Belt keeps coming off
I have been disappointed with my Beko DRVT61W tumble drier. There is a small poly V belt 4PHE226 that keeps coming off and seems to be of poor quality. This is not the drive belt but attached to it. A repair man said it was a common fault and he had repaired lots of them. I unfortunatley bought mine from Comet and can no longer have it repaired on guarantee. To make matters worse, I have now found out that the belt cannot longer be bought on it's own and is only supplied as a kit, which costs around £25. I wish I had not purchased this dier.

Better than my expensive Bosch dryer
It replaced an expensive and noisy Bosch which didn't last as long as it should have for the extra price.It's much much quieter, easy to load and empty - very efficient in drying clothes and the fluff filter is very simple to empty.Happily it doesn't have an annoying buzzer like the Whirlpool series, the engineer said he gets asked a lot to disconnect the buzzer, yes - it too was unreliable, but lasted longer than the Bosch by 8 years.Quite honestly - repairs are expensive and something always goes soon after anyhow - machines are not built to last.I now prefer to get an efficient cheaper machine and run it into the ground and re-cycle it - it works out about a third of the cost of a high end machine, none of which have justified their extra cost.(Talking about washing machines too as they go hand in hand with dryers)
