The Siemens WM14B221 washing machine was subjected to a thorough test. Equipment, handling, price, as well as the special features of the machine were considered more closely.  

Equipment

The WM14B221 washing machine from the manufacturer Siemens is a front loader, which has a capacity of six kilograms and has the economical energy efficiency class A +++. When centrifuging, the device has the centrifugal efficiency class B, with a maximum spin speed of 1400 revolutions per minute. This white Siemens washing machine has several standard programs. Also special programs, such as "Pflegeleicht Plus", mix, shirts / business, as well as sportivePlus, hygiene, Super 30 '/ 15', and wool hand wash as well as fine / silk leave no wishes open and every piece of clothing was in the test groomed. With the help of the energy optimized program "varioPerfect" this model also offers a time saving. In addition, the Siemens machine has buttons for start / pause, as well as for speed selection, crease protection, fast washing, and also for start time and temperature. The aquaStop hose, as well as the temperature, the speed, the remaining time and a 24-hour end-time pre-selection are also included in the program. The fully electronic one-button operation as well as the automatic quantity control, the foam detection, the unbalance control and last but not least the child safety device also offer a particular comfort in the test.  

The handling

As known and used by Siemens, the WM14B221 can also be operated very simply. The programs explain themselves by the signs and the display on the washing machine by itself. The power consumption of the Siemens WM14B221 model is 153 kilowatts per hour per year. The water consumption every year calls about 10600 liters. This power consumption is low, but the front loader consumes a lot of water, the washing result, as well as the washing result in the test was very convincing and also perfect accordingly.  

Various features

The well thought-out water management system called waterPerfect was very positive in the Praxistest. An intelligent 3D sensor system is responsible for the amount of laundry loaded with the machine and the type of textile, eg cotton or synthetics, to get the optimum amount of water into the washing drum. For a very good and uncomplicated Operation in the test provided the comfortable additional function in the form of a large display with end time preselection. The large, easy-to-read display allows for the highest degree of operating convenience and offers the greatest possible flexibility. It displays all the important information about the program at once, as well as the sequence, the temperature and also the speed. Also the 24-hour end-of-season code program is something very special and enthusiastically tested.  

advantages

A very big advantage is that this Siemens washing machine with the speedPerfect function ensures up to 65% faster wash results. The large display with end time preselection is also an enrichment. With the varioPerfect program, another advantage is available as it flexibly forty percent time saves or ten percent energy. The load sensing system, which is controlled by sensors, allows for water-saving washing of the laundry. An existing quick wash program washes and hurls and rinses the laundry in just fifteen minutes. So even stressed people always have a few minutes that they can invest. The main advantage of the Siemens WM14B221 washing machine is the energy efficiency class A +++, which ensures a very low consumption of energy.  

Price-performance ratio

The Siemens washing machine model WM14B221 has a fair price, which is just over 500 euros and is absolutely justified for this extensive equipment of the machine.
