How to choose a Weissgauff dishwasher: TOP 7 models with descriptions of characteristics and customer reviews

Weissgauff what brand?

The official website of the brand provides information about German quality, technology, etc., but there is no information that the brand itself is German.

For example (from the official website):

“The Weissgauff brand entered the market, combining everything for which we value German household appliances.”

Or

“Weissgauff is true German quality, accessible to everyone.”

Not a word about the fact that the equipment itself is German or that the brand is German.

In Russia, according to information from the official website, the brand has existed since 2013. This is quite consistent indeed (at least the company’s website was created in 2012).

In addition, in the German version of the site, only an e-mail address is available in contacts.

And the phone number is not even listed as a service phone, and only an e-mail

Weissgauff contacts in Germany

At the same time, contacts in Russia are indicated in sufficient detail (including legal information).

It was not possible to find information about contacts in Germany on Google maps.

An interesting fact is that the German version of the site (.de) has Russian DNS and is hosted on Russian hosting.

Information about weissgauff.de

An easy way to check where a particular brand is sold is to download the instructions for the appropriate language. There are no problems finding documentation in Russian. It was not possible to find documentation on the official .de website in German.

An interesting fact: on the Internet there is an announcement from 2013 about the need to develop a sticker design for Weissgauff equipment - an announcement for those who do freelance (one-time remote work).

Inconsistencies

The company primarily sells appliances, but also sells sinks and faucets.

A strange fact - on the page about kitchen sinks, if you look at the hierarchy, you can see that the sinks belong to the “compact ovens with microwave” section.

Weissgauff kitchen sinks

Only one mixer was found and is located in the “Mixers” section.

However, when I clicked on “Mixers,” the site redirected me to the main page for choosing equipment, where there was not a word about mixers.

Weissgauff home screen

The price category of the brand is average.

Weissgauff country of origin

The company website states the following:

“Our production is located at the best sites in Europe and Asia, where household appliances are produced for many global brands”

It can be assumed that the company does not have personal manufacturing sites.

The country of manufacture, which is indicated for many product categories, is China.
