A Siemens built-in washing machine is fully integrated: it sits inside a kitchen cabinet with a furniture door fixed to its front, so the line of units continues unbroken and the machine is out of sight. It suits open-plan kitchens and anyone who would rather the laundry blended in. Before buying, check the size of the housing and the plinth height. Also check the size and weight of furniture door the machine can carry, and that you can reach the water, waste and power connections.

Siemens pairs this hidden design with a full set of wash programmes and a fast spin. You'll find the capacity, noise and energy details on the product page.
