A new washing machine should be it. For purchase, there were several criteria which decisively influenced my purchase decision. My choice has fallen on the Siemens iQ300 WM14E425 washing machine. What experiences I have now made with the Siemens iQ300 WM14E425 washing machine, you can see this experience report.  

Reasons for the Siemens iQ300 WM14E425 washing machine

Very well the washing machine should be processed, which should include among other things also different programs. Also, the washing machine should have a large volume. The energy and water consumption, which should be as low as possible, was also insignificant. Another factor which was for us a purchase criterion is the price for the washing machine. This should, of course, be as inexpensive as possible without impairing the quality of the processing or the performance data of the washing machine. All these factors has best met the Siemens iQ300 WM14E425 washing machine. On the paper convinced us the washing machine from Siemens fully. How good the Siemens iQ300 WM14E425 washing machine is but ultimately, had to show the practice.

Handling the Siemens iQ300 washing machine

The handling of the washing machine looks only at first sight due to the variety of programs, somewhat complicated.

Energy consumption of the washing machine from Siemens

As already mentioned, the Siemens iQ300 WM14E425 washing machine also played an important role in energy consumption. Especially with regard to costs, these should, of course, be as low as possible. And indeed, here you have been convinced of the energy consumption of water and energy. According to the manufacturer, the annual energy consumption is 165 kilowatt hours and the water consumption is 10686 liters. The 15-minute wash program is also worth mentioning. Just when you do not have much laundry or it has to go fast, the 15-minute washing program is a great thing, also because the energy consumption is correspondingly low.  

Defects in the washing machine

However, the Siemens iQ300 WM14E425 washing machine has not convinced us in every respect. So we found two deficiencies when using the Siemens washing machine. The first lack is the volume of the washing machine from Siemens in operation. Although according to the technical data this is not very loud, it has turned out differently in the washing machine. The second disadvantage relates to the weight of the washing machine. This weighs 67 kg, which makes it very difficult despite the modern design. In the case of these two deficiencies, a subsequent improvement by the manufacturer should be carried out. The two deficiencies have no effect on the functioning, but on the convenience.
