Customer Review

Due to the oversupply of washing machines, I looked among other things at the Stiftung Warentest after the test winners.

Property me then for Siemens WM14S443 (identical with Bosch) decided.

In the meantime, I have the machine which makes about 4 months in operation and am absolutely appalled the alleged "gentle wash" drum with my new clothes like hoodies, t-shirts etc. !!

The new garments look as if I had them washed for years. The complete Bauwolloberfläche is roughened and looks almost like peeling. In black lingerie pieces we have tiny white residue (looks like white hair ??) on the garments.

The garments I turn naturally while washing on the back.

Have both the screens controlled (all clean), and checks the water connection - it comes out enough water. On washing Mittal (Ariel Color or black liquid detergent) it is not well.

Now we have taken today the washing drum more closely with the two washing machines of our neighbors that are right next to our, compared (these are approximately 7 to 8 years old). We noticed immediately that the laundry drums with openings down and back are (ie from washing away) austestattet in older washing machines.

When Siemens WM14S443 that presents itself with a particularly gentle wash drum in the prospectuses, which many holes are made towards laundry inside. This is supposed to, break up the laundry, so that they do not so wrinkled and distribute the water better.

AND THESE ARE precisely the problem: If you move your fingers over the various openings, you immediately feel a scratchy feeling at the fingertips - on the other hand, in the above-mentioned older washing machines, complete the washing drum is internally totally without any elevations and in my case, finger-friendly and of course for the Laundry: gently!

Originally I had thought that we caught a Monday device, in the meantime, I am convinced that this is in the meantime in all the standard washing machines. The consumer is where to go today fooled !!

For me it is now very angry because my entire cotton laundry (Hoodies, T-shirts, shirts ..) on the surface of all roughened and thus look old, even though they were new and only once were washed. That's more than annoying !!!

I would like to mention that I have washed your laundry with the appropriate Easy-care programs and EXTRA even with anti-crease and Extraspülprogramm.

In the old washing machines, there were not many extra programs to adjust - for the laundry was in perfect condition. Today it has some additional programs, but to be honest: this is not really bring anything! Crease is just ridiculous, because the washing is still wrinkled, extra rinse only provides an increased water consumption.

In addition, these machines are touted with a drum capacity of up to 8 kg. Is again a swindle because if you read the user manual, it is found that the machine with coloreds must be loaded with 3.5 kg of only. 8 kg Cottons - who washes these days? For most programs, the machine just a load of 3.5 kg of laundry is possible !! Even back customers ripoff !!

What do you do now with such a machine ... in and of itself it is a case for the worn just like my almost complete wardrobe, the "on the conscience", this machine!

Absolutely not recommended - no idea how the Stiftung Warentest has tested possible without filling the washing drum with colored wash !!

ADDENDUM:

I had just the Siemens customer service representatives here who has looked at the machine:
He amazingly exactly the same machine at home and has also been completely aufgeriffelt the cotton on the surface at his worn T-shirt: his comment on it: then I pull the shirt up to just to work !!

Class What should I tell my son that he his whole new hoodies that were washed only once in the machine and now look like after years of wearing (with complete peeling) that he may so put his things in school now? !! ??

The Siemens service representative has first decide tried everything to push on the detergent (I used with my 14 year old Miele machine exactly the same detergent and laundry looked super nice also to very frequent washing - Ariel color and Persil Black- for black lingerie) then He looked in the washing labels of the laundry that I had him as an example. Again, he could not find anything (as well). After I had also told him again that I had the machine set on gentle cycle 30 degrees, reduced speed to 600 U / m and extra rinse and anti-crease, was absolute silence - what you want because even say as Siemens staff ....!
Finally, he mentioned only that the machine so an extra large capacity of 8 kg, has naturally favored that if there is less washing (max. Prescribed loading at Cottons 3.5 kg !!), the clothes in the drum of course more is tossed about, more "air" in between and of course then struck according to the "honeycomb wall". Resulting in total aufgeriffelte cotton!

I would never take a washing machine with the novel honeycomb wall !! The laundry is suffering extreme !! Better to back the "good" älterene machines with the "normal" drums. I'll also be a machine with a drum capacity of max. Select 5/6 kg and rather frequent washing.
