Since I have more than 8 years selling washing machines, I know really what makes today are still recommended and which are not. Of course, a 400 Euro washing machine with the same Energieverbräcueh like an expensive washes. But with every manufacturer savings have been made in terms of build quality, which affect the service life of washing machines properly.
Here are some comments about the brands, ordered by increasing quality:
-Bauknecht: Is whirlpool grits with a lifetime of currently about 5-7 years. The build quality is very cheap. Innovation can not be found here. Bauknecht is really just a brand ...
Price:; camp = 1638 & creative = 19454 & creativeASIN = B0094XZVR6 & Linkcode = as2 & tag = db084-21 & LinkId = VSSSEH3QIOTLNOCJ
-Bosch / Siemens: fine workmanship, is in a higher price range as Bauknecht, but price / performance default, highly recommended.
Price:; camp = 1638 & creative = 19454 & creativeASIN = B0095RP94Q & Linkcode = as2 & tag = db084-21 & LinkId = 7WEPDOYJ26KOWQWD
-AEG: Has massively reduced, therefore is on the same level as Bosch / Siemens.
Price:; camp = 1638 & creative = 19454 & creativeASIN = B009PJZ7A0 & Linkcode = as2 & tag = db084-21 & LinkId = SLOGQO6JYPJ5I4A5
-Miele: Here was also saved and made partly abroad (before). Generally still applies at Miele but: Miele is not expensive, it's price value. Stainless steel tub, honeycomb drum, best automatic load (here are metered and the rinse water) We own a Miele home and these washes for 11 years at 21 ° dH water hardness. No shortage tuned, nothing broken out from the plastic, no rust because enamelled housing, is like ne one even during the spin cycle, no engine wear by Carbonless PWM drives. The is actually new.
