Siemens WG44G2ZBNL smartFinish

We went from a second-hand Miele W5723 with a capacity of 7kg to this Siemens with a capacity of 9kg. What I think is important to realize first: most people do not buy a new washing machine every year, so the upgrade is huge anyway. I say this because I could get bogged down in details like 'oh this new washing machine seems perfect but according to the Consumers' Association it makes a lot of noise', while new washing machines are generally very quiet and your old washing machine really made a lot of noise. This Siemens has a lot of space with a capacity of 9kg, so we can often wash our bed linen and all the towels in one go. The result is that delicate laundry such as linen or silk, which I do not fill a whole drum with that quickly, sometimes stays in the laundry basket a bit longer. The cotton programs are economical but take a very long time, 3:29 at 40 degrees. You can speed up this program and then it takes 1:29h, but then it says that the load is 5kg (I don't care that much and no complaints about how clean the laundry comes out). In any case, the laundry comes out of the drum very clean and dry, which also has a handy light. And you can set a start delay, so that the laundry is ready when you get home from work, for example. I also think it is a quiet washing machine, sometimes even went to check if it was still on. However, the Consumers' Association writes: "It is also, with 55 dB, one of the noisiest machines during washing." Well, it just depends on what you are used to : ) In addition, the washing machine is easy to operate and the display shows how long the wash will take. There is no automatic detergent dosing function, but I didn't want that because I didn't really hear good stories about it. In short: a nice washing machine with which you can wash large amounts of laundry thoroughly in one go!

Only just got it but have used it twice with white laundry and colored laundry and the result is great.

Only a week left at home. But after a bad experience with another brand, I returned to Siemens. Washes well...but if you want to wash as cheaply as possible, it takes time. Many different options and programs. I'm happy with it.
