What we like about Siemens WG44B2040 iQ700

  • Energy use of 40 kWh per 100 cycles keeps running costs low.
  • The wash at 49 dB and the spin at 70 dB are both quiet.
  • A 10 year motor warranty gives long-term confidence.
  • Three washing programs finish in under an hour.
  • Wi-Fi and eight downloadable programs add new options.
  • Mini Load is handy for small loads.

What we don't like about Siemens WG44B2040 iQ700

  • At 82.8 kg it is very heavy to move, so it needs a permanent spot.
  • Thirteen washing programs is a short list for a machine with this many extras.
  • Wi-Fi and downloadable programs depend on a connection.
  • It is a premium machine, so the extras only pay off if you use them.
