I bought the siemens washing machine a 07-16 two years back one for me and another for my friend. The warranty period was two years. Exactly on the expiry of the warenty period my friends wash drum came off from its place. He had to spend inr 6000 for that. (siements are true to their words at least in giving the warenty period) after two months the same problem came to my machine. The replacement drum sent by the company was also defective and they took one full month to make the machine operational. If you have made up your mind to buy a siemens machine buy another spare machine along with that.
