The Siemens iQ500 WM14Q442 washing machine as a front loader was tested as a washing machine for a family household. Siemens as a manufacturer has a good name and also in this category of products is characterized in the test, that this good reputation confirmation finds. This machine is ecological and with its achieved values harmless and the seal of quality A +++, was also confirmed in the practical testing. With an energy consumption of 139 kWh / year this machine with its enormous capacity in the test was positively noticed and was also compared to similar products of other manufacturers very advantageous. The customer really gets what the manufacturer Siemens also promises and offers. With 1400 rpm the laundry already achieves a degree of drying, which also saves energy in the dryer.  

This washing machine convinces with its economical values with the energy class A +++

The manufacturer Siemens has created an innovative and effective solution for washing the laundry for private households. This machine reached values which otherwise only reach professional devices and the customer can be sure that all the specifications given by the manufacturer are finally fulfilled. About 9240 liters of water a year are consumed when this machine is used effectively for washing, that also confirmed in the economical wash cycles in the practical test.  

Here, once again, all the valuable advantages of the Siemens iQ500 washing machine from the test:

- Very high product quality - iQ drive motor for efficient washing - very durable motor without brushes and contacts - very quietly - 15 wash programs - efficient economical use of energy and water - water quantity is automatically matched to loading - save VarioPerfect simple operation for time and energy - a +++ 20% effective - soft drum with a capacity of 7 kg big - very gentle treatment of the laundry - very pleasant design - LCD Overview washing programs - easy operation  

The test and the individual functions

The test should prove whether the indicated functions such as the AquaStop or the 15 minute wash program function effectively. The points were met perfectly and the machine works precisely in every detail. The presentation and the processing were also important criteria, which found particular attention in this test. Similar other manufacturers also offer such features, but are then more expensive in the end. With this model, Siemens provides the optimal ratio between price and performance that results from the economical use, which is positively different from the thresholds of the energy efficiency class. This creates efficient reserves that other manufacturers do not offer and achieve. Safety as an example is important when you place your machine in the home. The AquaStop, for example, also offers a floor tank or, better, a sink in the water that should leak in spite of the AquaStop. In the event of a leak in the supply line, for example, this intelligent solution automatically interrupts the supply and the test also proved this.  

Easy and safe operation

Complex machines also tend to be complex in operation. The test proved to be the opposite for the washing machine from Siemens, because simple operation via the central switch in conjunction with the display is simple and easy. Also the detergent addition works optimally and so the user can do nothing wrong with saving. An example is the 15-minute wash program supe15, which is about washing smaller amounts of laundry as well and sparingly in a short period of 15 minutes. Also lightly soiled laundry can be cleaned so intensively and this saves energy, water and detergents. This test proved to be very beneficial, because it is not always necessary to have a big program to have fresh laundry. This machine has been particularly positive in the test, as the varioPerfect function provides optimal logistics during operation. All in all, all the savings were fallen by about 20% and this is simply very strikingly positive.
