on paper this looks great but ours that we bought a couple of years ago is infuriating. it is supposed to sense the load and adjust the programme accordingly. however, it seems to constantly sense an imbalanced load, despite it being full.... so instead of saving time and energy, it just goes on and on...... for hours! sorry, but can't recommend it, unless you can disable this feature

I find this is a problem with most washing machines. The best way to get around it is to set it to a Mini 30 mins wash followed by a Rinse program, your clothes are fully cleaned in 45 mins.

Found the same problem with my indesit supposed to be 45 min wash on 40degrees but more than 2hrs !!!!! same explanation given by indesit unbalanced load !!!! apparently these are 'smart machines' well if they are so smart why cant they flash a warning of this prior to my having to spend hours waiting for the thing to finish and costing more to run ......supposedly eco friendly :disappointed:

If its over-filled or if it hasn't been set level on the floor surface when installed it can sense a non balanced load. Also if you mix lets say heavy towels and everything else is light cottons or less absorbent materials it can have the same effect. I guess the issue is that is going slow caused by operator error or some sort of fault with the washing machine. When my Panasonic/Vestel washing machine was spinning slowly and leaving clothes still too wet I soon realised it was my error in loading it and I haven't had the issue since.

Good spot OP. I purchased the same washer a year ago. Great low price with Free Delivery as well + 2 year warranty. So far I can't fault this machine. To keep it in tip top working condition it is best to do run the monthly service self clean wash, and add some Power Force washing machine cleaner (from Aldi stores) in the wash programme, also clean out the filter at the bottom of the machine. Has loads of useable programmes as well.

Good find heat added GAZG.
I Ordered this HOOVER DXA68W3 @ £250.00 from currys 20 mins ago as two family members have the 1400 spin 14 min wash etc and works great.
But the wife wanted 1600 spin if any one need a faster spin machine. Use code LKA10R.

yeah, we use the 'Daily Quick' programme. Seems to work fine with that, but then can't rely on all the other programmes. Shame cos our Beko freezer and dishwasher are great.

Great spot OP - heat added!
I think I'd give the extra 3 year warranty for £95 a miss, given you can buy a new washing machine for £200 in two years time (maybe longer!) with hopefully another 2 year warranty.
Save the £95 to go towards the next £200 machine?
Interested to hear peoples thoughts on extended warranties.......

Beko white goods are so underated, this is a fantastic price for 9kg. We must all be washing bigger loads these days, 5-6kg used to be the norm. HOT
