I had already checked that - unfortunately not, the very similar white model has £50 cashback

Who on earth has time for a washing machine that takes 4 hours to do a load?

I have a Bosch vario perfect and use the 40° easy care cycle. It takes an hour and 3 minutes. I can speed boost it so it takes, I think, 54 minutes. It also has a 15 minute cycle but I don't tend to use that much as it has to be re spun afterwards.. Seems to wash fine though.

I have this machine and am happy with it. You can always set the timer so your washing is done for when you get up or get home. I find this useful as I can go out and not worry about the washing sitting in the machine.

4 hours?! how is that 'eco'.

We have a beko 8kg which does an 8kg 30degree load in 39mins that includes a 1200 spin, 40 degree in 50 mins and a 90degree in 1hour 33mins.

We bought the machine for £200 around 5 years ago now and has never given any problems, has all the time delay features adjustable temps, child locks and self cleaning options. I certainly wouldn't spend the extra almost £200 on a brand but thats just me

It's not. Washing machines always took about an hour to do a cycle, then the A B C ratings came in & every maker needed their machines to be A rated or they wouldn't sell any. The only ways to improve the wash are more heat (damages fabrics), more agitation (damages fabrics), stronger detergents (damages fabrics) or more time. So all of a sudden washing machines had 4 hour cycles. But they all have shorter cycles just like they all had before which always washed well enough before the ratings came in.

I don't car about the brand - I care about getting short proper washes.


If you could find me the Beko machine for sale today, that does a 40 degree wash in 50 mins I would consider it.


Current machine is a Beko, and wash takes over 2 hours, with no options for shorter (other than a mini 30) washes.

Compare the water and energy consumption per load not the time.

The eco modes they adjust the energy use and water down quite a bit.

What model Beko?
