Bosch or Siemens – what’s the difference between these washing machines?

Usually there is a question upon these washing machines. Generally, in the context of ccomponents, installation and reliability there is no difference. They have the same concern. Differences are in external control and display details, as well as in some additional functions and sensors. Main production is in Berlin, in the Russian Federation – near St. Petersburg. Other productions are all over the world (from Turkey and Ukraine – to India). For historical reasons, in Tel Aviv, the brand Bosch is more known and widespread. But in the historic homeland (in Germany) about 75 % the share in the profit of Siemens models is bigger.
Regarding the washing machine is made ​​in Germany, as there are Spanish, Turkish, Chinese and Russian production .
Original models, due to all standards, are produced on one plant in Berlin.
It was determined (headquarters of the German company) that the brand Siemens will be positioned above the brand Bosch. Hence, there is different design and different functional equipment at the same base.
Except the system “aqua stop” in Siemens, there were no fundamental differences  in functionality of this brands. A year ago, there was a significant advantage in the form of 4 -year warranty from Siemens, vs 2 years at Bosch. At the present time – the warranty on all the products of these groups is 2 years.
It is believed that Siemens is more reliable. But a strange statement, because they are prodused on the same assembly plant.
Many people believe that there is no big difference  between washing machines SIEMENS and BOSCH, because they cooperate. But it is not true. Washing machines SIEMENS have many features that are not implemented on the BOSCH (the same AQUA SENSOR). Therefore, when choosing a washing machine draw your attention to SIEMENS.
