I am very surprised at how well this machine washes. At first I was skeptical because it was not thrown at the 15-Min.Programm. I had 1 sweater in it and knew only after researching on the internet at Bauknecht, that too little was in the drum and therefore was not thrown out of safety. The same thing happens, incidentally, also if you use just the spin cycle for 1 part. Now I did further tests and everything was great!
