Reviews of the Beko WKB 41001 washing machine

The very simple and affordable Beko WKB 41001 washing machine is ideal for single people or small families. This model has decent technical specifications, making it at least worth considering when searching for the right "home helper." Let's talk to users about it, ask them to point out its pros and cons, and perhaps their opinions will help us.

Men's opinions

Dmitry, Moscow

A Beko arrived in our home at the suggestion of relatives, who gave it to us as a housewarming gift a year ago. What are our impressions? It's a fairly standard washing machine, but it's not without its drawbacks. Specifically, it makes a lot of noise during the wash cycle. We live in a studio apartment with minimal partitions, so noise from the appliance is a serious issue. During the spin cycle, vibration adds to the noise.

We are quite satisfied with the quality of washing. The load is small, so you can’t wash a lot of laundry at once; you have to do two or three runs. But I don't consider this a drawback, since the laundry I'm washing is varied and still has to be sorted into piles. Each pile is washed separately, meaning the maximum drum load is irrelevant. It's a different story when I'm washing a large item, like a blanket, but in that case, I head across the street to the laundromat, which has machines with a 9 kg load capacity.

The maximum load capacity of this Beko model is 4 kg, which is quite a bit by modern standards, but not critical.

When we bought it, we were misled by the salesperson, who told us this washing machine had a 6 kg capacity. Perhaps he was mistaken, or perhaps we simply misunderstood each other, but the Beko ended up going to the dacha with a small 4 kg drum. Taking it back was a hassle, so we decided to give it a try for a season.

Our washing machine never let us down this summer, and it worked perfectly. It washed dirty clothes from gardening and rainy walks in the woods with ease. Frankly, after a month of use, we completely forgot that our "home helper" had a small load capacity, although it was frustrating at first, and we often thought about our mistake. Now we don't have to worry about it; we wash in our new machine and relax, and we wish the same for you.

I've had the washing machine for four months. Lately, it's started acting up. Wash quality has declined, and almost all the detergent remains in the dispenser. I clean the dispenser after every wash, so I'm sure it won't clog with old detergent.

At first, I thought I'd mixed up the compartments and put the powder in the wrong place. However, after looking through the instructions, I realized there was no mistake.Cleaning the washing machine filter It didn't help either, even though I was strongly advised to do it on one of the online forums. I'll take it to a professional, since the machine has a two-year warranty.

Women's opinions

Valeria, Kalinin

I liked the machine, but my husband insisted on getting a model with a larger drum. After all, I'm the one doing the laundry, so I insisted on buying this particular washing machine. It's been a year and a half since I bought it, and I still can't find any faults with it. It's inexpensive, but it's very reliable. I did have to empty the change drum once, and the technician pulled out 26 coins, but the machine didn't perform any worse. Whatever anyone says, I'm happy!

Oksana, Kazan

Last year, we were faced with the urgent need to buy a washing machine. We had two problems: a very limited budget and a lack of space. There was no way a machine would fit in the bathroom, so we had to consider installing one in the kitchen—it's only 6 square meters. As you can imagine, the choice of models was limited. A Beko washing machine was the perfect fit, both in terms of budget and size.

• The drum holds 4 kg of laundry.
• There is electronic control, but no display.
• The machine is very easy to use, as there are no unnecessary buttons on the control panel.
• The washing machine spins laundry efficiently, the drum rotates at a speed of up to 1000 rpm.

The spin speed can be adjusted.

• There are as many as 15 washing programs, including a “quick wash” program.

We placed it very well. There are no complaints about its performance; it washes beautifully, although it does wobble a lot during the spin cycle and hits the kitchen counter located to the right. I recommend it; it's an inexpensive and good washing machine!

Lyudmila, Omsk

The washing machine is incredible. I thought that a cheap machine would definitely be bad, I looked for flaws, but after six months I didn’t find any. I've already recommended it to my friends. It washes even better than the Bosch or Electrolux I used before. Five stars!

Anastasia, Kemerovo

I really wanted to buy a washing machine from the Korean company LG, but it was expensive, and we were tight on money, so we decided to buy a Beko. We looked at customer reviews, and they were good. I still blame myself for not waiting until payday.

The Beko turned out to be a piece of junk. Two months later, the motor broke, and they refused to fix it under warranty. Now the electrical system is broken, and we don't even know yet whether we need to call a mechanic. Maybe someone can tell us what to do, how to pressure the service center to honor their commitments, since it's clearly written in black and white that the machine has a two-year warranty.
