While you look at the Siemens washing machine can not complain about the quality of washing, you should think twice and look around, see if there are quieter machines, provided a use in the home is provided. The processing of the machine is in order and matches the price class, only the detergent drawer acts being evil rickety and unstable. The door closes tired of the metal hook ensures secure closure. The wash results are consistently good, the spin performance, especially when fully loaded with heavy fabrics, but could be better. The major shortcoming of the machine, however, is the volume. Even at a mere movement of the drum with your hand a grinding noise can be heard, which becomes even more so when washing. The engine may well interfere with its high whistling. Especially during the spin cycle, the high-frequency hum is still very uncomfortable. The touch buttons work very well, however, are quite sensitive, so you have to be careful in narrow spaces, make no unconscious and unintentional changes during the washing process. All in all, a reliable machine with good washing results that can be quite straining your ears, however, as long as you are in the immediate vicinity of the device.
