    Beko DRX823N brings 8 kg capacity through heat pump technology with 11 specialized programs including BabyProtect Hygiene, Down, and Express Super Short. The AquaWave drum system generates wave-like movement to reduce fabric stress while EcoGentle technology preserves clothing colors through air conditioning condensation drying. OptiSense automatically adjusts energy consumption and time based on load while the Fusion Filter requires cleaning only twice yearly. The 40 kg design operates at 65 dB with compact 56.8 cm depth and built-in drum light. Energy consumption reaches 1.95 kWh per full load with 197-minute ECO cycles and post-drying drum movement for up to 2 hours, though missing Wi-Fi connectivity, smart diagnosis, and limited to only 8 features compared to advanced models.
