We purchased Siemens iQ300 Front Loading Automatic Washing Machine a few years before.After two years and two months, water leakage resulted when washing machine was switched on for the purpose of washing.I called the service engineer who informed the cost of replacement and material amounting to Rs.15, 000/-.Its drum got cut resulting in its replacement with the front loader of washing machine.It was really humiliating as the Siemens iQ300 Automatic Washing Machine was used by us only twice a week.It was a manufacturing defect and I will recommend my friends to avoid any purchase from Siemens as their service centre is useless.
