"Bosch stands for reliability, sustainability and well-engineered technologies". Are we to assume therefore, that the other three brands in the portfolio don't embody those principles?
Good friends of ours had a Bosch dishwasher that all but burnt their house down. Luckily they were at home and awake. They lived in a hotel for 6 months while the house was repaired/rebuilt.
The whole problem with modern brands is that they are massively cost engineered; they hide behind the fiction that low price is demanded by the consumer. The consequence is potentially lethal products - dishwashers and tumble driers are the main culprits (see Which reports), or ones that are not really repairable when they go wrong (e.g. replacing washing machine drum seals is a thing of the past).
