Third-party reviews

What we like about Siemens WG44B2071

  • Spin noise of 69 dB keeps evening washes quiet.
  • A 15 min fastest cycle is handy for a quick refresh.
  • Wi-Fi connects it to your phone.
  • The 9 kg drum takes a full load of bedding or towels.
  • Anti-vibration design keeps it steady during the spin.
  • Hygiene and Anti-Allergy cycles suit homes with allergies.

What we don't like about Siemens WG44B2071

  • Only 4 washing programs limit your choice.
  • At 82.8 kg it is hard to move for cleaning behind it.
  • The premium price is hard to justify for a small household.
  • Steam, Wi-Fi and the many extras mean more settings to learn at first.

Verdict

The Siemens WG44B2071 suits a busy family that washes a lot of bedding and sportswear and wants a quiet machine. Its 9 kg drum takes a full load of towels or duvets, and at 69 dB the spin is quiet enough to run in the evening. A 15 min fastest cycle helps when you are in a hurry. Water+ and soak help with heavy dirt, and Wi-Fi connects it to your phone. There is also a hygiene cycle, an Anti-Allergy cycle and steam. The trade-off is choice: there are only 4 washing programs, so most days you will use the same few cycles. At 82.8 kg it is heavy, so it stays where you put it. It suits someone who values quiet running and hygiene options more than a long menu of programs.
