Both of them are internationally famous.
The reason why it is not famous is that it basically does not advertise.
It can be said that it is a noble household appliance, not a price. Because there is no advertisement, the price is similar to that of our domestic mainstream Xinfei or Haier products with similar specifications. This is a quality problem.
Speaking of refrigerators, Siemens refrigerators don't use freon, and I forgot the refrigerant. I only remember that refrigerants are very expensive, and I watched Siemens' internal experiments with my friends. The content of the experiment is the zero-degree fresh-keeping refrigerator pioneered by Siemens (which is what we call a three-door refrigerator). The content is: put the healthy live fish bought in the market into a zero-degree fresh-keeping box (that is, the middle door) and cool it to zero, and the fish will live. There is no difference between advertising and advertising. Put down the lower freezing layer and freeze. Open it after freezing, and the fish will live ~ ~! Siemens' power consumption target is very accurate. My friend's refrigerator belongs to Siemens. I went to see it when I was married and tried to consume electricity. Very standard. Later, considering living with the elderly after marriage, I always used the old Panasonic refrigerator (I didn't change it because it was not bad). The low power consumption of Xinfei refrigerator is sheer nonsense, because that slogan is an eye-catching product compiled by a boss I know, and he also made a lot of money for it, but he said he would use the so-called Panasonic refrigerator.
But I changed the washing machine.
My washing machine was bought in the early years (2005), and the model is WM 175. There is always a misunderstanding that automatic washing machines save electricity, water and washing powder than old washing machines. This is a misunderstanding. If you have time, look at the back signs of old washing machines and automatic washing machines. The power of automatic washing machine is lower than that of ordinary washing machine 1/2 or less! You can use a bucket to connect the drain pipe of the automatic washing machine with the water consumption. It can be seen that the water consumption is less than that of ordinary washing machines 1/3 or less. Someone asked if it could be cleaned? I always answer this question with another question: How many days have you been wearing that dress? My home (rural) clothes take up to three days, and down jackets take a week in winter. It is easy to get it with this washing machine ~! In all Siemens washing machines, Siemens uses Siemens Bosch motor and adaptive bearing adjustment system. I don't have to say anything about this motor. Let me tell you something about this bearing adjustment system. For example, if your washing machine is tilted, even the Luoyang bearing may not be able to bear it under the condition of Bosch motor 10000 rpm, so it has a gravity balance system to ensure the horizontal rotation and service life of the bearing. You can prove this in Siemens counters in major shopping malls. Turn on the washing machine and put a one-dollar coin on it. It won't fall all the way ~ ~! As far as noise and balance are concerned, no washing machine can do this ...
The counterweight of Siemens washing machine is a material that can't remember its name. It is iron and can be attracted by magnets. Well-known brands in China use cement ... I helped my after-sales friend drive to do an after-sales service and looked inside. This kind of personality guarantee.
The paint used in Siemens washing machine or refrigerator is the infrared baking process used in automobiles (except for refrigerator door panels, because some models are stainless steel wire-drawn door panels). The guarantee is that it will not rust for 20 years. My family's has been used for 5 or 6 years, and it has been put in the bathroom (you know that there is no distinction between dry and wet areas in rural toilets) and it does not rust (except when it is wiped during the New Year or in a good mood).
One thing is very important. Siemens may appear on CCTV in May 1 Sunday,1Sunday and Spring Festival. Basically, it can be seen in online videos or Siemens counters. This ensures that the price is similar to that of ordinary washing machines in China.
The strongest thing about Ximen household appliances is ice washing! Not only at home, if you watch foreign movies, you will see many shots inadvertently passing by Siemens letters.
Having said that, I wish you a favorite Siemens. Here's my buddy's private words.
Around 2004, Siemens set up a China branch in Hangzhou to produce small household appliances, such as hair dryers. You can have a look if you are interested. I didn't pay much attention to this.
Siemens has a wide range of business, including hearing AIDS, mobile phones (the only failed project), communications (in which China Mobile has a stake), Nokia's technology and communication technology cooperation (do you know why Nokia has good quality and good signal? Energy sources (from the automatic energy-saving system of household appliances to the modeling of houses that capture wind) motors (from Bosch motors of our hand-held electric drill guns to the generator sets of the Three Gorges), medical equipment, automatic control systems of factories and so on.
Siemens failed in two projects: 1 mobile phone (forget this) and Shanghai maglev train (some people have doubts about this, now let's talk about the reasons. This has something to do with German thinking. The German thinking is to build things without spending money, build them first, and then talk about the price. Siemens seems to have lost money in that project, but it built a world-class maglev train ...)
Want to buy home appliances, talk about my experience, don't listen to the nonsense of the counter, and go to see the after-sales. People often ignore the universality of contradictions and always buy after-sales products. Therefore, this home appliance brand with a special after-sales company in China is famous in China. It has a building here, half for sale and half after sale. The salesperson sells it like this: "Look, beside us, our after-sales products are on call, so you have no worries!" This is the universality of contradiction, and good after-sales is poor quality!
In the year when I bought a washing machine at home, only one Siemens after-sales staff in Zhengzhou and Luoyang was in charge in Henan Province!
The after-sales staff are firefighters. This one in your house is broken, and that one can't be used. I'm anxious to get angry. Call him. You have to pour a glass of water, right? Are you embarrassed to get angry when people are busy? It said a few more nice things. You don't remember, do you? Finally, before leaving, I don't forget to ask you for the door-to-door fee, maintenance fee and the cost of replacing parts. You are so grateful, people have to pour water to give money!
Reminder: Some parts of Siemens washing machine installation are optional. This is the faucet at the water inlet. 50 bucks. But when installing, they will remind you, "This faucet is from Siemens, so you don't need it. If you happen to have it, you can use it directly. If not, you can buy one yourself outside. The 25-piece faucet is blunt copper, thinner than mine, but it can also ensure normal water use, and the quality is absolutely acceptable. There are also plastic ones, ranging from 5 to 10. See where you want to put it? " My family took other people's advice and bought a plastic one for 7 yuan (considering that my bathroom is humid and I don't want to see copper rust, the pipes in the bathroom are also plastic). So far, everything is fine.
