Electrolux are definately brand 'reducers' They currently own the following brands in Australia that have recently manufactured... Chef Simpson Westinghouse Hoover.... Hoover went several years ago. Westinghouse no longer have washing machines/dryers. Chef have a reduced range of ovens, hotplates, upright stoves etc yet have a fantastic reputation and their ovens, along with Simpson and Westinghouse are as good or better at cooking the many Bosch, AEG and Miele. Simpson have a full range and are now the 'value brand'. The Electrolux brand has been positioned in the mid-top end in our domestic appliance market now where once Westinghouse held that mantle for locally made product... Just as a side note, they also own 'Pope' which merged with Simpson in the 1960's and 'Malleys-Whirlpool' in addition to Hoover Australia. On a side note to Electrolux, our Maytag badged European front loaders were Hoovers but are now the Baukneckt version of Whirlpool.... So much for variety... |
