Conclusions
Summing up:
- All Bomann PMM owners complain about repair problems – it is difficult to find spare parts.
- There are many discrepancies between the declared features and customer reviews. Therefore, when purchasing Bomann equipment, immediately check with the consultants for the availability of the functions you are interested in.
- Those whose dishwasher has not yet broken down usually use the thesis “for such a price – acceptable“, and who broke -“Chinese junk!” (quote).
- For the opportunity to buy inexpensive equipment, the consumer has to sacrifice not only functionality, but also quality. You have to pay for the savings – breakdowns and repairs. However, 20-000 rubles is not such a small amount of money.
The main advantage of PMM BOMANN is its low cost. This is a Chinese-assembled budget technique, with which anything can happen – it can work safely for several years, or it can break down in two weeks.
