What we like about Siemens WM14E425

  • A 15-minute quick programme suits lightly soiled laundry.
  • The 180 ° door opening makes loading and unloading easy.
  • The Shirt cycle and anti-crease function keep shirts neater.
  • Foam control helps when too much detergent goes in.
  • Water use is matched to the size of the load.
  • Overflow protection and unbalanced load detection add safety.

What we don't like about Siemens WM14E425

  • Energy use is high at 75 kWh per 100 cycles for an A class machine.
  • The 77 dB spin is loud, and it can whistle.
  • The door seal can wear early and let water out.
  • Rubber parts are not covered by warranty, so a seal repair could fall on you.
  • There is no anti-stain function and no automatic dosing.

Verdict

The Siemens WM14E425 has a 15-minute quick programme that is handy on a busy weekday. It holds 7 kg in a 55 L drum, and the door opens wide at 180 °, which makes loading easy. Washing is fairly calm at 57 dB, but the spin is loud at 77 dB and can whistle. Water use is 49 L per cycle, and foam control helps if too much detergent goes in. The main trade-off is energy use, at 75 kWh per 100 cycles, which is high for a class A machine. The Shirt cycle and anti-crease function keep shirts smoother, and AquaStop guards against leaks. Child lock, pause and add and a 24 h delay start come as standard. It suits a busy household that washes lightly soiled clothes and cares about shirts.
