Since my Miele is acting up, I decided to look on Kijiji to see if there was anything interesting. I came upon this ad...I can't for the life of me see what's in the picture!
I have e-mailed the seller, asking for a better pic. He tells me is is an older Blomberg. He can't take another pic right away because it's at his parents house. I've never heard of Blomberg, were they ok quality? Can anybody make out the model by the pic??? Guy CLICK HERE TO GO TO bellalaundry's LINK |

....and regret not bringing it back to Oz with me in 2004. Admittedly, it was new in 2001 when I bought it, but it never even looked like it was going to stop....
The older units are heavy and built to Miele standards as far as I am concerned - certainly, my partners German grandmother thought very highly of the brand when she found out.... |

Well, "modern" Blomberg machines are more or less Beko in disguise as they come out from the same Arcelik plants in Turkey! |

Well, you could also argue that modern Beko have a lot of Blomberg DNA in them.....and the solidity of the machines, particularly the more expensive ones, would seem to reflect this....
...and their reliability and wash performance has come on in leaps and bounds over the past few years - just as I said it would 2yrs ago..... Personally, I don't think having a Beko in the house should be considered a bad thing - especially a newer one. |
