As our old washing machine has been received, we immediately needed a replacement - and the Siemens WM we best appeared on the characteristics (energy consumption, diversity of programs) - and fulfills these requirements in practice. Unfortunately, the delivery of the World Cup lasted more than 1 week, and the delivery date specified is not met (as between a weekend was especially annoying when you now sitting on mountains of dirty clothes). Blame for the delay has allegedly the forwarding company, as this ignores the specified delivery date of Amazon and has simply meant on Friday they can not deliver to us but only on Monday again. The delivery itself has then worked without problems. What I would like to say to the washing machine: Here you can choose to only discrete values (eg water temperature 30, 40, 60, ... degrees, but not, for example, 33 degrees as it was possible with our previous World Cup). But there is only one small flaw - otherwise very good washing machine!
