My uncle had 5 Baumatic integrated washing machines in 2 years, what a load of rubbish they were. On one the installer forgot to take out the bolts, one's concrete weight came apart etc. One didn't even last a day! It was just a rebadged Servis RainWave.

No idea what there hobs and ovens were like, just some second-hand experience with the washing machines.

They had some machines, dishwashers and ovens (not so sure on the ovens) made dor them by fagor, they had some machines made by gorenje, siltal, daewoo, haier, vestel and midea. Looking through a brochure on thier french site, they have some hobs made in France, so possibly De ditricht (fagor, basically) might be producing them for baumatic.

Jacob, that picture you posted is of a Servis-branded machine, so it wasn't actually made by Baumatic.

Yeah, and what wasn't made by Turkish manufacturers or the French was made by Antonio Merloni.
I'm pretty sure that they didn't manufacture anything and only had the sale and atersale infrastructure and little else, no real manufacturing plants anywhere.

Can't say I'm surprised, it was just generic no brand stuff. Same with CDA, just stuff bought from the cheapest brands going, haier and vestel to name a couple.

Chris, only two of them looked like that, the later three were different and the later ones broke earlier than the Servis-badged ones.

Darn it, had a Baumatic integrated tumble dryer installed back in February.

It's just a rebadged White Knight.

Guess they won't be honouring the warranty when the bearings go then ;-)

And Hoover/Candy! just remembered that they made a few washers for Baumatic. Nickuk, the good thing about WK dryers is that most independent engineers know them like the back of their hand when it comes to fixing them :O)
