Dishwashers and more from Blomberg
[Do NOT buy anything made under this brand name. Ignore every kind thing I've ever said about Blomberg. I apologize if I mislead anyone. Events and things I've learned since this post appeared originally have brought about a complete change of heart for me regarding Blomberg and their US distributor. --Paul 2/21/10]
Over the last couple of weeks, I've been made aware a dishwasher logo I recognise not anything approximately and that emblem is Blomberg. I hate not understanding what something is, so I set out to find out.
Blomberg is new to the US, however they have been a German emblem given that 1883. Blomberg is owned byAr?Elik, the Turkish conglomerate who sell home equipment in over 100 international locations round the arena. What's being bought in North America as Blomberg also answers to the logo names Beko, Leisure, Flavel and Digifusion, relying at the united states in query. Folks within the UK appear to be particularly unswerving to Beko, and Beko appliances were pinnacle-sellers there for a long term. While Blomberg may be new to the US, the employer at the back of Blomberg has earned its stripes.
In the North American market, Blomberg has been introducing its full product line regularly. They began with their dishwashers, then their washing machines and now their fridges. Ultimately, they'll be bringing in their cooking appliances and air flow products.
My quest for facts about Blomberg dishwashers led me to a communication with Bernie von der Lieth, a consultant liable for Blomberg's creation to the US market. Von der Lieth supplied me with a wealth of facts and I now recognise extra approximately Blomberg dishwashers, fridges and washing machines than I ever thought I'd want to recognize. And here's what I discovered.
Blomberg appliances are luxury appliances, comparable to Bosch and Liebherr. Like other luxury brands, Blomberg appliances are feature-packed and highly efficient. The similarities stop there though. A Blomberg dishwasher or refrigerator will cost half what a comparable Bosch or Liebherr appliance would. Go to a website like AJ Madison and do a price and feature comparison yourself.
All Blomberg dishwashers have stainless steel interiors and they all function an in-line water heating machine. Unlike maximum American dishwashers which have heating elements inner of them. These elements waste energy, make the wash cycles take too long and prevent a dishwasher from achieving an choicest temperature. An in-line heating machine has no heating element, alternatively the water is heated immediately as it's piped into the system. This continues a water temperature of one hundred sixty five tiers whilst the usage of a ways less electricity. No heating detail additionally approach that you can vicinity plastic ware within the decrease rack.
Blomberg dishwashers are the quietest in the marketplace because of their unique, 3-layer insulation system. Their dishwashers have an on-board water filtration system and some fashions have a constructed in water softener. The racks inner are complete adjustable and in a tip of the hat to equipment installers anywhere, a Blomberg dishwasher's rear leveling legs are adjustable from the front of the system. If you've got ever wrestled with a dishwasher set up, that is a very welcome function.
Their refrigerators are similarly well-thought-out and equipped. All of their refrigerators' interior surfaces are treated with a process Blomberg calls HygION. HygION uses silver nitrate (a potent, non-pharmaceutical, anti-microbial substance) to render the interior of a refrigerator an incredibly hostile environment for the wee-beasties that can make you sick. The glass shelves inside are all made from tempered, safety glass; all of their models have a suspended bottle holder, clear vegetable drawers and are highly efficient users of electricity.
My in advance reference to these appliances as characteristic-packed does not do them justice.
Blomberg's timing couldn't be better, they're introducing luxury appliances at a non-luxury price point. In a time of lowered expectations and slashed budgets, these things are a God send. I used to say Ich lieb Liebherr and think I was clever. But that was in a time when people wanted a $6,000 refrigerator "just because." Those days are gone obviously, so I'm changing my tune to Ich Lieb Blomberg. Or maybe I aşk Blomberg (that's Turkish), considering that they're made in Turkey.
