Amazing efficiency, great performance but homewhiz is useless – Received this unit 4 days ago. I was a bit underwhelmed at first as the build quality appears rather fragile, in particular the door is made of plastic with a thin aluminium hinge. It does however worked extremely well. I've done a few loads already and always used the "Mix" program. In 2h it all came out dry and feeling smooth. This unit uses much less energy than advertised. It's amazing really. a 2h15m drying cycle will just use a tidy more than 1kWh, so it costs under 15c for drying 6kg of clothes if you do your washing in off-peak time. I've never seen the unit draws more than 600W, and it usually hover between 300 and 450W.
It's a rather quiet unit, I can barely hear it outside of our laundry when the door is closed.
HomeWhiz is nothing more than a gimmick, it's only use is sending you a notification when the drying cycle is complete or let you know the door of the dryer is open. To control the dryer with the app, you must first enable "remote control" mode on the unit. Unless you do so first, you can't start the unit remotely or do any programming features. If you leave the door open for too long or turn off the dryer, it turns off remote control mode.
I haven't noticed any weird buzzing sound as another review here mentioned.
So 4 stars because of HomeWhiz and because of the door. Oterhwise I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Manufacturing flaw - buzzing noise – This is a great dryer in terms of performance but unfortunately it appears to have a manufacturing flaw as there is a loud buzzing noise that comes from the fan section of the appliance. We noticed this from the first day it was delivered. Beko customer care very kindly arranged for a new machine however the second machine had exactly the same problem.
I have now requested to return the appliance for a full refund as I have no confidence that further replacements will not have this issue.
Purchased for $1,095.
