The original German manufacturer of washing machines Blomberg, belongs since 2002 the Turkish Koç Holding and is because the household and consumer appliances manufacturer Arçelik A .. (who incidentally acquired the Grundig brand) subordinate. Blomberg is to be understood solely as a retail brand and is currently part of BEKO Germany GmbH sales company. The Blomberg appliances are manufactured in Turkey. However, it seems that the Blomberg washing machines are not simply identical with Beko washing machines. It can be assumed that the Blomberg devices are designed for the German market and that as a premium brand from Beko. Whether the design differences between the two brands also follow technical differences but to doubt. 2011 Good / 2.0 /;; 2012 good / 2.0, single test / in 2013 well / 2.0 In recent years, Stiftung Warentest has tested three different Blomberg washing machines and the test results were well worth seeing (2010 well / 2.2 / /). The last two notes concerning the reviewed unit here. Additionally, the Blomberg WNF 74421 WE30 washing machine from the Stiftung Warentest was again in 2013 bez. tested the effectiveness of conservation programs, where she was positive compared with the devices of other manufacturers. The good performance of washing machines Blomberg is in addition to underline by the laudable price for money. The last argument as well as the assessment of Stiftung Warentest aroused my interest in this washing machine. From the outset it was clear that despite the very good price-performance ratio this machine is not one intended for upper-class washing machines league where the Modele of Miele or Bosch Siemens expensive equipment to play. For this lack of WNF 74421 except the now established technical solutions, such as a brushless motor, an Aqua-stop (with solenoid valve and floor trough with float), especially the refined concept of a washing machine that thinks independently. Instead, the Blomberg washing machine provides the rock-solid solutions (conventional motor, water protection system with a double hose, etc.), which are used for many years. But it does not mean that this machine is technically out of date. They lived up to the requirements of efficiency class A +++, which on one hand is the low electricity and water consumption, but on the other hand causes the austerity programs take a long time (which is, however, characteristic of the A +++ appliances of any, any manufacturer). The alternative solution provides the WNF 74421 either through the use of text or maintenance Leichhardt programs (such as Mini, Mini 14 / wash program, the 14 minutes will take /, Refresh, easy) or using electricity and water intensive standard programs (by the way the washing machines some manufacturers are equipped with highly limited number of standard programs). In short, the WNF 74421 offers several options when it comes to effectiveness, efficiency and cost of washing. Or otherwise formulating: The user decides not the washing machine itself and provided the careful reading of the manual as well as personal experience, this fact should not be regarded as a disadvantage..
