Third-party reviews

What we like about Beko BW1O3821W

  • At 52 cm deep it suits a narrow space.
  • An 8 kg drum covers everyday washing.
  • The 60 kg weight keeps the machine steady during spin.
  • Automatic dosing takes the guesswork out of detergent amounts.
  • The 15 programs include shirt, duvet, baby care and wool cycles.
  • Steam technology and a self-cleaning function add care options.

What we don't like about Beko BW1O3821W

  • There is no pre-wash cycle, so heavily soiled items need an extra step.
  • A maximum spin of 1200 RPM leaves clothes a little damp.
  • Spin noise of 74 dB is loud at the end of a wash.
  • Each cycle uses 47 L of water.
  • At 60 kg it is hard to move for one person.

Verdict

Slim at 52 cm deep, the Beko BW1O3821W suits a small flat where space is tight. It holds 8 kg of laundry, enough for everyday washing for a couple or a small family. The 15 programs include shirt, duvet, baby care and wool cycles, and automatic dosing measures the detergent for each wash. Its 60 kg weight keeps it steady during a spin. The trade-off is the spin: at 1200 RPM and a C class for drying, clothes come out a little damp, and the 74 dB spin is loud. The display and time remaining indicator make it easy to follow a cycle from start to finish. It suits a buyer with a small space who washes often and wants a simple, budget machine with plenty of cycles.
