from benpost contains these words:

just a quickie i don't know a lot about brand names for kitchen
appliances, can anyone give me a rough guide?

i don't mind paying a bit more for a well known make that will last
longer & work better.

such as a car i'd rather own a vw or audi than a ford or vauxhall...

I'd certainly second the "You won't go wrong with a Miele appliance"
recomendation.

Not so confident about Bosch.

AEG are usually trouble-free but expensive.

Some Panasonic things are great but their recent vacuum cleaners are
very suspect.

Siemens ar a mixed bag.
