My father tends to buy Grundig when it comes to washers and dryers, they usually last a few years. My father doesn't really know how to do laundry though, so in your case.. It might last a lot longer lol. I've used it once (when I was visiting and just had hand luggage on the plane) It came out clean and the dryer got it completely dry |

Grundig is owned by Arçelik in Turkey. They also own Beko, Defy, Altus, Blomberg, Elektra Bregenz, Leisure, Flavel, Arstil and Dawlance. IIRC Defy is better known in South Africa. Here's the link to the Defy site:

Thanks, but that really doesn't tell me anything. I'm just an ignorant hillbilly from oklahoma. They look and sound like quality appliances though. |

Well Bruce, I could give you my opinion on these appliances, but that wouldn't help much either I suppose. What counts is that Matthew now knows more about the appliances he wants to purchase.
Let me just say I would prefer Bosch over Grundig, but that's me. Grundig is indeed cheaper than Bosch, which is worth considering when you want to buy something. |

You are right about that! Price does make a difference. I'm sure Bosch is a good appliance. I have had one dishwasher by Bosch and it did a really good job. |

Was a high end German stereo and radio here in the states sold in the 60s mostly, I didn't know they ever made anything else. |

Grundig once had fingers in many consumer electronic/appliance pies.
Ironically Grundig pulled out of an arrangement with Phillips over issues regarding quality. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grundig... www.grundig.co.uk/stories/max-gru... |

I also agree with Foraloysius, and would also side with the Bosch appliances I don't think that the Grundigs are as top quality as they would suggest, its more of a rebranding game I suppose. Like dressing up a pig, its still a pig. |
