Third-party reviews

What we like about Beko B3T42239

  • A refresh program freshens clothes between wears.
  • 15 drying programs cover many fabrics.
  • A++ energy class, with 236 kWh/year.
  • An allergen program suits households with sensitivities.
  • A transparent door lets you see the load.
  • A delayed start of up to 24 h helps with timing.

What we don't like about Beko B3T42239

  • At 64 dB it is clearly audible in a small room.
  • At 41 kg it is heavy to shift.
  • A full load uses 1.95 kWh, so big loads use more power.
  • At 84.6 cm high and 60.5 cm deep, it needs a set space in the room.

Verdict

Fifteen drying programs, plus a refresh option, make the Beko B3T42239 a flexible pick for a mixed household. Its A++ rating comes with 236 kWh/year, and a full load uses 1.95 kWh. There are programs for shirts, jeans, duvets and outdoor clothing, and an allergen program for households with sensitivities. The transparent door lets you check the load without opening it. A delayed start of up to 24 h lets you time a load for the evening. The drum also keeps moving once the cycle ends. The trade-off is noise: at 64 dB it is clearly audible in a small room, and at 41 kg it is not light to shift. It suits a buyer who uses one dryer for many different fabrics and wants the choices in one machine.
