About Haier....

Haier disappointed me last summer. In 2008 I bought a Haier window air conditioner. It was used maybe 6 hrs. during the day and then shut off at night or on just "vent". It was put away for winter and then in the summer of 2009 I got it out and installed it. It worked for about a week and then died for no apparent reason! Warranty was up by then. I have a GoldStar window air conditioner that will be starting its 9th summer this year.

Haier

Hi Guys.

On the subject of Haier. My Cousin bought a Haier washer last year, the washing performance was good, well it would be as the 60c cotton cycle took near 3 hours to do one load.

After 5 months of use it broke down as it was showing a Err7 code. The Haier engineer came out to repair it. He said it needed a new motor, so replaced the motor. He then tested the machine, and it was still showing a err7 code. He then replaced the PCB board, and guess what, yeah, still showing the err7 code.

He then said its not worth fixing cause the parts he has replaced came to £154. He then sent a report to Comet, and my cousin got a refund and bought a Bosch instead.

Think Haier are an awfull machine.

Regards

Paul

Tricity Bendix

Phil,
these are just badges, not actual firms

Some examples:

- MAYTAG is owned by Whirlpool. But in UK they don't want to be perceived as Whirlpool [wonder why ], so they outsorce DW, FL and dryers from antoniomerloni.it .
Notice these aren't the usual Servis-like AR.DO appliances but true scandinavian ASKO machines

- HOOVER in the USA has nothing to do with european Hoover owned by Candy Group

- WHITE-WESTINGHOUSE in Europe is used by SMEG, while elsewhere is owned by Electrolux

- PHILCO, SERVIS are badges owned by antoniomerloni.it , who also works as contractor for countless trade companies (Supra, Equator ...) but also for Whirlpool

- Tricity Bendix is also an Electrolux badge used on Zanussi made appliances (check link)

It's unbelievable what's behind branding ....

They play all these brands like a worldwide orchestra. Those machines we know as AEG appliances are marketed in Scandinavia also as Husqvarna. This brand here is used on E'lux chain saws and lawn mowers, so a Husqvarna washer sounds like Jack Nicholson's one in "Shining"

Now chez WP check this shot : unusual KA dishwasher ... it's just a plain rebadged "Bauknechtpool". They are introducing KA as a premium brand also in Europe [check whirlpoolcorp.com]

As for BSH orchestra check the link
