Loading display inaccurate too expensive

Loading display inaccurate too expensive

Siemens IQ800 WM14Y54D washing machine front loader / A +++ / 1400 rpm / 8 kg / white / reload / varioPerfect / ecoPlus (Misc.)

Customer Review

Caveat: I wanted the machine to give three stars because of the price, however, is here once again risen to 100 euro were due to the price-performance ratio just two. Even less for 100 euros you get new Siemens washing machine models 1600 revolutions. The price is in my opinion only so high because this machine was test winner at Stiftung Warentest.

per:
Temperature in 10 degree increments adjustable (my main reason to buy)
-Good, clean washing results
Programs for 2 to 4 kg
-after washing gear indicator whether was overdosed

neutral:
-no fluff sieve (advantages and disadvantages)
-Dosierungsempfehlung Must be converted for 40/60/75/100% loading, loading display but imprecise and in many detergents, the dosage of 4-5 kg ​​machine is specified, so that here must be converted again
as a guideline but usable
- Appearance of taste. I find it not so nice, especially the black at the porthole. More beautiful than in reality images.

Cons:
-Beladungsanzeige - Inaccurate and very variable (for me but also a major reason to buy)
-to expensive (see above)
-Bedienungsanleitung Regarding first use

First of all the positive: I use significantly less detergent than before. Have a couple of times the display of overdose usually get, so I was able to reduce the wax agent dosage further. A Rezensorin here gave me the tip that Ariel Flüssigwaschmit contains dosing information for 8 kg Machine. This conversion would easier. Unfortunately I can not confirm that.

Contrary to many opinions, this 8 kg machine is also well suited for a single-person household. I wanted a bigger drum because I wash my oversized comforters itself. But there are also, for example, a program that is designed towels for 3,5 kg of laundry. That everyone gets full. Only the program is designed for cotton and 8 kg and even that I sometimes get crowded. In vinous loading the program adapts.
In my old 5 kg washing machine I often had too much laundry to a drum, because I have to collect the laundry, of course, and in winter by heavy sweater etc. suddenly exceeding 5 kg dirty laundry was then available. Today that does not happen more. Thus, I have less washing machine movements per week than before and consume less detergent. That alone saves. Because it does not matter that a wash load ECO can also take 3.25 hours, I wash, too less. Granted, a 7 kg washing machine would have been enough, but now have the newer times every 8 kg.

Now for the negative: loading display or built-in balance
A program is selected, z. B. Maintenance Easily 4 kg. A bar will appear, this fills the more laundry is loaded, the maximum load is reached, the bar flashes. So the theory. In practice, the bar graph is always a different way, depending on what will be inserted for laundry and also how.
I also asked myself even more with and without underwear on a bathroom scale to determine the actual amount. I was uncertain whether an error was not present and had therefore can get customer service to Siemens, which incidentally was friendly knowledgeable and fast. The price is too high for a faulty device easy.
The service technician then has managed the laundry so easy to interject that an overload beam appeared. He has demonstrated to me that the loading indicator is available with and without washing, depending on how you press the drum. That has something to do with the drum insert. But stuff sometimes do not cease. The technician has tried loading using a 2 kg program. We have the laundry then reweighed. The overcharge was shown at 2.9 kg. I told him that would be but almost 50 percent more than his laundry announced for the program. He said I should not take it so seriously, this scale, this scale would after all not as accurate as a personal scale. You can not overload a washing machine, only the clothes would be wrinkled when overcharged. He found it but good that I called about it. The technician was free, although indeed existed not a defect.
The next time you wash everything was displayed correctly, but only just not say anything, for whatever reason.

The manual is really good, almost too easily explained. But my last machine purchase is more than 16 years ago. I had read in forums that you have to make an empty wash cycle with new machines. Now came the machine, I have the manual from time pressure once skimmed over (one that is wash can be as simple). Little reference to the empty wash lt. Page xxx I have read. I thought then that must probably not be here. My first 70 degree wash was then red spots everywhere. The thing with the empty wash cycle was all about big describes on the penultimate !!! Page. After the Aufstellhinweisen (I had made).

I have long thought to return the washing machine. But I'm not as the return type and now I have to get a feel for the amount of washing and the dosage. That's why I keep the device. But the main features touted the washing machine as dosage and loading display is of limited use. The machine has many useful programs, but had my aged 16 privilege washing machine also and this washed very clean.

To my mind here the value for money is simply not true. I would buy this unit again.

Addendum:
After two months of use, I've found that the machine manages to kill the sweat bacteria even at low temperatures. Before, I often had the problem that a clean laundry muffelte wear after two hours. There was only a 60 degree wash.
Therefore I have given but the machine is upgraded three points. Unfortunately hooked the Ausstellknopf.
