Manual of product WM12N228FR
Editorial note
The Siemens WM12N228FR washing machine stands out for its excellent energy efficiency, rated A, which allows for savings on electricity bills while reducing environmental impact. Its 8 kg washing capacity is ideal for families or households with a large volume of laundry, thus optimizing washing time. Innovative technologies such as iQdrive and varioSpeed ensure optimal care for textiles while reducing the time needed for each wash. However, some drawbacks deserve to be highlighted. The spin noise level of 71 dB may be perceived as high, which could be disruptive in open living spaces. Additionally, the absence of an AquaStop system may pose a risk in case of water leakage, which may concern safety-conscious users. While the 8 kg capacity is sufficient for domestic use, it may not be suitable for large families with greater washing needs. Finally, the maximum cycle time of 213 minutes may seem long for those seeking a quick solution. Overall, the Siemens WM12N228FR offers a positive user experience thanks to its practical features such as delayed start and garment addition function. Its modern and sleek design, with a front load and side door opening, facilitates its integration into various spaces. However, improvements could be made, particularly in terms of safety and acoustic comfort, to fully satisfy users.Score details
