Looks very Chineese produced to me!!

Looks exactly like a Teka machine.

Bendix/Teka

Teka owns quite a few companies and was founded in Germany.

Nice looking washer & dryers. Wonder how well they're made. Overseass, they offer 220v. condenser washer/dryers.

looks like they feature the indesit drum...and the soft line range is exactly like the Thor ones i saw a few months ago on the thor website, still glad to see the bendix name on a washing machine again...seen as over here there all Tricity Bendix made by electrolux.

Have a look at this website, under dryers and washer-dryers, you'll see who makes them. The Italian company BOMPANI.
They also make or made machines for Equator and Splendide before the new models made by Indesit company.

The ones on the Bompani website are Antonio Merloni machines.

Ick, 1 year warranty and a message to the effect that we are "striving" to be the Bendix your grandparents knew. Sorry, not for me. But was excited for a minute or two.

I think Jon has got it

these are rebadged Haier units, but this machine takes a step up from the 1.7 to the 2.5 cu ft drum so it must be a bigger machine.

still good to see the bendix name being used again tho... haier are pretty bad...having said that our haier is almost two and has had no breakdowns...im actully surprized it hasnt broke yet.

The lower end version

looks like a mid-90s Indesit to me. I know Haier sell these machines rebadged in some countries, so that would make sense.

If they're the same internally as the older Indesit variants, they shouldn't be half bad machines.

OMG!

The 'Softline' range looks like UK Indesit Omegas!

 

[favorit]

Not surprised

The Indesit Omega are round 20 years old models

Manufacturers at a point replace production lines with newer ones to save on labour cost and to have faster throughput.

They often sell old lines in some Far Eeastern countries, so ...

 

[servisslimline]

Holy Cow!!!!!!!!

the softline washer does look like an indesit but the dryer looks like some sort of servis maybe? but they do not look like a matching set at all and as for the pro series theyre just haier/teka made machines rebadged, and i was really exited when i saw the name of the thread but now im gutted, 1 because theyre haier made and apparently theyre not so good i hear and they dont look reliable at all to be honest and im not happy about it, bendix are probably going to have a bad reputation now, anyone agree? phil
