Bought the Beko front loader machine to replace by top loader that had seen its days out. Knew about the brand from visiting family in the UK and had used it. Considered all my options for various machines but chose the Beko due to water and energy usage ratings combined with the price making it a great deal. I havent been disappointed - it has lots of options - all which wash well. Clothes are cleaned very well, lint extraction great unlike my old machine, and can wash anything from delicates to thick clothes and bed linen. At this time I have had nil issues with it at all
