Siemens I-Dos

[l86810]

Hi Everyone,

Seen this on-line a few weeks ago. But thought I'd start a thread to discuss.
I think it looks like a really smart machine.

The addition of the 2 new Automatic programmes looks interesting too.

Heres a link to the advert, which 'TheSamsungFreak' has kindly translated to english...

That is very cool. Been a while since I have seen anything new/useful on a washer. Nice work BSH!

That is interesting. Similar idea to GE's Smartdispense system sold in the US, but more practical as it doesn't require an add-on pedestal.[this post was last edited: 8/13/2010-15:27]

That looks like a toy! Plus I use as much as 7 detergents I think I wouldn't need the I-dos

Like to dose it myself

For me the great dosing system is one that Miele used to have on 80s.. you select how many ml"s of detergent you want.. All these were machine will put as much as detergent as she like well.. I would rather stay to the traditional ones

This is an awsome feature for people that don"t wanna think about laundry, and it"s faaar better than putting approx. dose.. I even saw cases where people take the bottle and just spill detergent in the draw without any measuring... afterwards they are complaining that their washer isn"t rinsing good xDDD

Would love to play with that machine

are those bumps in the tub wall and are they perforated as well??

The bumps - they call them "drops" - have five holes around them.

Siemens model number = WM16S843

Heres a description of the machine (in German) but it gives us the model number.

I've been looking for a manual on the machine, but again its only in German

Bosch model number = WAS32843

This is the Bosch equivalent.

Same problem with the manual as above.

Will have to keep my eyes peeled
