The Siemens WM12N238FR washing machine stands out for its high energy efficiency, displaying an A class and a remarkably low energy consumption of 0.46 kWh per wash. This not only allows for savings on bills but also reduces environmental impact, an undeniable asset for users concerned about their consumption. Additionally, with a generous capacity of 8 kg, it is perfectly suited for families or those looking to optimize their washing time. The model is also equipped with innovative technologies such as the antiVibration system and iQdrive, which ensure quiet operation while guaranteeing optimal washing performance. Practical features like the delayed start of up to 24 hours and the ability to add clothes during the cycle add appreciated flexibility to daily use. Its modern and integrated design, while aesthetic, may pose accessibility issues during maintenance or repair, especially in tight spaces. However, some drawbacks are worth mentioning. The absence of a load balancing system could lead to excessive vibrations during spinning, which may be bothersome for some users. Additionally, the lack of the AquaStop function limits protection against water leaks, representing a potential risk. The maximum washing cycle duration of 213 minutes may seem long for those seeking quick solutions, and the spin noise level of 71 dB may be considered high in open living spaces. Overall, the Siemens WM12N238FR offers good value for money, supported by a favorable repairability index that reflects the product's durability. Although a few aspects could be improved, this washing machine meets the varied needs of users thanks to its numerous features and reliable performance.Score details
