Don't buy it

Advantages: None.
Disadvantages: The bleeping, it's incessant.

I cannot express strongly enough how frustrating this machine is and how much I hate using it. It's nothing special in terms of functionality, it's no better and no worse than any other washing machine I've used. As far as I'm concerned none of the functionality, relability or performance matter because there is one thing built into this machine that will drive even the most tolerant insane. I refer to the ridiculous, unnecessary and extremely LOUD ...
...because to me alarm is something that sounds when something is wrong. Not on this machine, the alarm sounds for absolutely everything. It serves no dianostic purpose because it's always flipping bleeping. It's very loud and can be hard two rooms away, that's not an exaggeration. It bleeps when you press the buttons to select programme setting and when the cycle is complete the stupid machine SCREAMS at you non-stop. it's not like it bleeps once or ...

Eco Beko

Advantages: Economical with a good selection of programmes
Disadvantages: Only 5kg maximum load

...old washing machine with a Beko and wow what a difference. Not only is the machine more compact it is also A+ energy efficient. My old machine was noisy, time consuming and temperamental towards the end which is why I am so pleased with the efficiency and quality of this product. I ordered the Beko WM5140W from Pixmania for only £179 and after it was efficiently and professional unpacked and installed by the delivery team I was eager to start clearing ...
...days. Having read the instructions which I found to be very easily laid out and structured to be user friendly I duly followed the instructions for “First Use”. This was to use the machine at “cottons 90 °C” programme without any laundry items. I found the dials easy to read and operate as they are all clearly labelled. I turned the dial on the left to the “cottons 90° C” as instructed, switched the machine on and then pressed the start button. The ...

A good brand gone bad

Advantages: Large capacity
Disadvantages: Poor customer service

We have had Whirlpool machines for 20 years or so because they are fast and have a good capacity. We have had this machine for 18 months. There are just two of using it and the tub bearing failed. Whirlpool want £662 to repair it or provide a new one for £595. We paid that amount for the original one. After some correspondence with Whirlpool they said they would not offer any recompense for the failure even when advised how little use it had had. ...
