Whirlpool
Now, I cannot swear to it but this looks a lot older than a current model to me, more like mid 1990s, if not even older. They claim it has not been used

Bejam Microwave
Well here is a name from the past - Bejam was a pioneer chain of shops to promote the sale of freezers - so they sold almost entirely frozen food out of chest freezers. They sold freezers and a small selection of other appliances too. As far as I remember the Bejam name disappeared around 1988 or so, not sure if they became what we know as Iceland today

Ah, it's dishwasher month!
Yes, the AEG is from the mid nineties. I bought my first AEG in 1994, a 578, due to problems it was replaced by AEG in 1995 with the model 6060 (for a little extra I got a higher end model), from the new line with four digits. I think this line was replaced already again in 1997 or 1998 IIRC.
The Whirlpool is from not too long after the full take over of Philips by Whirlpool. It doesn't have the typical Philips upper rack. So my wild guess is that the Whirlpool dishwasher is from the early nineties.

Alistair,
The Whirlpool is like no dishwasher ever sold here.

It's a European Whirlpool, before Whirlpool took over these appliances were sold under the Philips label. The Philips appliances were great appliances, the later European Whirlpool not so IMHO.

Louis,
I was going to guess that, but was not sure. It's difficult to keep up these days with so much extreme global sourcing of things.
Was it 1990, 91, or 92 when Whirlpool absorbed Philips white goods?

Philips
It was more like towards the end of the 1980s, here at least. At first they became Philips Whirlpool branded, and later Whirlpool. My first washing machine, dryer and dishwasher, bought in 1979/80 where all Philips - washer and dryer (front loading of course LOL) were manufactured in the UK, the dishwasher in Germany I think. Philips also manufactured washing machines in France. I am very pleased to have examples of both the washer and dryer in my collection although they are not the originals I bought.
I will say though I did buy a Whirlpool oven in 2003 and it was actually quite good.

Philips/Bauknecht
Whirlpool bought 53% of the Philips stock in 1988. The rest was bought up in 1991. Philips Whirlpool products were built in that period. Whirlpool products after that.
Philips and Bauknecht dishwashers were built in Neunkirchen in Germany. Like more Bauknecht plants, they were closed by Whirlpool. The plant where the dishwashers were manufactured, was taken over by ZF, the transmission manufacturer including 240 workers.

Ah, Louis,
so Whirlpool closed a bunch of plants like AB Electrolux did here.
ZF is a large employer here as well, in both design and manufacturing for mainly Chrysler and Jeep transmissions.

Green Kitchen
It has the 60mm thickness effect worktops which might be difficult to replace. Still, good price though

Neff Single Oven
Mid 1980s - I never really liked this style but I can see now that it has a kind of retro charm. be that as it may, it will be an excellent oven
