    Verdict

    The Siemens WG56B2A40 iQ700 (10 kg) is a high-performance washing machine with a powerful spin speed of up to 1600 RPM and excellent energy efficiency (Class A), consuming 51 kWh per 100 cycles. The i-Dos system automatically dispenses detergent and softener, saving up to 38% per wash. Operating quietly at just 49 dB during washing, the machine includes 20 advanced features such as AquaStop with a lifetime guarantee, Wi-Fi connectivity, and voice control. Smart functionalities include self-cleaning, intelligent diagnostics, and consumption statistics. On the downside, the program range is limited to 13 cycles, and the ECO cycle is lengthy at 235 minutes. The heavy weight of 82.2 kg, the absence of a load balancing system and allergen cycle, and the high price are the main disadvantages of this premium model.
