Beko DVC6531: Not the best cooker

Advantages: Looks, Size, Rapid plate
Disadvantages: Cost, safety

...Beko DVC6531 Double over electric cooker with ceramic hob We bought this cooker back in august 2004 when we moved in to our new flat in Edinburgh. There was no specific reason we bought this one, we just went in to our local Currys store and picked this product along with a new fridge, freezer, washing machine and dryer. The look in the show room The cooker is mostly white in colour with a dark ceramic hotplate on top. The oven door has a frosted glass on it as does the grill. The controls are nice too; they match the colour of the cooker. Over all this cooker looks nice when sitting in the show room. Got it home When first delivered to my home, the cooker is well wrapped in polythene and has enough cardboard within it to last a lifetime. When I unwrapped the cooker I was then greeted with cardboard within the oven...

My Beko Burner

Advantages: Looks good, efficient, easy to clean top burners
Disadvantages: None that I can see yet!

...I became the proud owner of this oven a week ago. I chose the Beko as it was a mid-range price and, being fan-assisted, it is supposed to be more economic. It is only the second brand new one I have bought so it was a big occasion when it was delivered. I bought it from Comet priced £349 and delivery was within 2 days. Due to the new EU regulations I also had to pay for fitting - this was another £59. Once fitted, I couldn't wait to use it. There are 2 small plates and 2 larger hallogen plates on the top. The grill and the top oven are the same apartment with different switches. They both heat up very quickly and cook very well. There is one shelf which has 3 different positions. The main oven is fan assisted with 2 shelves although you can also use the one from the grill too. This also heats up quickly and has done a pretty...

A great little cooker!

Advantages: Good price, excellent facilities
Disadvantages: I haven't found any yet!

...of the sales staff so we searched on line for the cooker we wanted. Dave, my husband, was doing the searching for us and found the cooker we wanted at a good price on the Electrical Discount UK site. This was where we had ordered his mother's cooker from so we knew they were reliable. We ordered the cooker but were informed that it wasn't in stock. We enquired about a couple more but only to be told that they were out of stock too, so in the end we gave the staff at Electrical Discount UK our specifications and asked what they had in stock. So in effect they chose our cooker for us! The one that they offered us was the Beko DVC665 at a price of £324.98 with free standard delivery. We both took a look at the web site and checked that the specifications were what we wanted and it looked great so we said yes. Luckily the colour of the cooker...

Eco Beko

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

...I have just replaced my 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 the washing that had piled up over the last few 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...

Review of Beko WM5140W

I prefer Beko to fairy for washing my dishes

Advantages: Cheap, 12 Place Settings, Cleans Really Well
Disadvantages: Loud, Lack of Visuality of Visual Aid, Length of Programmes, Width of Pipe

...kitchen which we wanted to fully utilise, and also one which would easily accommodate the every day cutlery and crockery needs of a family of four. Cost was also clearly a factor, but for those of you who have read my previous reviews, make was not a particularly important concept for me. ~~~ So which machine ticked all the boxes ~~~~~ Having done a price comparison on various internet sites, the machine which kept jumping out was the Beko DWD4310W, which was a standalone dishwasher in white, which was the same colour as our fridge, was marketed as a 12 Place Dishwasher, which more than fitted the bill for our family of four, and was available from the Co-op Electrical shop for £174.99. Whilst this price didn't include installation, I figured that it couldn't be much more difficult that it was to install a washing machine which even...

BRILLIANT BEKO

Advantages: Fast, reliable, cheap
Disadvantages: none that i have found

...I purchased my silver Beko washing machine in April this year as me and my fiance had just purchased our first house together and wanted a machine that offered good value for money, got the job done and matched the other appliances we had already bought for our kitchen. As we had already bought a Beko fridge freezer in silver i decided to see what washing machines this company also had on offer so that the colour of the appliances would be exactly the same. I had a look on the comet website to see what was available as this was where i purchased my Beko fridge freezer and i spotted the WMA520s which had a low price and was also quite an attractive appliance as far as washing machines go. PRODUCT INFORMATION Dimensions - 85.0x59.5x54.0(H/W/D)cm Spin speed - up to 1200 rpm Wash load - max 5 kg Wash grade - A Energy...

Review of Beko WMA520

Unfortunatly, the Beko DWD4310 does not live up to expectations.

Advantages: Very easy to use, Cleaning is very simple, Intense wash is good.
Disadvantages: Can be unsafe for multiple reasons, Colder washes are poor.

...A few months ago I decided to invest in a dishwasher, I could see little downside other than the initial cost, the time and effort saved would be immeasurable. After asking for advice from family and friends I used an online website to purchase this particular model after hearing very good things about it. Performance/Quality The Beko DWD4310 has 4 wash settings, a prewash designed to pre rinse heavily soiled items, a rapid cycle that is designed to wash plates which are lightly soiled, an economy setting which washes at a relatively hot temperature and the intensive wash which is designed for heavily soiled pans and plates. Indeed, these work well, though the rapid wash and economy wash can regularly leave dirty marks on even relatively clean plates. I therefore use the hottest setting at all times as a precaution which I...

Beko DWD4310 Dishwasher - reliable

Advantages: choise of programs, removable cutlery stand, good cleaning standard, load quite a lot in
Disadvantages: no indicator of how long left on the program

...I've had my BEKO dishwasher for almost a year now and have found it to be very reliable. It is of standard size so easily fitted into our space in the kitchen and was exceptionally easy to install. I t has a removable cutlery holder and a fold down rack so you can either use it for more place settings or for bigger things such as saucepans. There are a variety of programs including intensive and economy so it can be adjusted to suit your particular needs. I have always found it to clean and rinse everything thoroughly and am very happy with it. It is also very easy to top up the salt/rinse aid. It is quiet and you can sometimes forget that it is on! The only feature that it does not have that I would find useful is an indicator of how long there is left on the cycle, but that would be the only improvement that I would make...

BEKO CDA653FW

Advantages: Good sized fridge and freezer, excellent door storage, water dispenser.
Disadvantages: Honestly haven't found any yet

...Purchased this in early December as my old, much smaller appliance was not suitable for storage. I found this product exceptional value for money and have been very pleased with it. It has a spacious and roomy freezer with an ice bank tray as well. The fridge includes several shelves, bottle rack, a lot of door storage as well as handy features such as movable drop down storage boxes for little bits and pieces, 2 door rack holders that will hold a 4 pint milk carton each, as well as lower and upper storage racks and a top door shelf that including egg holder. I have found that all my milk and condiments fit easily in the door whereas my previous appliance would only hold a few condiments and the rest needed to be stored in the main fridge area. The BEKO CDA653FW has a built in water dispenser in the door which holds several...
