The machine was delivered quickly. She was well packaged. The guys at DHL were nice and transports you up to the desired location. Now the machine: Optical: Note 1, the contrast with the black ring is really great! something else! Operation: Note 1 - really easy and super clear Volume during washing: Note 2 - the motor hums peculiarly Volume during the spin cycle: Note 1 - completely under, even quieter than expected! Wash performance: Grade 1 - flawless! A small drawback I still have to mention: The porthole can not be completely open, it is at an angle in the middle of space, but I can live with that because I have some space in smaller rooms this is a great hindrance I can really recommend the machine and would buy again. Now they just have to keep as long as my old Siemens ..... it shows yes then
