Beko WKB 61031 PTMA Washing Machine Reviews

Among the most popular washing machines released recently, you're sure to find the Beko WKB 61031 PTMA washing machine. What made it so appealing to customers may be its low price. This model's price is indeed low, but we don't think that's the only explanation. Let the owners of these washing machines tell us about their "home helpers"; perhaps their opinions will shape ours.

Before buying a washing machine, I cheated a little: I looked up sales statistics for the past three months at a major home appliance store. A friend helped me get this information. At the time, this washing machine was the most easily disassembled, and people, as we all know, are hard to fool. Individual buyers can be fooled, but large groups often make the right choice. So I decided to buy a Beko washing machine.

Let me say right away that anyone dreaming of buying a super washing machine can forget about Beko, as it's a very ordinary machine. Even a cursory glance at its technical specifications makes it clear that we're dealing with a very run-of-the-mill "home helper."

1. Washing machine load capacity: 6 kg.
2. Spin at maximum speed of about 1000 rpm.
3. Electronic control, there is a display.
4. The arsenal includes 11 washing programs.
5. There is protection against children, imbalance and overflow.
6. Accelerated washing and delayed start up to 19 hours are available.

In my opinion, automatic washing machines already had this kind of assembly in the mid-2000s, so there's nothing to brag about. Basically, I don't need to brag to anyone; I just need a good machine to do my laundry. If you feel the same way, this model will suit you. If you're looking for something special, consider washing machines that are more expensive.

My family's washing machine has been serving us for a year and a half now, and it hasn't let us down once. One time, a power surge almost destroyed the machine, so I had to buy a new one.washing machine stabilizer and dishwashers, so that the appliances would be better protected in the event of another surge. Everything has been fine since then. The drum is large and contains jackets, blankets and quilts. It washes well, no fuss. My wife likes the look, and I'd say it's a bit plain, but for the price, I don't see any downsides. I recommend it.

The old washing machine wouldn't wash jackets; apparently, outerwear was too heavy. This machine handles large items with ease. As long as you don't cram them all in at once, of course.

I think the main advantages of this washing machine are the controls and the range of programs. There are programs that were simply created for me, as if the engineers who created it listened specifically to my opinion. My only complaint is the lack of a shoe program, but that's really a minor detail. I'll give this machine an A+!

I used a Bosch washing machine imported from Europe for 12 years. It lasted five years there, and I've had it for 12 years, so it's 17 years old, and it's still looking pretty good. If it hadn't been for the way it looked over the years, I never would have written it off as a summer house. My wife and I bought a replacement – ​​a Beko. So far, we're happy with it; it's been six months without any issues. It washes quieter than our Bosch, and the drum holds more laundry. The display, which shows the program progress, is also a definite plus. We love it!

It's a great model with lots of programs and a choice of spin speeds. Plus, it's compact, so I was able to fit it into a small bathroom. I was very pleased with the "Soak" mode; I use it constantly, especially when I have to wash the little ones' clothes. The child lock is also reliable, repelling all my little ones' attempts. I'm happy with the purchase and hope it lasts a long time.

Negative

This washing machine is drab and ugly, with no redeeming qualities, only flaws. That was my first impression, and unfortunately, after a year of use, it hasn't changed.

• The washing machine's quality is quite poor. You often have to pre-wash items to ensure the machine can clean them properly.
• The display is large and looks impressive until you turn it on. The information it displays is very poor.
• There's no proper notification when the wash cycle is finished. They could have made some kind of loud sound signal.
• There is no function that would allow you to wash clothes in a large amount of water; they are obsessed with this saving.
• The extra rinse doesn't turn on immediately, you have to start it separately, which is inconvenient.

The bottom line is that this washing machine, while inexpensive, is completely useless. It's better to spend a little more money on a better machine. I'll give it one out of five stars!

It's only been working for two months. Now I can't start any of the washing modes. The lights are on, the display shows the wash cycle has started, but it doesn't actually start. The machine doesn't fill with water, and the drum spins once and then stops. I tried reading online about problems with similar symptoms. It says the machine should display an error code, but my Beko doesn't display any errors. I don't know what to do; it looks like I need to call a technician; there's no other option. It's a bad washing machine!

Anna, Novosibirsk

This washing machine is incredibly noisy. I have a small child who is terrified of the machine. I have to take her to my grandmother's before washing, fortunately she lives two floors up. And if it were just the noise, the washing quality is also unsatisfactory. The snow-white pastel bed linen turned grey after five washes. I decided to sell my washing machine because I can't use it anymore, I've run out of patience!

I tried washing my sneakers, but the washing machine ruined them. I washed the same sneakers in my old washing machine without any problems.

Marta, Moscow

The machine is of poor quality. I learned this the hard way. In six months, it broke down twice, and the repair cost was $100, even though I bought the washing machine for $270 with a discount. Now I read the negative reviews about it and wonder why I didn't check online sooner. I'll be smarter next time.
