• Appliance chat - Is it common knowledge that Bosch, Gaggenau, Neff & Siemens are all the same company? I thought I was going mad for a minute when I had a number of tabs open and kept seeing the same extractors.

  • Depends on the appliance I think. Extractors are just a stainless box with a fan so no one really bothers with R&D. They probably all come from the same factory.

    AEG, Zanussi, Electrolux and… another one I can’t remember are the same company. Ovens, hobs etc are just tweaked or have different logos. There’s a few cross over companies like that. I think John Lewis hobs and ovens are AEG too.

    I don’t think the extractors mean they’re the same company though, it’s just not worth doing your own so you badge an OEM one.

  • They have a website with the 12 brands listed. https://www.bsh-group.com/

    Apparently 4 are global and the others local to somewhere.
