Product Information

With the Siemens WM14S79BUK in your home you’ll always use the correct amount of detergent. It’s all thanks to autoLoad Plus. This clever sensor weighs the laundry load and recommends the appropriate detergent dosage, whilst at the same time monitoring and controlling the amount of energy and water needed, according to the load size.

Getting rid of awkward stains is also breeze. The Siemens WM14S79BUK's fantastic autoStain Removal System (ASR) doesn’t need any pre-wash treatments, stain removers or harsh chemicals - just load the clothes, choose the appropriate setting, and the machine does the rest!

And have you ever found your favourite outfit isn’t ready to wear? You’ll really appreciate the 15-minute express for small loads - the perfect quick wash when you’re really, really in a rush! There’s also a timer delay to 24 hours, large capacity 8kg drum and even a special wash program to take extra care of your loose lingerie. You can also vary the temperature for manually tailored washes. Dedicated cycles are also available for easy care dark clothing, outdoor wear, shirts and blouses, and even curtains!

The Siemens WM14S79BUK's digital sensing technology controls load imbalance, temperature accuracy, detergent overdosage and water levels, and guards against leakage - in fact Siemens guarantees 100% anti-leak protection for the life of this machine. A standard short wash facility reduces wash times by up to 40%. It’s quiet too (56 decibels), applying the latest acoustic technology to all its components, creating as little as 75 decibels when spinning.

This washing machine is particularly good for washing woollens with a gentle drum cradle action and a special ‘ultimate woolcare’ system. A 3kg mixed fabrics wash programme enables you to wash a half load at a low temperature in just 50 minutes, and it also offers a handwash programme and safe care of silks and delicates. Also includes child lock and LED display.
