Third-party reviews

What customers like about Siemens WD15G442

  • A 1500 RPM spin leaves clothes drier before drying.
  • Washing is quiet at 52 dB.
  • Delay start can be set up to 24 h ahead.
  • A shirt cycle is included.
  • A waterproof program suits functional and breathable textiles.
  • The display shows the time left.

What customers don't like about Siemens WD15G442

  • A full wash and dry uses 118 L of water.
  • Annual energy use is 1088 kWh.
  • The longest combined cycle runs for 810 min.
  • At 81 kg it is heavy to move.
  • Spin noise reaches 74 dB.

Verdict

The 1500 RPM spin helps the Siemens WD15G442 leave clothes drier before they reach the dryer. The 8 kg wash and 5 kg dry suit a family, and the wash class is A. Washing is quiet at 52 dB, though the spin is louder at 74 dB. Timing is flexible: you can delay the start by up to 24 h and a shirt cycle is included. A waterproof program suits functional and breathable textiles. The drum holds 56 L, and the display shows the time left. The trade-off is water and energy: a full wash and dry uses 118 L per cycle and about 1088 kWh a year. It suits a household that wants quiet washing and a fast spin, and does not mind the running costs.
