The Serie|6 washing machine with AntiStain, removes reliably the most common stains without ease and without pre-treatment.

One other welcome feature is the drum cleaning reminder. If you run 20 consecutive wash programmes at 40c or under, then the machine will automatically remind you to run the dedicated Drum Clean programme to prevent unwanted build-ups of detergent or bacteria – or, indeed, both. As this is something that’s easy to forget, it’s good to see it integrated as standard. For smaller homes or flats, the Quiet Wash option may be something of a boon, too. This isn’t a noisy machine, but the Quiet Wash mode lowers the noise levels even further. This makes it ideal for setting a wash going last thing at night or first thing in the morning.
