Which washing machine is better than Bosch or Siemens

what is better washing machine bosh or siemensCustomers, asking the question: which Siemens or Bosch washing machines are worth choosing, are themselves trapped. The fact is that both of these brands belong to the same concern and by origin these machines are very close, but, nevertheless, are not the same. These machines differ from each other both externally and internally, and I really want to appreciate their merits in order to be able to answer this very difficult question of customers. Well, or at least try to answer it.

Not a brand, but an assembly

Modern manufacturers of washing machines very often unite in concerns, holdings, consortia. Sometimes this is done deliberately in order to make it “easier to survive” in the highly competitive home appliance market, and sometimes larger companies absorb smaller ones, thus increasing their influence. For us, consumers are not so important these corporate issues, but it is important for us who and how produces the goods that we purchase.

The Bosch and Siemens brands have long belonged to the same concern. He controls the production of products around the world, so if we talk about the quality of Bosch and Siemens machines in general, then it is about the same. But if we start to go into details, then we can reveal an interesting fact. Bosch and Siemens washing machines are assembled in different countries:

  • in Germany;
  • in Poland;
  • in Russia;
  • in China;
  • in Slovenia, etc.

Assembly is carried out according to a single technology from the same spare parts. But the curiosity, the models assembled in Germany break down much less often and serve much longer. This also applies to Bosch washing machines and Siemens cars. In second place is equipment from China (formerly Poland), it is also very well assembled.

Chinese technology has had a bad reputation for a long time, but now the situation is changing for the better. At Chinese enterprises, Bosch and Siemens equipment is assembled very carefully, and its quality is very strictly controlled.

cars made in GermanyIn third place is equipment from Poland and Slovenia, of course, it breaks not infrequently, but in general, everything is within the normal range. And, finally, the quality of the Russian assembly is recognized as the worst. Bosch and Siemens cars that buyers assembled in Russia intuitively avoid. Very often, Bosch and Siemens come from Russian factories to washing machines in stores:

  • with torn cuffs of the hatch;
  • without clamps that should hold the cuff of the hatch;
  • without shipping bolts;
  • with damaged Aquastop hoses, etc.

Of course, stores will not engage in anti-advertising. They simply send the defective equipment back to the factory. It is profitable for them to trade cheap Russian cars that are produced under German brands, so we once again draw the attention of buyers: purchase cars of German, in extreme cases, Chinese assembly. Do not trust the cars made at the Russian enterprises of Bosch and Siemens, in any case, until they improve the quality of assembly of their products.

Advantages of German washing machines

Masters unanimously claim that the Siemens and Bosch equipment is not the same as before, they say, before any machine of one of the two brands worked for 15-20 years, and now it is only 5-7 years. We wouldn’t like to indiscriminately compare the equipment that was assembled 20 years ago with the modern one. Firstly, modern cars are electronically controlled, and the old ones were analog. Secondly, before the price of materials was lower, and the technologies were different.

In particular, the tanks were made not of plastic as they are now, but of stainless steel. And there are many such examples.

Reducing the overall life of the equipment is a general trend that has affected the Bosch and Siemens machines. Well, yes, we were distracted. Let's talk first about the merits of Bosch’s washing machines.

  1. Bosch brand washing machines are perfectly protected from troubles in the form of: leaks, foaming, unbalance, voltage drops and other things. Moreover, almost all models have full protection.convenient Bosch washing program shift knob
  2. Without exception, all Bosch cars are equipped with a convenient program shift knob. The handle is quite sensitive and reliable.
  3. The inner surface of the drum of the Bosch washing machine provides excellent washing, while it does not damage delicate fabrics.
  4. Under the Bosch brand, a huge number of budget models of cars are available that are available to almost everyone.
  5. In the linewashing machines bosh there is a non-standard equipment that can be installed in small rooms.

Now we list the advantages of Siemens washing machines. We highlight only those advantages that are not characteristic or less characteristic of Bosch washing machines.

  1. Many machines have a system for automatically dispensing detergent and air conditioning. With it manages to save up to 25% of funds for washing.
  2. Most modern models have a special system that allows you to add laundry during washing. It is very convenient if you need to throw a forgotten shirt or socks into the machine.
  3. 80% of manufactured models of Siemens washing machines are equipped with an automatic laundry weighing system. If you accidentally overload the drum of the washing machine, the system will notify you.

Well, we examined the advantages of two brands of washers, and it is still not clear which Bosch or Siemens washing machine to choose. It seems to us that we need to choose not by brand, but by model, of course, taking into account the country of assembly.

washing machines Siemens

As you can see, in our review only premium-class washing machines were listed. Middle-class cars and budget options in Germany simply do not produce, only on the domestic market. Determining which is better is Bosch or Siemens is almost impossible. Whether or not to buy such expensive equipment is up to you. From our point of view, it is better to buy three washing machines cheaper in 20 years, some 400 dollars for commercials than to give away one and a half thousand “green rubles” at a time. Of course, you may have a different opinion. Good luck
