What we like about Siemens WM14VG43 iQ800

  • The 9 kg capacity takes a large family wash in one go.
  • Washing noise of 49 dB keeps the cycle quiet.
  • Built-in Wi-Fi lets the machine link to a phone.
  • Three programs under 1 hour give a quick option.
  • Automatic drawer cleaning keeps the detergent drawer tidy.
  • Spin noise of 70 dB stays calm at the end of a cycle.

What we don't like about Siemens WM14VG43 iQ800

  • At 72.6 kg it is very hard to move.
  • There is no steam function for refreshing clothes between washes.
  • There is no automatic dosing system, so detergent is measured by hand.
  • Spin noise of 70 dB is still noticeable in an open-plan room.

Verdict

The Siemens WM14VG43 iQ800 is a high-performance 9kg washing machine with an A-rated energy efficiency. This quiet model operates at just 49dB during washing and 70dB during spinning, featuring six spin speed options from 400 to 1400 RPM. The machine includes smart connectivity with Wi-Fi, voice control capabilities, and an intelligent wash assist function through the Home Connect app. It comes with 16 specialized programs including Cotton, Quick Mixed Load, Night Mixed Wash, and specific cycles for Shirts, Jeans, and Outdoor wear. The VarioSpeed function can reduce washing time by up to 60%, and the machine includes convenient features like the StayClean drawer with automatic cleaning, interior lighting, and the ability to save favorite settings. Safety features include AquaStop protection and remote diagnostic capabilities. The spacious 65L drum accommodates larger loads effectively. Energy consumption is efficient at 48 kWh per 100 cycles. The main limitations include the absence of steam technology, no special drum design according to manufacturer specifications, no allergen-specific cycle, and a relatively heavy weight of 72.6kg.
