The Siemens WK14D543GB 7 kg integrated washer dryer uses autoDry sensors to finish each drying cycle at the dryness level you pick, so your clothes come out iron-dry, cupboard-dry or extra-dry without being overheated. This iQ500 washer dryer spins at up to 1400 rpm and dries loads of up to 4 kg, while aquaStop protects your home against water damage. It is a fully integrated, built-in machine.

Washing

The 52-litre drum takes up to 7 kg of washing, and up to 4 kg goes straight through to drying in the same machine. It is rated energy class E for both washing and the full wash and dry cycle. The eco 40-60 programme uses 77 kWh per 100 cycles and 44 litres of water per cycle, while a full wash and dry cycle uses 266 kWh per 100 cycles and 68 litres. Spin noise is 72 dB(A), in noise class A, and the spin-drying efficiency class is B.

Programmes and controls

A rotary dial and buttons give you programmes for cottons, easy-care, mixed fabrics, delicates and silk, wool and hand wash, sportswear and a night wash. There is also an Allergy Plus programme. Options include water plus, prewash, rinse hold, easy iron and intensive stains. You can set the programme to finish up to 24 hours later, and the display counts down the time left and shows drying progress.
