Beko vs Hotpoint — Comparison

The Beko B5W59411AG at £489 and the Hotpoint HP 124GA CARE UK at £599 are both 1400rpm washing machines, but they differ greatly in capacity. The Beko is a 9kg model, while the Hotpoint offers a very large 12kg drum.

The Beko B5W59411AG uses AquaTech, which moves the drum gently and efficiently to wash faster while being kinder to fabrics, and RecycledTub construction made from recycled materials, in a graphite finish. Its 9kg drum suits most households of up to four or five people. The Hotpoint HP 124GA CARE UK offers a 12kg drum, which can handle king-size duvets, large loads of towels and big family washes in one go, reducing the number of cycles per week. Hotpoint's CARE-branded models typically include fabric-care and stain-removal features.

Choose based on household size. For most families, the Beko's 9kg capacity is ample, and it saves £110 while offering faster AquaTech washing. For large families, those who wash bulky bedding often, or households with lots of sports kit, the Hotpoint's 12kg drum can save time and energy by reducing the number of loads. Both spin at 1400rpm, so drying times will be similar. Check the dimensions, as larger-capacity machines can be deeper.

Bottom line: choose the Beko B5W59411AG at £489 if a 9kg drum suits your household and you want fast, gentle AquaTech washing. Choose the Hotpoint HP 124GA CARE UK at £599 if you need a large 12kg drum for big family loads.
