- Annoys me as the height of the door. The washing machine is with us on the floor, you can make any normal high laundry basket in front and open the door. The door is too low. In our old Bauknecht that was never a problem. If you have little space that's just annoying.
- Likewise, poorly thought out is the amount of lint. When you open it, of course, also water outside. In my Bauknecht I put a plastic bowl under it and caught the water. When Siemens that is not even possible as the opening - guess - is far too low !!! The water runs down the flap which then rests in the open state on the floor ... If one does slip a bowl under this opening something fatal: The water runs behind the flap down into the bottom of the washing machine and collects there! Not imagine what all can happen. Or else: How do you get the water out of there again? Solution: 2 strong men and the whole machine tilt ... If you open this screen is only one thing: Quite a lot of towels paid on the machine and make it exactly where the water hinläuft.
- There is no use to liquid detergent to stop until the machine Water flushes in these detergent compartments. That is when I einfülle liquid detergent it runs immediately back down in the laundry. On top of that you always have to work using the help of a detergent dosing, because thus there is a lack of course a scale in the machine where I can get my bearings. Is not that bad, but quickened by the hand with my old machine.
- This Siemens model is in my opinion not suitable for washing powder! No matter how much detergent you use, the washing is never properly flushed and was later while wearing lingerie a gritty feel to the skin. Remedy it by pressing the "extra rinse" button. Then the wash cycle will take longer but again, not exactly environmentally friendly. To use only liquid detergent is best, that's where the big joke because there's just no use liquid detergent (see previous point) ...
Why do I still forgive 4 stars? This is due to the washing performance with which I am basically satisfied. The laundry is clean after what is the most important criterion for me. The laundry is then not soaking wet. This Siemens machine is really very geräuchearm. Especially in the spin cycle it is not as noisy as some other models. I can safely walk at night without letting that someone feels disturbed. Good is also the remaining time display, which I never want to do without again! The machine beeps several times a short distance when it's through, and reminds me of the obligation to hang the laundry. The programs can be easily controlled without knowledge. Although most of it is nonsense and is not used by us, but a disadvantage is not also represents. The machine is not so extremely difficult. I, woman, she could with my husband played in the basement. If I can really save with the engine power, I do not very pretty, just where the river almost every year becomes more expensive! After more than a year, I can see no technical problem with the device.
I hope that Siemens still holds a few years! However, I would pay attention to the things above me the next purchase. Although there are several reasons, I would have noticed these things before, I would have decided against this model. Everyone should these things envisage and then decide for or against the machine. From my brief honest 4 stars.
----- ----- Supplement 05.13.2014
We have the machine now for almost 2 years in operation. She still works properly. Is perhaps for one or the other interesting to know, that's why I wanted to mention here just once after a long time.
