Our washing machine Bauknecht is now 2 1/2 years old. Warranty is according to the expired 6 months ago. Well, what can I say that was not a guarantee but a best-before date. We had a complete engine failure. At first she was during spin louder and then she no longer thrown. The laundry was like under water. Our mechanic was shocked but not surprised. He said he knew Bauknecht washing machines and are sometimes very striking. The best thing about the matter is that the engine has been designed so that you can fix it impossible. Unless one is a passionate hobbyists with welding machine in the basement. We are very disappointed by Bauknecht! If the impression of planned devices expiration ignore. Never again Bauknecht. The service was not the least bit accommodating.
