Are those actually still made in Germany? Siemens got sold looong ago, or at least their consumer facing parts, as far as i know.
Except maybe the Bosch oven is made in germany. But tbh I wouldn't buy a Bosch oven, in my corner of the world outside Germany they're known for good tools not kitchen appliances. My Bosch electric screwdriver is great :)
- FirmwareBurner 2y agoYes they're still labeled Made in Germany. Although what exactly is made in Germany is unknown to me. They might even just do the bare minimum for that compliance , and put together sloppily made Chinese made parts in a cardboard box in some warehouse in Germany and call that Made in Germany in order to get subsides from the German state for maintaining jobs in Germany.
- nottorp 2y ago> and put together sloppily made Chinese made parts ... and you can't even blame the Chinese. I've worked a bit for companies having custom hardware manufactured in China. The factory will build exactly what you pay them for. From sloppy stuff thrown into a box and shipped untested to clean work with reliable parts and a burn in test done before it leaves the factory. It's just that every additional step costs extra and the dignified western industrialists are trying to save money there...
- FirmwareBurner 2y agoI never blamed the Chinese suppliers, since to me as the end consumer it's irelevant who their suppliers are and what they do, I only blamed the German companies that sold me the product since I gave them the money not to their Chinese suppliers so it's their responsibility to provide me with a quality product.
