Technically identical to the "Siemens WM14Q440 VarioPerfect" that Bosch has produced the design and especially the control panel considering for my taste, a little more appealing than the Siemens.
The large display of Bosch's an excellent feedback about the settings. So you immediately see the recommended spin speeds, temperatures, additional options for the selected programs, as well as the duration of the washing cycle at the respective settings: prima!
According to the manufacturer, the two machines of the same home only differ in the fact that the Bosch a base plate for noise reduction has (or has this indicate forget Siemens).
Otherwise, the manufacturer descriptions, even in the wording, almost equal.
Unfortunately, the data do not comply with the manufacturer's instructions Amazon.
When you look at information directly from Bosch, you can see for example that the Bosch WAQ28440 the energy efficiency class: A +++ has (just like the comparable Siemens precisely).
Beneficial is the quiet operation, including well achieved by the anti-vibration design, which all models of the "Bosch Avantixx 7 VarioPerfect" series have (indicated by a "Q" in the name).
The spinning lures the machine just a hum produced, which is barely perceive in the neighboring room.
That WAQ28440 the most economical WM's one at all, is at least evident from the data of the manufacturer.
A wash with 7kg however takes 3 hours, you choose the additional Sparmodus- but it is also faster if you are not so fully packs the machine.
I choose eg with short filling a quick program in economy mode, which 1: 15h take (this becomes even less water and electricity than in the reference program for the certification of energy efficiency "consumed") - even 15 minutes would be possible, because if one has no time ,
The remaining time display works beautifully, as actually the whole machine is doing exactly what it should.
Oh yes, did the delivery via DHL works great, my "old" have 'se immediately taken; o) (call one hour before delivery, as agreed).
