Siemens WM14Y590GB

[gm2849]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone there could advise me if the titled machine is worth the asking price. @£599 delivered it seems good with 5 year parts and labour. I know it is below the ‘durable’ £700 mark but cant quite manage that budget.

Just had the Panasonic NA-140VZ4 A+++ 10KG 1400 Spin Steam Washing Machine. Bought for £591 got £60 cashback + further cashback and thought I’d pulled a swift one getting it for £516 delivered but it developed a terrible noise issue. Parts and Labour 6 year warranty so I fully expected it to be problem free.

After engineer visit 6 when Panasonic sent out the wrong component for the second time the engineer advised call it a day.

To be fair Panasonic provided SSE with an uplift number and I’m getting all my dough back, and I do think I may have been unlucky. (Anyone know this machine and can tell me otherwise?)

If you have managed to read this far, could you advise me is the Siemens a good machine? I would hate to have to deal with the hassle of engineer’s visits and the like all over again. < No one can guarantee that wont happen I understand. P.S. It is John Lewis seller, good also?

Thanks to anyone for their help.

It’s a great machine and will serve you well. Your Panasonic story is all too typical of the brand by the way.

Hi, thanks for the advice. Just another question. Re: Samsung WW80H7410EW. any ideas if this is any good also. £689 + Offer £75 cashback so cost £614. Also 5 years parts and labour.

There’s too much choice out there.

Perhaps I should take your first response and go with that.

You took the words right out of my word processor. 😉

My experience could well be atypical, but see this:-

Hi Peter,

I did google for information on the Siemens and came upon your experience first which brought me here,
Its always a chance… e.g. the Panasonic I bought had such great reviews I thought I was onto a winner there. Perhaps its that its almost a crapshoot buying these things unless you go for a miele etc. and unless they’re doing a 50{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} cashback instalment plan…well I am going to take a chance that your experience was the exception. Here’s hoping

Thanks

Well, I do hope that yours works OK. Please let us know, after you’ve tried it a few times.

Hi Peter,

Didn’t rush into it in the end. I’m just curious have you sorted your machine and are you happy with the solution?

Sorry for delay – haven’t been here for a while.
JL bore the cost of taking back the Siemens and offering a replacement (with any +/- adjustment on price).
New one arrives on Tuesday. It’s JL’s 8kg machine – during my period of indecision (partly due to strongly considering an ISE then rejecting it due to the lack of a Cotton 30 wash and also the dictat re. detergents, none of which suit me) the price dropped by £50.

Yes, it’s the dreaded AEG/Zanussi etc. group, but I’m hoping that, with a 3-year warranty, it’ll be OK. I’ve saved up some laundry so that I can give it a couple of loads inside the first 7 days to see if it’s got some hope of being OK.
