At the IFA 2026 trade show, Siemens unveiled its IconicEdition washing machine, a top-tier model designed with a minimalist look that mimics glass and includes a redesigned touchscreen interface. The machine has a maximum capacity of 11 kg and uses 30% less energy than the class A standard, making it more efficient and environmentally friendly. The design focuses on blending seamlessly with home decor, especially when used with a matching dryer in a stacked setup. A large touchscreen with intuitive icons and a light bar called iconicPulse are included to monitor the machine's status and progress through its cycles.
The IconicEdition features a 70-liter drum, larger than the usual 60 to 65 liters found in standard models. This increased size improves fabric agitation and reduces wrinkles during the wash cycle. The machine can spin at 1,400 revolutions per minute using a direct-drive iQdrive motor, which is more durable, energy-efficient, and quieter than traditional belt-driven motors. These improvements contribute to a better washing experience and lower energy consumption.
The IconicEdition also includes the i-DOS system, which automatically dispenses the correct amount of detergent and fabric softener. It features a scanning function that uses a smartphone camera and the Home Connect app to identify the detergent type and adjust washing settings accordingly. Additional features include varioSpeed, which reduces cycle time, and SmartFinish technology that uses steam to soften fabrics and cut down on ironing time. All these functions can be controlled remotely through the Home Connect app, offering users greater convenience and flexibility.
The IconicEdition washing machine is designed to be more energy-efficient, consuming 30% less energy than the class A standard. However, details regarding its availability and price have not yet been announced. Siemens is expected to provide more information in the coming months as the product moves closer to market release.
