Review

What this product is

Written after the analysis, from the same sources the score is built on: the manufacturer's documentation, available studies and verified owner feedback.

Beko's product page gives 49 kWh per 100 cycles, 49 litres per cycle, 75 dB(A) spin noise, 1,400 rpm and 76 kg. It does not state the Eco 40-60 duration, and we found the spin class (B) and noise class (B) only on testbericht.de. The page lists a ProSmart inverter motor with a 10-year guarantee badge, SteamCure, HomeWhiz connectivity and WaterSafe+ leak protection.

Stiftung Warentest graded it 2.1 in issue 11/2025. Beko's press release quotes washing 2.1, durability 1.8, handling 2.5, environmental properties 2.5, protection against water damage 1.4 and repairability 2.1, and calls it the cheapest good model in the test at an average market price of about €490. The testers' summary on testberichte.de adds that it becomes somewhat loud when spinning and that the remaining-time display is unreliable.

It suits buyers who want a tested machine for the least money: we saw €387 at a Kaufland marketplace seller. The compromises are the noise, a durability grade below the three machines with 1.0, and little owner feedback — 4.0 stars from just 10 Amazon.de reviews.

Component scores

Where the score
comes from.

Four components, equal weight, each on a 0–10 scale and each resting on a named source. The overall score is their mean — the full procedure is in the methodology.

  1. Composition and specification7.0

    Declared composition and specification: active ingredients and their concentrations, energy classes, standards, technical parameters — and what the manufacturer leaves unsaid.

  2. Evidence and studies7.8

    Verification of the manufacturer's claims against outside sources: laboratory reports, industry testing, safety data sheets, certificates and regulatory decisions.

  3. Owner feedback6.8

    Analysis of verified reviews written after extended use, together with recurring fault reports for the model or series.

  4. Cost and value9.0

    Price set against what the product actually delivers, plus costs incurred later — consumables, energy, servicing, subscriptions — over the lifespan typical for the category.
