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

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!!!

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!!!!

do not buy a Beko WMA520W, this eats my clothes, door seals are faulty , the quick wash isn t quick it takes for ever and they will keep repairing until warrenty runs out then you are stuck with a heap of junk.

Not had this Beko washer long, on the whole a good washing machine for its money. The quick wash cycle (approx 45mins) is ideal for items of clothing which are not particularly dirty. The other cycles take between 1.1/2 to 2 hours to complete, which I pretty much the same as all new washing machines these days regardless of how much you pay for them or the make. I Like this washing machine.

Pump went after 4 months, balance weights went just outside warranty, repair failed, drum case was supposed to be replaced but arrived cracked. Been without washer since mid December ( 3 months!! )
