Editorial note
The Siemens WM12S42XEE washing machine stands out for its energy efficiency, with a consumption of 1.03 kWh per wash and a washing class A, which helps reduce electricity bills. Its generous capacity of 8 kg makes it ideal for families, allowing for large loads of laundry to be handled at once. Additionally, the delayed start function of up to 24 hours provides usage flexibility that adapts to your schedule. Its modern stainless steel design and front loading add an aesthetic touch to any space while facilitating access to the drum. Advanced features, such as the Hygiene/anti-allergy program and the Rinse Plus function, ensure thorough cleaning and are particularly useful for individuals with allergies. The presence of child safety also ensures a worry-free use. However, some drawbacks should be considered. The maximum washing cycle duration, which reaches 205 minutes, may be too long for those seeking a quick wash. Furthermore, the lack of a load balancing system can lead to excessive vibrations during spin cycles, thus affecting the stability of the appliance. The weight of 81 kg can also make the machine difficult to move, which can pose problems during installation or cleaning. Overall, the Siemens WM12S42XEE offers good value for money thanks to its washing performance, robustness, and practical features, although its limitations in terms of washing duration and weight should be kept in mind.Score details
