Reviews of the washing machine Beko WKB 51031 PTMA

It seems that finding a washing machine that costs around $240 today is almost impossible. But if you don’t panic, but look carefully at the offer, you can pick up a couple of dozen options that will fit into the price indicated. A good option is considered to be the Beko WKB 51031 PTMA front-loading washing machine, reviews of which we rewrote for this publication.

I didn’t immediately believe that cheap Beko washing machines could be of good quality, but since we finally bought it, flattered by the low price and a mind-blowing 40% discount, we had to try it out. As long as I don’t wash it and run it twice a day, it still works. It will soon be a year since I have been making fun of the machine. The last time she surprised me was by washing the heavy curtains.

I’ve had occasion to push more laundry into the drum than its maximum load and nothing, it washes normally.

At first I didn’t want to stuff two of them at once, but then laziness took over and I didn’t want to make an extra bookmark. With a load of 5 kg, both curtains were perfectly washed, rinsed and even wrung out. It looks like the washer should have frozen, but no, everything is OK! A month ago, a slightly perceptible odor appeared from the drum. To prevent it from turning into a stench, I read on the Internet how to clean a washing machine from smell and dirt, bought a pack of Dr. Beckmann. I did one dry run with it, as written in the instructions, and the smell disappeared. The washing machine is excellent, five points!

I have three children of different ages.As you understand, a lot of dirty laundry accumulates, so you have to run the machine more often than once a day. Beko has been working properly for the second year now, I hope it will work for a long time. When choosing a machine, I was guided by the following characteristics:

• warranty period;
• spin quality;
• number and composition of washing programs;
• drum dimensions and loading;
• looked at how reliable the hatch was, whether it closed and opened well;
• Is there child protection?

This washer suited me perfectly. I was a little embarrassed by the low price, but I didn’t bother too much since I simply didn’t have the money for a more expensive machine. I’m glad that I successfully bought a washing machine, without it we’ll be in trouble, we’ll get stuck in hand washing!

In my opinion, the cost of this washing machine is greatly underestimated by the manufacturer. Very high quality washing machine. Nothing is loose anywhere, the parts are all neatly fitted, the hatch cuff “sits” tightly, even the hatch door does not jam when opening. Before buying, I was a little tense, because on the forums people write that this machine is very noisy and bounces on the floor.

In reality there is none of this, perhaps because I was very careful about the installation process. I did everything myself: strengthened the floor, leveled it. When installing the washing machine, I unscrewed the legs so that it stood exactly level, and I placed a special rubber mat under the body. Now you can hear it only during the spin cycle, and even then if you turn it on to maximum, otherwise it’s normal, it stands rooted to the spot. I advise everyone!

I struggled with the Bosch washing machine for six months until I found buyers and “didn’t burn it out.” I bought Beko instead and couldn't be happier. This is a washing machine, I wish there were more like it.There is nothing superfluous in it, but it is inexpensive. It washes carefully and well; perhaps it has no equal in this respect. The spin cycle isn't quite as good, but it's still ok. The washing machine is not fussy, does not require serious maintenance, I have never even cleaned the filter in a year. I forgot about the breakdowns, but I used to bypass all services with my Bosch.

We have a large load Miele washing machine and we are quite happy with it. But then I recently came across a big sale due to the liquidation of a household appliances store and they offered me Beko at half price. I didn’t think for a long time, I bought it because my wife had been asking for a washing machine for a long time at the dacha.

The purchase cost me $135.

I thought that there was little that could surprise me in life, but this machine simply amazed me. She really washes better than our Mila. It picks up all the powder from the tray without leaving a trace, washes the shoes perfectly, and there is also a convenient quick wash mode. Perhaps I’ll take this washing machine home and send Mile to the dacha, it’ll be better that way.

Alexey, Vologda

So we are satisfied with the machine, it is a pity that the drum does not hold enough laundry. The machine washes jackets well, but does not wring out very well. In general, I noticed that the larger the item, the worse the spin. The machine has a large number of useful programs and functions; my wife and I especially liked the function of cleaning animal hair. After all, there are two cats in the house, the fur sticks everywhere, including on clothes. In general, a pass. The washer is very good.

Beko is the worst washing machine, Indesit is much better.At least my old Indian woman didn’t jump around the pasture like a saiga, although Beko was installed in exactly the same place for me. Well, okay, after two months I reluctantly came to terms with the noise and vibration, but a new misfortune appeared - a terribly strong metallic grinding sound when the drum accelerated. I feel like the end is coming for my new washing machine. It's a shame and a shame, I'm unhappy!

After the purchase, the machine immediately proved to be not the best. She refused to fill the tank with water, I decided to see what was the matter and discovered that at the inlet, in front of the filling valve, there was a filter that was completely clogged with scale and some kind of dirt. After that, I should have taken the washing machine to the store, because this moment is very alarming, the machine is new, and the filter is in such a condition as if it had been used for two years. A smart person would have done this, but I cleaned the filter and started washing as if nothing had happened.

Two years later I paid for my shortsightedness. The pump is broken. I had to change it at my own expense, since the warranty had expired, fortunately my hands are growing from the right place. Then I changed the filling valve, UBL and heating element in turn. Now it’s the engine’s turn! Unreliable car, now I understand this better than anyone!

It is written that the Beko heating element has special protection against scale. Don't believe this nonsense. When I took out the heating element, there was a thick layer of scale on it, it looked terrible.

This is how I saved money, now only swear words come to mind. Not only is the machine itself of terrible quality and generally refuses to wash properly, but also the sellers are inadequate.A week later, I came to them and wanted to return it, because I could do it within 14 days. He presented a significant drawback - a torn hatch cuff that did not hold water. They told me that this damage was my fault and that this was not a significant drawback, we would not take the washing machine back.

I had a great desire to smash their faces there, but after thinking a little, I decided to move our battle to court. I think the judge will figure out who is right and who is wrong.
