Energy class A keeps consumption low with 308 kWh and 77 liters per 100 combined cycles, exceeding most washer-dryers. Includes an elegant control panel, automatic detergent dosing and Smart Pairing with dryers. With 14 programs, Wi-Fi connectivity and app-based troubleshooting, it covers a wide range of needs. However, it lacks an internal drum light, consumes more water than other models, and doesn't support multi-stage drying. It is silent during washing but louder when spinning or drying. For those who prioritize fabric care, intuitive features and energy savings, it's a complete choice.
