Whirlpool Professional Becomes Beko Professional
- 16 Jul 2025
As you may be aware, Whirlpool EMEA and Arçelik (parent company of Beko) completed a merger in 2024, forming a new unified company: Beko Europe. As part of this transition, the Whirlpool Atlantis top-loading machines were phased out in mid-2024 and the Front Loader Laundry equipment and Microwaves in early 2025. The next step in this evolution is the discontinuation of the Whirlpool Professional brand, which is being replaced by Beko Professional.
What Does This Mean for You?
In practical terms, very little will change. Blue Badger secured the remaining stock of Whirlpool Professional front-loading laundry equipment and the PRO 25 IX microwave, which we have been actively supplying throughout this year. As this stock is now running low, we felt it was the right time to introduce the new range.
The new Beko Professional range will look very familiar - the products are manufactured in the same factory, to the same specifications, and with very similar SKU codes: AWH912-PRO-BP / AWZ9HP-PRO-BP / PRO25IX-BP
The only visible change is the updated Beko Professional branding. These models will be phased in gradually as existing Whirlpool Professional stock is sold through, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted supply for you and your customers.
AWH912-PRO-BP Washer Transition
The Whirlpool AWH912/PRO is no longer available and its successor, the Beko Professional AWH912-PRO-BP, will not be released until early 2026. To avoid any supply disruptions, an identical interim model is being supplied under the Bauknecht brand: AWH912-PRO-BAUK. This unit is exactly the same in appearance and specification, with the only difference being the brand label.
What Does Blue Badger Have is Stock Now?
Shown below are the remaining Whirlpool units currently available, along with their upcoming Beko Professional replacements. This includes the interim Bauknecht AWH912-PRO-BAUK washer used during the transition.
