I was long on to consider whether I should buy a Bosch or Siemens or something genuinely favorable. But as I think I would rather make a right than 2 times to buy a compromise and perhaps to save 100 euros, I opted for this machine from Siemens. Were decisive to select separately for me the diversity of the various programs (Super 15, fine / silk ...), U / min and the temperature. Correct Class I find the possibility to enter the program end. So I load the machine in the morning for example at 8 clock, place the end of the program to 10h and then come the evening 18 clock out of the office. Lo and behold, the laundry is completed degree thrown when I arrive home. I find totally awesome. For only being transmitted not really soiled items such as once or twice carried Tops I use the Super 15 progam. This goes Ratz Fatz and the laundry is after 15 minutes again really fresh. That the machine when washing very quiet and during spinning also is still relatively quiet, I find very pleasant. Do I have the bathroom door, I'll usually only referred to the end of washing and spinning through the tone, before I did not even realize. The tone can be regulated in the volume or the way also exhibit completely. Therefore do not understand why some upset about the fact that the sound annoying. Makes him out and is good. Now they must hold only long enough. Whether Bosch or Siemens is not matter, are always the same machine with other front. Since then decides the respective price. Here was the Siemens 20, - cheaper than the identical Bosch. So I took dise here. All in all a super buy, I would make again.
