Beko WMA520W

worst washing machine ever.... dont buy beko if you value your sanity.... the main [but not the only] fault with mine is the tacho magnet on the end of the motor shaft.. fractured in such a way as you had to break it in two to make it fit with a big gap where it should have met up so i repaired it with superglue and araldite, went again and again and again over a 10 month period now the magnet [the shape and size of a large polo mint] has disintegrated beyond repair [all of this is very strange seeing as how it spins in free air with only the tacho pick up coil in the vicinity] will they sell you a new magnet? your having a laugh you have to buy a complete motor assy for the sake of a BADLY designed system where the fault is a broken magnet which should cost no more than a couple of pounds absolute rubbish.. designed by cretins

Just given up on me after 8 years, two years ago the door seal started leaking and i replaced it myself cost £20. Machine had started getting rather noisy at the time when on spin cycle and i discovered when replacing seal that the lower counterweight had come off and the outer drum had cracked were the weight was attached. Considering the price i had paid for it i didn't think it was worth repairing and it has lasted another two years. Going buying another one next week. Another very well known make was a complete nightmare cost a lot more more money and would not buy one again after years i scrapped it!

had it one day and its not working properly. wouldnt recommend beko to anyone

Short cycle non existant, made holes in all my cotton t shirts etc, burning smell when spinning. Stay clear!!!

I am the owner of this machine for 2 years, short program does not exist,after one year -problem with absorption powder and liquid, noisy, after two years- bottom concrete loose( twice repaired), very noisy not possible to use spin mor than 700.Generally it was a cheap but repair very expensive!!!

This machine is eating holes in my cottons. Ive tried different spin speeds and cycles as recommended to no avail. So far its ruined more moneys worth of clothes than the machine cost! Dont buy it.

Beko WMA520W Washing machine.

Owned for 2 years. In that time it has been repaired for: Leaking door, concrete block on drum loose (3 times), Smell of burning when on 1200 spin (still does it - engineer cant find fault, has not been able to on the 4 seperate occasions they have been out), pipe kinked on overflow causing flooding - 3 repairs to this, control panel packed up, conditioner leakes out of draw when you are pouring it in the draw, door will not shut properly, hence when you use the timer more often than not it just goes to the 'flashing' light to say there is a problem, so your load does not start. Doesnt spin properly every time and clothes are sopping wet, so have to put it on a sepearte spin cycle. Makes holes in your clothes, not just woolen ones but tea towels and sheets too.

Purchased a Curry's Whatever Happens Next agreement for it after the 1 year warranty. They refuse to replace it, the engineer oviously likes comming to see me!

i would not recommend this machine to ANYBODY and now i know why the man at Curry's was trying to sell it - to make sure that he didnt have any more to sell to any one else.

Biggest peice or rubbish i have ever had the mis fortune to own - Oh and by the way, the concrete block on the drum fell off again this morning and flooded the kitchen AGAIN - I have just been told i have to wait a WEEK for an engineer!!!!

I have had this machine for 4 years and it only now needs to be replaced. not only is it 4 yrs old but in those 4 yrs it has done 10+ loads of washing a week for a family of 4, so i am happy to go out and buy another if that is the service i am going to get from a BEKO machine.

had this 2 years. bearings have just gone and conditioner no longer goes through. customer care line rings out no matter what time i call. i would never buy beko again

The Beko WMA520W is CHEAP! But false ecconomy. Packed up after just 18 months.
