Hisense has established itself as a competitive brand in the UK for white goods and TV’s, and own many familer brand names – Fridgemaster, Gorenje, Hitachi air con, Toshiba etc.
Haier another established Chinese whitegoods brand, owning the likes of Candy, Hoover etc.
Turkish industrial conglomerate Koç Holding’s, owns Beko, Hotpoint, Indesit, Grundig and Turkish Vestal whitegoods (Vestal crap TV’s).
Definately worth finding out who’s behind the familiar brand, of which I think Mark has posted the link for!
Beko are often found slightly cheaper than Hisense, which often come with more advanced features and technology. However, Ive had Beko whitegoods with no problems and currently have an Hisense flagship oven, Haier fridgefreezer and Bosch seri 8 wahing machine and heatpump dryer all with no problems and often ask myself was it worth paying £1400 fo Bosch, when I could have had two of the cheaper brands for same price – I’ll let you decide that!
