    I am thinking of buying the Kernau KFDW6751 dishwasher - the 5-year warranty is attractive, only - anyone knows this brand ???
    Not advertised anywhere, in any chain stores sellers have not even heard ... do you have any experiences / opinions? what is the failure rate, what is the post-warranty service, in particular? Is it solid equipment really made in Poland or another manto-Chinese with the PL sign? They have a poor website, unreadable, overlapping subtitles etc. but that does not have to be a decisive factor.
    Possibly what other brands do you recommend? Free-standing silver dishwasher 60 cm, steel inside + 3 drawers. One program is enough for me - it has to be washed and dried well. Price max 1400. I do not want Bosch - it does not cope with washing rinsed pots, it dries very badly, and I just found out what this famous pump heater is; (
    I am also considering:
    WHIRLPOOL WFC3C26FX
    Beko DFN 26422X
    Amica DFM 636
    Sharp QW-GT 31F or 21 F
    what else ...
    Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    Honestly, I do not know a brand such as Kernau KFDW6751. I am afraid that it may be another Chinese language with the PL sign. Thinking the website is lousy.

    I am of the opinion how to buy it from a well-known brand that is already on the market. Because it can be different with unknown brands.

    I do not know the brand, but the fact that it is sold mainly in furniture stores does not prove well. It's just like with household appliances sold in the IKEA network. In fact, these are devices based on components from other, more or less well-known brands. Nobody knows what really is in them. The service of this type of equipment is based on many local representatives acting on behalf of the device supplier, as is the case with, for example, power tools sold in DIY stores.
    I myself fell victim to such a purchase at my own request. A few years ago I bought a CONCEPT vacuum cleaner because it met my expectations in terms of noise emission and at the same time was cheaper than, for example, Electrolux. Of course, I checked before buying whether there would be a problem with the bags. There was no. It never occurred to me to check the availability of HEPA filters. And here was the dog buried. It turned out that the components of this vacuum cleaner come from AMICA equipment withdrawn from production years ago.

    See the catalog of this company: :arrow: Link
    What is not there :D
    "Company" products from household chemicals to sinks and batteries to televisions. And here is a quote from the product manager Tomasz Bytnar's statement on their website: "The Kernau brand offer is based on devices manufactured in the best European, including Polish factories." . So you can "by accident" in an interior furnishing company buy the equipment you did not want, that is Bosch. It looks like a typical company that takes equipment from companies of various brands and offers it under its own brand. Ask yourself whether a well-known global company will sell such a recognized product.

    I only wonder if it is actually as presented by the director. Do they have designers in their ranks who design the equipment and it is produced according to their design? Because as soon as they order household appliances under their own logo, it is not a manufacturer but a distributor.

    It can also be like you wrote. But would Bosch go for something like this? I doubt it.

    Why not ? It's just a matter of $$$, how profitable it will go.
    This is the case with IKEA appliances, for example. Under this sign, you can quite often find equipment from the AEG-Electrolux family or the Whirlpool family, but I have already met a native Bosch, and recently the very old Whirlpool that had IKEA written turned out to be Gorenja, i.e. Whirlpool bought from Gorenja and pushed IKEA, ot such a business.

    With such brands, the ordinary "Kowalski" generally buys a pig in a poke.

    If it concerns equipment that has already come out of the company's current offer, and in warehouses there are still some different parts from which you can assemble a washing machine or dishwasher, save on the disposal of such components and additionally earn why not.
    If there are still any doubts about the subject of this company's activity, it is enough to read the excerpt from the National Court Register, especially Section 3, Object of activity.

    Everything was explained. So I thought that the company is not a manufacturer of household appliances, but furniture. And the equipment production is outsourced to other companies - production plants, and only distributes - sells the finished product under its own brand.

    Which is what many companies in the world do.
    Example

    Who is the producer?

    According to my colleague, a service technician, household appliances with a 5-year warranty Kernau can be purchased.
    Once I asked him which washing machine to buy.
    Reply
    Any with a 5-year factory warranty.
    I bought an Ariston and 7 years without failure

    Go to this company's website and read the warranty terms. The most important thing is that the warranty is for 2 years and it can be EXTENDED up to 5 years (but only for repairs, not replacements). It is also worth reading what is excluded from the warranty.

    Only that it is not a manufacturer's and seller's warranty: "The exclusive distributor for Poland, Galicja Tomaszek Sp z oo, hereinafter referred to as" KERNAU brand guarantor ", gives the user a warranty for a period of 2 years (24 months) from the date of purchase of the device"
    There is also no information about the site's location on the distributor's website.

    Kernau is the worst equipment I have ever serviced. Each type of Kernau equipment has a design flaw that leads to failure in the first 5 months of use. Washers from the bolt are not used, which leads to the disassembly of the O_o equipment.
    The prices are out of space, but the equipment is not worth even half of the amount for which we buy it.

    In my opinion, this company will either end its activity quickly and will have to give money to customers for what they have sold, or it will gather a large group of people who hate them for fraud on such a scale.

    If I have reached out to someone else, I invite you to the store where you can get reviews from the seller who will insist on an extended warranty when buying a device from this company (which speaks for itself).

    And for those who have already bought, I wish you a lot of patience and propose to save the number for the warranty service to your favorite contacts.

    regards Krzysztof

    If they have such an approach to the equipment, I do not predict a bright future for the company.

    It won't be over so soon. As far as I know, furniture companies have been pushing Kernau for 10 years, a lot of people take it with furniture.
    A good friend bought a kitchen equipment oven, Kernau induction.
    The induction works surprisingly 7 years, only in the oven the buttons from the clock fell out and the taps from the functions and temperature melted.

    Krzysztof, Kernau does not construct equipment, they rely on components from other suppliers. I sold some Kernau gear and no return or breakdown.

    I have a washing machine of this company precisely because of the opinions of the person repairing washing machines, just to take one that has a 5-year warranty. In addition, my parents also bought a different model because of the warranty. I bought it in 2019 and so far I use it without any problems. Parents bought earlier, use it more intensively and also without any problems so far. Also when it comes to washing machines, I think it can be considered a safe purchase. What you write, however, puts this company in a terrible light, because as I read that all equipment has design flaws, washers for screws are not used, the oven melted the knobs is a cosmos. However, after the equipment I have (parents also have), I conclude that the opinions are negatively exaggerated. Now I need to buy a dishwasher but due to the lack of opinions about Kernau dishwashers (besides I can see that household appliances stores do not sell their equipment) I lean towards Beko and Bosch

    I have been using the Kernau KFWM 754122 washing machine for almost 5 years. Absolutely no problems, so I don't know where the negative opinions about this equipment come from. 5 years ago I did not know the company, it was recommended to me by a friend who runs a home appliances store. As a recommendation, one of his sentences was enough for me: "I sold a lot of it, because the price is attractive and you know what, nothing from this company has ever returned to the service." I bought and for 5 years I have been enjoying the failure-free operation of the device. I came here because I want to buy a hair dryer from the same company. I read it, I wandered around and with such parameters and functions I will choose Kernau again, this time with KFD 7502.

    How was it supposed to return to the service, since warranty repairs of large household appliances are carried out by an authorized service center at the customer's home? :lol: standard text of sellers ...

    Well, it's hard to find something cheaper than Chinese, but if you are satisfied with this level of quality, then go ahead.

    because the website knows and sees much more than an ordinary Kowalski having one device.
