I believe what RobsonMKK meant: "BSH markets, in addition to the main brands Bosch, Siemens, Gaggenau, and Neff, also the brands Junker and Viva. Likewise, BSH markets the brands Thermador, Balay, Coldex, Constructa, Pitsos, Profilo, Ufesa, and Zelmer in various countries." Source: Wikipedia Maybe there are some models where this does not apply, but in many models, only design details really differ, for example, in some dishwashers the basket is red in NEFF, blue in Siemens, the rest is identical. Whether you can find StudioLine equivalents at NEFF, I do not know, for example. To my knowledge, the Slide&Hide oven is currently only available at NEFF. Large areas of the product range do have significant overlaps, and I think that is what RobsonMKK was referring to.

Thank you ! Most of the devices in the BSH group are identical in some way (ovens, dryers, washing machines, dishwashers...). And of course, there are always exceptions; you can easily compare it to the VW group.

Only with Siemens should you be careful. The brand in BSH should also appear price-aggressive and enable MediaMarkt to have a promotion for 349,- per washing machine, which they do not do with Bosch. They then take a device from a large Portuguese factory that also produces for amica or ignis. They stick Siemens on it, and yet it is not one because a genuine one is not possible at that price.

Tonight, for the first time, our Ikea dishwasher Skinande is running. Operation is quite self-explanatory. But definitely louder than the Bosch in our old house. Whatever Skinande is, Bosch is better. If you have an open kitchen, not Skinande. Our kitchen is not open. Between it and the living room there is a 17.5 cm wall. So it does not bother us. Karsten
