I bought my seimens drier which started having issues 3 months to the 2year warranty expiration. The technician repaired it three times. But it never performed as when it was new. Since then(the machine is about 4hrs old) it as been nothing but a headache. It does not dry clothes, the water leaks the lint goes everywhere but in the lint box. Right now I am sitting with a useless box. For the price Siemens charges for this product I would tell anyone thinking of buying it to stay clear off. YOU ARE BETTER OFF SPENDING YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE!.
