Beko vs Hisense — Comparison

The Beko BM5WT6943TA at £369 and the Hisense 3S WF3S1243BW3 at £379 are both 1400rpm washing machines, but the Hisense offers a huge 12kg drum compared with the Beko's 9kg, for just £10 more.

A 12kg drum can wash king-size duvets, large loads of towels and big family washes in one cycle, reducing the number of loads each week. The Hisense WF3S1243BW3 is part of the 3S range and typically uses an inverter motor for quieter, more efficient running. The Beko BM5WT6943TA comes from Beko's higher-tier range, which typically includes steam programmes and fast washes, with a 9kg drum that suits most households.

For families or anyone who washes bulky items, the Hisense's extra 3kg is outstanding value. For smaller households who value Beko's features and do not need a huge drum, the Beko is slightly cheaper. Check the depth of the Hisense, as larger machines can be deeper, and ensure it fits your kitchen or utility space.

Bottom line: choose the Hisense WF3S1243BW3 at £379 if you want a huge 12kg drum for only £10 more. Choose the Beko BM5WT6943TA at £369 if a 9kg drum with Beko's features suits your household.
