Manual of product WS12M461BY
Editorial note
The Siemens WS12M461BY washing machine stands out for its numerous advantages, including its energy efficiency class A+ and its energy consumption of only 0.93 kWh per wash, which allows for significant savings on electricity bills. With 15 washing programs suitable for various types of textiles, it offers appreciable versatility to meet the diverse needs of users. Its ergonomic design, including a front load and a door that opens to 165°, facilitates integration into small spaces while ensuring optimal accessibility. Additionally, advanced features such as the timer and 24-hour delayed start allow users to schedule washes according to their preferences, adding to the practicality of the appliance. The child safety feature is also a plus, ensuring safe use in homes with children. However, the machine also has some drawbacks. Its washing capacity of 6 kg may prove insufficient for large families or those with heavy laundry volumes. Furthermore, the spin noise level of 74 dB can be relatively high and disruptive in quiet environments. Although the energy efficiency class A+ is acceptable, it is lower than that of newer models, which could lead to higher energy consumption in the long run. The lack of advanced features such as automatic detergent dosing or steam washing programs also limits the customization of the user experience. Finally, the weight of 68 kg can complicate the installation and movement of the appliance. In summary, the Siemens WS12M461BY offers a generally satisfactory user experience, combining decent washing performance with practical features, but it could benefit from some improvements to fully meet user expectations.Score details
