Best Beko washing machines for affordable, high quality cleaning power
Best for: large capacity Maybe there are a lot of you. Maybe there isn't, but the few of you that there are, are all monstrous stain-magnets. Or maybe it's some savage combination of the two wherein there are loads of you in the household and each and every one of you ends the day by looking like you've been rolling in something down the park. In any of these scenarios, you're going to need a large capacity washing machine, and from the Beko range, I reckon you can't do better than the Pro AquaTech B5W1241aW – the machine for blitzing the bejesus out of stains of all shapes, sizes and sorts. So, rated 'A' for energy efficiency, here you find a yawning maw of some 12kg, meaning you can load up to your heart's/house's content, prior to plunging into the 15 programmes it has on offer, which are: Anti-Allergy, Cottons, Darkwash/jeans, Download cycle, Duvet/Downwear, Eco 40-60, Quick/Super quick, Rinse, Shirts, Spin+Drain, Sports, StainExpert, Steam therapy, Synthetics, and Wool/handwash, so pretty all-encompassing when it comes to the average family, unless one member dresses solely in cashmere, silk, leather and suede, of course. Featuring a maximum spin speed of 1400rpm, the B5W1241AW has some oomph, while it adds to its energy green credentials by also being a RecycledTub model, meaning it too is 10 per cent former plastic bottles, so your purchase saves sea life. As above, IronFast comes as standard to save you getting bored at the board, as is the usual (at this point) suspects of a time remaining display, automatic half load, automatic unbalanced load control, variable spin speed selection, variable temperature selection, 24-hour time delay, rinse hold, and child lock. But now also with the addition of an interior light, the 'AquaTech' of the name, which uses water power rather than jerky drum movements to treat your laundry as gently as an aquatic lamb, and Bluetooth connection through the HomeWhiz app for mastery over your machine wherever you are. A mighty machine that's capable of cleaning up the clothes of a veritable cluster of even the clumsiest of crowds, the Beko B5W1241AW goes big in all ways, but still manages to keep the cost of ownership under a monkey.

UK households keeping semi-skimmed milk in fridge door issued warning
Beko has cautioned that the way you organise your fridge could be shortening the shelf life of your food and drinks — especially if you store milk this way. UK families who tuck their semi-skimmed milk into the fridge door are being urged to rethink their habits. Appliance giant Beko is alerting consumers that such storage methods could be shortening the shelf life of their groceries, potentially hitting pockets hard. Beko's research has disclosed that households in the UK chuck away around £250 worth of grub per head annually. For a household of four, this loss soars to £1,000 - and incorrectly storing perishables could be to blame for their premature spoilage, reports Birmingham Live. Scores of British families are renowned for putting their milk into the fridge door, with seemingly perfectly-fitting shelves installed for such large bottles. But according to a Beko boss, this isn't right - and there's a more optimising place to keep your milk, to ensure it doesn't go off too quickly. Salah Sun, the Head of Product Management at Beko, said: "The way we organise our fridges can make or break our efforts to reduce food waste. Most people don't realise that poor fridge organisation isn't just about aesthetics – it directly impacts food longevity and your household budget." My life has changed since cutting out one food several days ago So, where should milk be kept? Sun conveyed the importance of understanding your fridge's climate: "Temperature fluctuates within your fridge, so storing items in the right zones is crucial. The bottom shelf, being the coldest, is perfect for raw meats, while the middle shelves maintain ideal conditions for dairy and prepared foods." He further added: "The door, often used for milk, is actually the warmest area due to frequent opening." With this in mind, Beko suggests: "We recommend keeping more stable items like condiments and drinks in the door compartments, moving milk to the middle shelf where temperatures remain more constant." By arranging your fridge smartly, not only do you cut down on waste, but you might also find yourself cooking more meals at home and opting for healthier options, as per Beko's advice. The brand highlighted the importance of good storage by pointing out: "Plus, maintaining optimal storage conditions means your fresh produce lasts longer, reducing both waste and shopping frequency." Ecover shed light on the sobering statistics behind plastic recycling with their statement: "In 2016, less than half of all plastic bottles were collected for recycling and only 7 per cent of those were turned into new bottles." Ecover didn't mince words about the dire consequences of plastic pollution, saying: "The resulting impact on waterways and marine life is, to put it bluntly, horrifying – with an estimated 12.7 million tonnes ending up in oceans each year."
