Reviews of the Beko WKB 61001 Y washing machine

Recently, washing machine manufacturers have begun to rely on “folk” appliances, that is, to produce washing machines that are affordable to most buyers. The Beko WKB 61001 Y washing machine falls into this category as its cost ranges from 200 to 230 US dollars. Its characteristics are also quite good, but what is the quality? We will try to find out everything that interests us from users, but first we will choose truthful reviews.

Positive

I never chased fancy equipment. My husband and I are supporters of reliable machines that perform their function perfectly. And reliable technology is usually simple, without unnecessary electronics. When I studied the characteristics and opinions of experts about the Beko WKB 61001 YS machine, I immediately decided to buy it, my husband and children supported me in this. So far I have not been using the washing machine for long, only five months, but I can already say something now.

• It has a record low price, it was even scary to take it, because all sorts of Chinese bullshit is usually sold for that kind of money.
• It’s well assembled, nothing knocks or rings during operation, and the washing machine doesn’t wobble too much, which is good news.

True, the machine is a little noisy, but it doesn’t annoy us.

• It has simple controls, but still not mechanical, but electronic.
• Large drum 6 kg and high-speed spin.
• The case is protected from leaks and, if necessary, you can turn on the child lock.

I still can’t really believe that I managed to buy such an inexpensive washing machine, so well equipped.I really want to find a catch, but so far I have not succeeded. If this continues, I’ll give it five points, but for now four, I don’t trust this brand.

Evgeniya, Moscow region

I live in a country house in the Moscow region. The house is big, so there is quite a lot of different equipment. Eat washing machine Electrolux EWT 1064 ERW with vertical loading, but for some reason she has been moping lately. And it’s not enough for me. Therefore, I decided to buy and install Beko WKB 61001 Y next to it. I bought Beko inexpensively, so it’s not a waste of money, as my husband told me.

The first thought was: how far behind top-loading washing machines are behind front-loading washing machines! Beko washes much better, makes less noise and actually holds more laundry. Wrings out twice as well. I’m thinking of selling the Electrolux, but I’ve only had it for two years.

When I was wandering around rented apartments, I dreamed of an automatic washing machine, but I still couldn’t get one. Now I have settled in my apartment and the Beko washing machine has appeared in my life. It washes just great, even jackets and sneakers “shine” clean after it. I am very pleased, I recommend it to everyone!

Vladimir, Veliky Novgorod

I like the washing machine, although the noise could be less. Now I’m listening, I can’t understand, there seems to be a metallic clanging sound inside at the very beginning of the spin cycle. It's been in use for two years now, I really like how the machine rinses clothes. Also very pleased with the large drum load.

Artem, Vologda

I am pleased with many things about this machine, it’s a very cool piece of equipment, although it’s inexpensive. The highlight of this washing machine is the express wash, which washes clothes quickly and efficiently.I noticed that when doing an express wash, you should not put more than 3 kg of laundry in the drum. If this rule is followed, even fairly dirty laundry can be washed.

Alexander, Severouralsk

This machine is much smaller than my old one, but holds more laundry. This “compactness” helped me put it under the countertop in the kitchen, although there had previously been a cabinet there. It turned out very cool. At the very beginning I put rubber pads under the legs, this may have helped, because it makes quite a bit of noise.

Julia, Rybinsk

I just really liked this technique. There is no need to talk much here. Of course, it is not ideal, there are gaps between the hatch cover and the front wall, and the cuff does not fit very well, but in general, it works. I can’t say anything about the quality of the parts, but I’ve been washing them for a year now without problems, and that’s already said a lot.

I am surprised how little powder the machine uses. I wash 5.5 kg of laundry with half the usual portion.

Negative

Stas, Pskov

So far it hasn't leaked, and that's thanks for that. There are very few washing modes, what you need is not there, and you can’t program it. Pros: large load and low cost. Cons: poor assembly, no display, no proper protection against leaks, incomprehensible child protection, “flimsy” powder receptacle.

Daria, St. Petersburg

I took this machine because of its narrow body and low cost. I was not happy with the bargain purchase for long. After a month and a half, the washing machine broke down - the heating element burned out. The replacement came at the expense of the seller, but they frayed my nerves. Now the control module has burned out, the warranty has expired, and repairs will be very expensive. How I regret that I didn’t take LG, at least it would have worked without problems.

Ruslan, Mr.Novosibirsk

What advantages are there, the machine generates electricity like crazy. I didn’t touch the installation; everything was done by the workers according to the contract I signed in the store. A specialist from the service center came and said that the machine was installed with damaged wiring, the installers did not check anything or pretended not to notice. The seller blames me for everything, there is a desire to come and clean up his face. I'll look into it, I'm not happy with the washing machine.

In response to my complaint, the seller indicated that I installed the machine incorrectly, although I did not touch the installation, everything was done by “specialists.”

Lyudmila, Irkutsk

You shouldn't skimp on equipment you use all the time. The machine has to be turned on every day, which means it was necessary to take something more reliable. I’m the smart one now, but then I saw the price tag and took it. There were several breakdowns; the third time the machine could not be repaired. So I was left with nothing.
