Beko washing machines
The Beko washing machine is a high-quality and reliable household appliance at a reasonable price. The products of this brand are known in many countries around the world and this only confirms the quality of this equipment. But who is the manufacturer of washing machines under the Beko brand, what are the main advantages and which models are most popular - we will tell you this in this article.
Origin of washing machines of this brand
Beko is one of the brands of the large Turkish corporation Koç, founded in 1926. This corporation includes more than a hundred companies from different industries, including the Archelik company, founded in 1955. It is the company that produces household appliances under the Arcelik and Beko brands. The first washing machine of this brand was produced in 1959.
Equipment under the Archelik brand is intended for sale in the domestic market of Turkey. Washing machines under the Beko brand are exported. The first washing machines appeared in Russia in 1994; in 1999, Arcelik opened a representative office in Russia. In 2006, the Beko plant was built in the city of Kirzhach, Vladimir region. Washing machines are a priority in Beko's production.
Beko accounts for 80% of all Archelik products exported from Turkey.
What is the reliability
Washing machines are very popular and in demand among consumers due to their reasonable prices. Beko automatic machines are an order of magnitude cheaper than their competitors with similar technical parameters, but this does not affect the quality of washing and the reliability of the machine itself. How is such reliability ensured? Everything is simple - the design of the machine and the materials from which the country of origin produces the components.
The tank of washing machines is made of a polymer alloy, which has advantages compared to stainless steel:
- firstly, the weight of the polymer tank is less;
- secondly, high sound absorption and vibration reduction;
- thirdly, it has high thermal insulation, which allows you to save on energy;
- fourthly, the polymer alloy does not conduct electric current.
And, of course, the tank in washing machines is not subject to corrosion, is resistant to high temperatures and is environmentally friendly, since no chemical compounds are released when water is heated.
In modern automatic washing machines from Beko, a nickel-plated heating element is installed, which has a long service life. The safety of washing machines is ensured by child locking, a water overflow system and drum imbalance control.
The programs provide for washing different types of fabrics, from consumer reviews You can note the good quality of washing even in cheap models of washing machines.
Note that in modern models the manufacturer paid special attention to efficiency by integrating AquaFusion technology. Thanks to this technology, not only does it save water and electricity, but also saves powder by preserving undissolved particles. The savings are not large: 5.5 kg of powder per washing machine per year, but if thousands of people wash and save powder, then from an environmental point of view, the emission of harmful chemicals is less.
But it is worth saying that the Turkish-assembled Beko is an order of magnitude higher than the Russian one, as noted by the service center masters. The average service life of Turkish units is about 7-10 years, although they can last longer under proper operating conditions. In addition, the latest models have been equipped with a plastic tank rather than a polymer one.

My mother bought a washing machine of this brand and is very unhappy. The washing machine broke down literally a year later, I sent it in for repairs, they did it, and 1.5 months later it broke down again. I filed a complaint with Moscow, but I’m still waiting for a repairman. How can you treat your clients like this!?
I bought a Veko WKN 51011 M washing machine, but the UBL failed. I ordered from an online store, they sent me a completely different one. When finding out why?, they explain that this is a manufacturer’s error and according to technical instructions. UBL documentation is the same as sent. As a result, without a machine. Will anyone answer?
I bought a VEKO machine in 2013 and only last month it stopped heating the water. And all this time she worked like clockwork, without a single (!) comment. Now, I’m looking for a video on how to change the heating element, but I haven’t found it yet.
It seems like it even opens/disassembles/ from the front panel.
If anyone knows, please tell me, please:
It doesn't take long to replace. You need to unscrew the back cover like this in my model. Then, at the bottom of the drum there will be a heating element and unscrew the nut in the middle and then pull it out. And there’s also a temperature sensor there and you can take it out and call the whole thing and that’s it.Beko has a resistance from 3 to 5, and the heating element has a resistance of 28.
We bought a Beko machine in 1998. I worked at 200. And so far everything is fine, family of 4 people. We wash everything. Children work in the mine. They bring special clothing, you know what kind. My son just bought Indesit for himself and got us the same one as a bonus, we don’t know how long it lasts, but I have some doubts about BEKO. It worked very well, without breakdowns for so many years. It will stay in the garage for now.
The washing machine is 10 years old, everything is fine. I want to buy a new one of this brand and take this one to the dacha. There was one breakdown after 5 years of operation, the gear was replaced and everything was fine.
We bought the machine in 2006 and are very pleased. And if I came across the same one on sale now, I would buy it without hesitation.
Beko's machine stopped heating water and the heating element burned out. I changed it along with the temperature sensor. It still doesn't heat up, why?
I bought a Veko machine in 2001, it still works, it has never been repaired.
We bought it in 2006 and only broke in 2018.
The Veko washing machine worked for 22 years without a single comment. Replaced 2 bearings and seal. I think it will work for so long. Easily repaired at home. Well done manufacturers.
My Bekoshka worked for 15 years. I am pleased. It just “jumps” sometimes.
Today I bought a new BEKO machine. Let's see how it behaves!!!
We bought a VEKO washing machine back in 2001.Never been renovated. Not every piece of equipment can last 20 years. But most likely it is still made in Turkey. If it had been assembled in Russia, it would have been in a landfill long ago.
I bought Beko in 2006 and it still works, only during the spin cycle it started jumping a lot, the drum inside was spinning madly. I bought a Samsung, but my little old lady will be in the garage just in case. Nowadays there is no trust in machines.
