Fortunately there were in November 2013 by a washing machine test by Stiftung Warentest. Wanted, found, and found this machine among the 3 best. Initially convinced me the price / performance ratio and the large capacity indication.
Comes complete with a laminated Quick Guide with magnetic stripes to attach to the machine and a 58seitige Operating and assembly instructions.
The machine itself makes a stable impression and provides high quality is made.
Immediately after the delivery problem was the machine ready for use.
First, the large loading door falls on. After switching on and open the hatch of the drum interior is illuminated. The controls are illuminated.
The programs can be selected with a rotary knob, the six additional functions are operated via pushbuttons. The temperature, spin speed of rotation and the setting of the end times are set via a touchscreen.
In addition to numerous standard programs
The standard programs are:
Cotton
Easy to clean
Fast Mix
Fine Silk
Wool
Towels
Rinsing
Skid
Pumping
Easy Care Plus
Super 15
Pillow

Outdoor / impregnate
there are still the so-called Additional functions.
The additional features are:
ecoPerfec to conserve Energiet
speedPerfect shortening the program time with slightly soiled laundry
Crease

The Quick Guide is sufficient for the first wash. Most washing programs are intuitively adjustable.
If you have then dealt in detail with the machine, then one realizes that there is a device setting. The following settings can be made to:
Ready signal volume control
Key Signal volume control
Language German / English
Auto Power Off Time Setting
The consumption values given are can check only the long-term test. In any case, the advertised values are significantly better than with my old machine.
The washing machine has an intelligent sensor system:
Automatic load
Load sensor
Recommended dosage
Unbalanced load detection system
Is unusual that you first select the program and then fills in the laundry, so that the maximum load can note this is specified in each of the selected program in kg and during loading, there is a bar that shows the load proportionately. Here also, the dosage recommendation is illustrated read.
After selecting a program, you can regulate temperature and spin speed, but not all combinations are possible.
The washing result is good, even after selecting the short program, but can only a gentle cycle are selected, so I usually have to again select the spin program with about 15 more minutes at the highest level.
Quick Facts:
+ Large loading door
+ Capacity up to 8 kg
+ Illuminated control element
+ Lighted Interior
+ Dosage recommendation on the display panel
+ Good washing results
+ Very low noise level
- Temperature and spin speed is not completely individually possible in some program codes
- Only low spin speed the Super 15 program (15 minutes) possible.
Conclusion:
I was first the low volume very pleasantly surprised when washing and in particular during the spin cycle. This machine, with its low noise especially for apartment buildings located within the apartment suitable (I speak from experience the immediate family). The large capacity possibility had me convinced before buying. So you can wash almost all the linens in a washing cycle. The illumination of the controls and the drum interior have it done to me. As you can see, even without additional lighting, such as how long a program is still running.
I am delighted with this machine, it gets me a five star rating.
