up after a few days. Rather than find an engineer to sort it we purchased a new one, the BEKOWMA 520W.
For 18 months it was used daily, and ran fine... However, a manufacturing design fault caused us some stress. The drum is encased in plastic to prevent water from flooding your house (fair enough)... But the fatel flaw? The concrete block at the base is bottled from beneath to the plastic casing. After months of the drum and casing wrattling around, the bolt losened and the concrete block bounced, eventually so much it cracked the plastic casing...
After being without a washig machine for 6 weeks it was repaired and fine again... but 6 months later, it happened again...
! would not recomend this model to amyone! Apart from the big flaw ...

Advantages: 30 minute quick wash, child lock, pause function. Disadvantages: None spring to mind
BekoWMA 510 is excellent Value for money. It is easy to use and comes with a manual that explains each operation in detail and plain english, not double dutch.
The best thing about it is their is a child lock button on there so no little fingers can change the cycle half way through a load. The drum will take a fair amount of clothes, don't overload though or it is horrendously noisy and doesn't clean that well. Powder dispenser tray is really easy to remove and clean, press one button and out it comes. The pause button is another handy little feature, i find it really handy if i am on the phone in the kitchen i can pause the washing maching and still hear myself think.
In total there are 16 wash cycles which include 30 minute cycle, Hand Wash, Delicates, Synthetics (temperatures range from cold - 90) and Cottons ...

Advantages: Cheap, reliable, easy to use Disadvantages: capacity, capacity, capacity
were loose! so I tightened the two bolts, put the cover back on and it was fixed. If I had called out a repair man, It could have been a call out fee plus unneccessary work!
conclusions
Apart from that unfortunate incident the machine has been a "workhorse" for us, cleaning 3 peoples washing a day for 2 years (including a very messy baby!!) it is a very good machine for people on a budget like we were, although if you have alot of people in the house then I would recommend going for a bigger capacity machine.
Allround though I love my Beko it has served us well and am sure will continue to do so!! ...
