Advantages: cheap

Disadvantages: none yet

A couple of days before christmas my hover washing machine which cost over £300.00 when i bought it packed up .It just stopped spinning.That was all i needed a couple of days before christmas.All the shops were very busy,currys ,Argos,comet etc.Plus when you buy white goods such as washing machines ,fridge etc they are usally delievered within 14 days,which was no good for me with 3 children and a mountain of washing.
I had a thought, and of i went to B & Q ,sounds mad but they now sell nearly everything.(I know because i work for the company who distrubutes all there stock)Anyway of i went and had a pick of about 20-50 different types but they had to come from a warehouse ,which was no good to me.
In store there was a small selection,That is were i came across the BEKO WA1512 s
With me having a discount card i got 20% of the price,so the instore price of £199.00 only cost me £159.20.So i had no thoughts but one (get me a trolly this is coming home with me)
Under £160.00 for a silver washing machine try and beat that.
Anyway i bought it and got it in my car and of home i went.A new washing machine and i didnt have to wait for it to be delievered.

INSTALLATION

Installation is just so easy.You have a plug (which you just plug in) and a outlet pipe ,which lets all the dirty water out.You just hook it onto your old outlet pipe, or if you have never had a washing machine plumbed in before you can just hook it over your sink.
And lastly this is the part that got me a little is there is only one water pipe which you connect to your cold water.I thought were is the hot water pipe ,Well of i went to my naerest currys and i asked the assistant who told me and then showed me that all new washing machines now only have one water pipe.
So now i knew that it was ok i just connected it to the cold water pipe,Like i said before if you have not had a washing machine plumbed in before you will have to buy a connector to fit on your cold water pipe,most currys ,comet,or diy store sell them.
Once done turn it on.

LOOK

The look is quite nice it has a control panel which is easy to read a control knob which you turn and a few buttons on the front which are
ON/OFF
QUICK WASH BUTTON
RINSE HOLD BUTTON
EXTRA RINSE BUTTON
ANTI-CREASING BUTTON
The buttons just do what they say.

COLOUR

The colour is silver and it is quite a nice deep silver.

USE

It is a front loading machine with a pull out tray were you put the powder.
It has a load of 5.5kg which in every day terms means it holds quite a lot of washing,(Even the pricey ones only hold 5.5kg-6.0kg)so there oyu are not missing out.
It has a spin speed of 1200 which is not the fastest but all the same is not bad.
When it is in full spin it is pretty quiet .

SPEC

Wash load 5.5kg
Spin speed 1200rpm
Dimensions 60cm width 54cm depth 85cm height
14 wash programes
AA rated wash and energy performance

SHOPS

You can buy this washing machine from many shops currys,argos, comet and not forgetting B & Q.
The price is £199.00 from most of them but if you know someone with a discount card it would be worth giving them a call.

OVERALL

I would recomend this machine to anyone it does almost everthing a really expensive machine does.
This machine has a tolal of 14 wash programes and if like me i only use about 2 so if the expensive ones have more programes ask yourself do you need them and more importantly are you going to use them.

Summary: why but expensive ones
