With the quality I am very satisfied, it is very quiet and the Waschergebnissse are very good. The criticized by some spin noise, unfounded. There is nothing Loud or High frequency, that would be distracting or annoying. Who criticized these noises, his washing machine should not be put into the "bedroom". I'm saying that this criticism is totally covered.
Siemens is at this price in every respect a great device. I have it on bekonmmen Warehouse for 385.00. Locally I would have to pay more and the supply would also have to pay up to the site extra (30.00 to 40.00). At Amazon, including and not only up to the curb. One should think about that one for a Miele gets at least 3 Siemens appliances and the difference in equipment and washing performance is m. E. irrelevant. If you look at it closely, you really need almost only the basic programs and a short program. The other things you never or rarely use. And the thing with the minimal lower electricity and water consumption of more expensive devices should also skeptical look. The Siemens needs very little, you now need times a certain minimum quantity for ordinary washing, below is a certain amount of water, does it at the expense of washing and rinsing result. And considering that the very economical machine in case of a family budget just 2m2 water = ca.18,00 / year and 10 kWh = consume about 2.90 / year less, in most cases, it takes almost a washing machine life until it is profitable, almost never.
I had also taken into consideration before buying a BEKO and Blomberg, but then I (in equivalent parameters) but decided because of the small difference in price for Siemens, because I think that is better developed at Siemens in case of damage of the service and the Siemens is a bit more workable.
