TIL General Electric Appliances, Hoover, Fisher & Paykel, Aqua, Hotpoint, Leader, and Candy are all owned by the same company.
Sad, isn’t it? For fun, look up Whirlpool, Albertsons, and Kroger on Wikipedia to see all the brands they own. No wonder prices are high when so much competition has been eliminated.
For the Europeans, look up AEG, Bauknecht, Electrolux, Liebherr...sad story as well. And one hell of a case for rampant capitalism running amok...
BuT ThE FrEe mArKeT!!
There's a difference between rampant capitalism running amok and the free market...free always needs rules, or it would be anarchy...
Muh freedom
Please yell me bosch and Siemens are seperate companies...
Nope, they are not, at least in terms of household appliances. BUT they still produce quality stuff in Germany and Europe. And they actually never have been separate. And HomeConnect is commited to HAOS, iirc they actually provide some code to the plugin.
Quick nofe: Albertsons and Kroger want to be one company. Soon.
Noted, thanks
