What we like about Siemens WR47B2C40 iQ700

  • At 57 dB it is quiet enough to run in a living room.
  • The 9 kg drum takes a full load of towels or bedding.
  • The self-cleaning condenser cuts down on upkeep.
  • The feedback option adjusts drying as the load dries.
  • Wi-Fi and voice assistant support let you start it from a phone or by voice.
  • The mini load function handles small batches.

What we don't like about Siemens WR47B2C40 iQ700

  • At 52.3 kg it is heavy to move around the house.
  • The ECO cycle takes 265 min, which is slow.
  • Premium price for a single dryer.
  • Some app settings, such as notifications, are hard to find.

Verdict

Quiet running at 57 dB is what first stands out on the Siemens WR47B2C40 iQ700. Its 9 kg drum handles a full load of towels well. The feedback option lets the machine adjust drying over time, and humidity sensors and a memory function help repeat good results. Wi-Fi, smart pairing and voice assistant support let you run it from a phone or a speaker. It can also take new programs through the app. It is a dryer only, not a combined washer-dryer, and that is part of why the results are good. A self-cleaning condenser means less upkeep. The trade-offs are size and speed. At 52.3 kg it is heavy to move, and the ECO cycle takes 265 min. It suits a household that wants a quiet, connected machine and does not mind a long eco cycle.
