Another new washer :) Siemens ASR

[jwilson00]

The AEG LL1620 lasted me 10 months and 4 repairs later has now been returned due to re-ocurring electronic faults that no one has any idea why there happening.

So yesterday i returned the AEG and got the Siemens ASR.
My only issues i've got with the machine is its noisy, and the door lock isnt instant, but other than that loving it so far.

Enjoy the pics

so far so good with the rinising, it displays on the screen when its using its "hydro-sensor", been using liquid detergent so far, and everytime so far its been deleting rinses, the only other programme i've used so far is the easy-care dark and used ariel colour tablets and it did 4 rinses.

Just been so used to having brushless motors from having the hotpoint and AEG that it probably sounds noiser than what it really is but its taking some getting used to

Havent used any of the 14 stain programmes yet, so more things to uncover

Very nice machine....I wonder why we dont have that here in the Colonies. Love that drum. How much wash does that hold? Kinda reminds me of the drum I have in my Miele. Except that mine are octagons and not rounded teardrops.

Sounds like a nice machine jay! Take it being a water stingy siemens the water levels are always low?

Lovin the cascade!!!

the machine holds 7kg, the bosch version says it holds 8kg but siemens say 7kg for less creasing.

The water levels are low level but you can increase the level in the wash and rinses with the "hydro-rinse" or water plus
The easy care dark has high levels in all the rinses, and extra water for the wash apparently with the stain option it raises or lowers the water level and adds in soaks. It should be interesting to see what is does differently.

Hi jwilson00
How's your new washer running, i've heard bosch machines have a universal normal motor. is it same for siemens too?
Please can you tell me how long the 40oc cottons program takes?
Thank you!

 

[jwilson00]

Hey dyson2drums

Yep it still uses a universal motor, the one thing i hate lol, i did a full load of my large JL bath sheets and you could it put a strain on the motor so wont be doing that again, where as my AEG just powered through it. For the price of the machine i would of expected it to have a brushless motor considering i paid more for it than the AEG.

As for the wash times, a 40oC cottons takes 1:10 on light, 1:33 on normal and 2:02 on intense.

But these times can also vary depending on what the hydrosensor decects, most of the time i've been using the machine its deleted a rinse knocking off about 15mins.

Gonna try the dirty socks stain setting to see what it does, although it says it takes 3:27 lol .

Also from what siemens have told me bosch and siemens are the same on the inside its just the features that are different, but i do know that my siemens has been made in germany i dont know if all of the bosch machines still are.

Yes, Siemens and Bosch washers indeed do use universal motors, but that makes them easier to fix and you don´t have to replace the entire motor if something is broken on it. I still have my AEG washer which never struggled at tumbling and even at spinning at 1800 rpm.
But I still do like your washer! If mine breaks down, I´ll buy a similar machine matching to my new dryer which is arriving soon.
Ignore the noises the motor produces, it´s a very lovely machine which will last for more than only one year. Bosch/Siemens washers are always rated as good as Miele from a german costumer magazine.

Hey jay!
Its sounds like a nice machine! Are you happy with it so far? I bet those paddles are really effective and fun to watch them showering the load!

Will you be uploadin any vids

hi...!

Nice machine! What liquid detergent are you using? I’m looking forward to the video’s! Can we have a photo with the wash and some suds please?

 

[jwilson00]

Hi variomatic, The washer has actually nicely completed my siemens set, i've got the matching dryer which i've had for two years and believe me i work it lol, and just the other week i got a siemens dishwasher which i love, its sooooooo quiet, and the dryer just has a quiet hum to it. I have noticed though that as a spare part an AEG brushless motor is cheaper than a siemens/bosch motor, which i found quite strange, as i would of thought it be the other way round, or are brushless motors cheaper to make these days.

Hey darren i'll try and get some vids up soon as, probably be friday when im off still trying to get through all the washing

Hi northernmary have been using the bold infusions liquid tabs, became a bit obsessed with buying them cause they were on offer in different places and have ended up with loads lol. But have some of the powder as well, cause its PINK!!! hee hee, ( the things that please me ) that gets quite sudsy so i'll take a couple pics I'll also be interested to how the hydro sensor likes bio powder.

Just ran the dirty socks cycle, interestly, the washer soaked the socks in just clean water for an hr, doing one complete turn every so often, then it dispensed the detergent, and filled to the rim of the door, washed and instead of using the hydro sensor for the rinses, did 4 standard rinses.

Hi Jay, thanks for the information...so I´ll go on buying the Siemens dryer cause my retailer has problems to get it and so I cancelled the buy. I´ve got a Bosch dishwasher as well, which I really like..I´´ve got it since Decembre and it´s doing very well so far.
Pink washing powder...gay..ehm, YAY..LOL! I want to have some as well ;-)
