Even long lived names need some care too - Bosch Logixx products are (at the

That's a good point... Even once we accept that you can't assume a
particular brand is what it appears we've then got to look at indivual
ranges!

That does make a very interesting read. Didn't realise that Bosch, Siemens
and Neff were co-owned.

For what it's worth... As discussed it probably provides little more
than being something of interest!
