Truly a wonderful machine , elegant, slim[ space saving], quality wash, smooth operation, simple controls, and easy to keep clean.
The amount of clothes [ load] vary according to the wash cycle. One learns the art of adjusting the load with time. The type of fabric matters, some clothes are too heavy when immersed in water eg. thick bedsheets, heavy jeans etc.
Space was the main reason why I went for this machine. Siemens was the only machine which had this slim option. Though expensive we as a family are really pleased with this machine.
I had made a detailed study of all the top loading and front loading machines before deciding to go for this one. Brand name also matters. Siemens is one of the best brands in front loading machines in the world, of which I now can testify. It’s true that the price is quite high, but as seldom seen ’Good things rarely come cheap’.
As for durability I cannot really comment as it’s just been 3 months since I purchased this machine. Siemens sells by repute rather than aggressive advertising and marketing. I was recommended to go for Siemens by my relations abroad who have been using Siemens machines for the last 6- 7 years.
Except for the price this buy was truly satisfying.
