We continue the series of reviews of washing machines for those who are in search of a new, functional and modern washing machine. We have already presented you the best models from Haier, Hotpoint-Ariston and AEG brands, the turn of the Beko brand has come. What is a Beko washing machine? Whose company makes these beauties and how do they differ from the offers of competitors? We will find out who produces the Beco SMA right now.
Beko - from the creators of the Turks for coffee and all inclusive
You have probably guessed that Beko is a Turkish brand. And this is true: in Turkey, they not only sew beautiful clothes, make incomparable Turkish delight and entertain tourists in warm pools, but also collect good washing machines. And how good they are, we will find out below when we review the top models.
But the question is "Where do Beco washing machines are made"Is still open - many manufacturers, for cheaper production, are moving their capacities to Asian countries, the credibility of their products has not yet reached the desired heights. The official website of Beko does not hide the fact that the company's factories are located not only in the former Ottoman Empire, but also in 18 countries, in particular in Romania, South Africa, China, Thailand, Pakistan and even in Russia - in the city of Kirzhach .
Mostly domestic assembly structures come to our market, but those who are looking for will always find, so if you wish, you can buy and even order an AGR from a Turkish factory, although there are doubts that the quality will be radically different - our assemblers can work at a Turkish factory . In any case, we advise you to ask the seller a question about the place of assembly of the machine or to independently verify this fact by looking at the markings.
Not a day without sports
According to statistics, at least 3 billion people watched the World Cup, which means that almost every second person on our planet is interested in sports. Beko took this fact into service, specializing in supporting sporting events, in particular basketball and football. Even going to the corporation's website, you come across a sports banner.
This, probably, does not affect the quality of products at all, but is a significant component of the Beko advertising company. So, those who support Barcelona can pay attention to advertising and make a purchase from fan motives. Unfortunately, it is impossible to calculate how many fans of Lionel Messi rushed to buy Beco household appliances, but even if a short film with prototypes of famous football players was shot, then this is interesting to someone. Fans of football, enjoy watching the video!
What does the company offer?
Under the Beko sign, you can buy a front-loading washing machine - the classic version of CMA. Also in the assortment there are narrow cases, up to 40 cm wide - for small-sized rooms (about a fourth of the entire assortment). Embedded technology is also not alien to the manufacturer - on sale you can find 8 interesting options for embedded technology.
Other features:
- There is how capacious, and not really - with a load of 4 to 9 or more kg. For any amount of clothing.
- Spin speed. Most designs are designed to spin in the range of 800–1000 rpm, but there are options that can rotate the drum at a speed of 1200–1400 rpm.
- Dryer. With drying, there is only 1 suggestion - we will consider it in the next part of the review.
- There are a couple of options in which steam washing. Steam softens and eliminates stubborn dirt and evens out creases - some things do not even need ironing after such treatment.
- Latest modern designs equipped inverter motor, but they are few, so the choice is limited.
About the inverter motor from Beko. The manufacturer promises that SMA with an inverter motor erase and work quietly as efficiently as possible. And also such machines save up to 60% of electricity in comparison with class A +++ cars. In the inverter motor there are no brushes and friction, which means that it serves many times longer - it is not in vain that they give it a 10-year warranty.
- Such a useful addition as display, only half of the assortment of washing machines have it - probably the Turks either save, or think that it is more practical to do without a display. In fairness, I will say that SMA are without a screen and are cheaper.
- Leakage protection Equipped with absolutely ALL products. Also in all washers there is a foam control and control of the imbalance of the drum. The most expensive options are protected from power surges.
- All automatic machine evenly distributed between 4 energy efficiency classes: A, A +, A ++ and A +++.
- How much is? Basically, these are washing machines at the cost of 11,000–15,000 rubles, but there are also constructions for 34,000–54,000 rubles. 85% of the products are quite budget versions that almost every buyer can afford.
- Quick program. In LGA's AGR, this mode lasts 30 minutes, in Gorenje - 17 minutes, in AEG - 20, and the Beko record holder - erases quickly in just 14 minutes with the Express'14 program, though only 2 kg of laundry, but nonetheless .
- Design. A couple of words should be given to this criterion too - Turkish washers are in no way inferior in design to the steep European manufacturers. Some cars are not ashamed to even put in the kitchen for all to see. There are options in white, silver and even black body.

Comment: some users write that the WKB 51001 perfectly cleans even hard spots, while others complain that it does not wash at all. Let me remind you that the quality of the laundry treatment primarily depends on the correctly selected mode and washing parameters, as well as on the quality of the washing agent.
There are also very interesting reviews about the WKB 51001's spin behavior. Someone writes that the washer is stable, but someone has a cry from the heart:
Wait, what does the buyer expect when buying equipment that is 3, or even 5 times cheaper than other brands? Of course, there will be flaws, but such trifles as short hoses and a small list of programs are a matter of course. You saved on a typewriter - manufacturers saved, alas, on your comfort. Bitter truth. Therefore, if you need more extensive functionality, you should go to a different model, or maybe to another manufacturer!

Otherwise, the car is too controversial, although quite cheap, which makes it especially attractive to buy.
Built-in - WMI 71241
There are few built-in options from Veko, but there are quite decent ones.
Consider the WMI 71241 parameters:
- Spin speed: up to 1200 revolutions per minute.
- Energy Efficiency Class: A +.
- Maximum load: up to 7 kg.
- Water consumption: 52 liters.
- Noisiness: 50 dB.

- Where can I buy? STemplate.
Pros:
- High-quality assembly.
- He gets up in the most secluded corner - even in the pantry.
- Silent work.
- Nice design, convenient display.
- Lots of programs.
- Adequate price.
- Relatively quiet.
- Easy to manage.
- It handles silk and wool well.
Minuses:
- Not always completely washing the powder out of the cuvette.
- Noisy when picking up water.
- Shakes at speeds above 1000.
- It is inconvenient to fill gels and other liquid detergents - the dispenser is too deep.
According to the "garlic", negative reviews - most likely, nit-picking. Almost any SMA is noisy when pouring water, just like it vibrates at high speeds, the powder may not be picked up for reasons beyond the control of the manufacturer, and gel, by the way, is best poured directly into the drum. Therefore, from the whole rating it is the BEST AGR, with only one feature - it needs to be built in. If there is no problem with this and the headset allows, take this proven washer better.
Match the results. So, the Turkish technology is far from perfect, but it is several times lower than Italian or German, so if the task is to buy a functional, but inexpensive SM, you can choose "Beco". And which one - already proceed from your needs. The main thing is to rely on reviews and do not make the connection yourself, so as not to lose the warranty. Leave your questions and opinions about Turkish washers in the comments.
