Conclusions
Summing up:
- Many users succinctly described their decision to buy a Daewoo PMM, recalling the folk wisdom – “the miser pays twice.”
- When buying household appliances, most consumers are interested in which country it was assembled in. The manufacturer has factories in Russia, Korea, China. If you are interested in the country of assembly, then when buying a Daewoo PMM, check this information with consultants and check it against the documents.
Daewoo dishwashers are represented by a modest model range – only a few full-size and one narrow machine. This affordable technique still causes a double impression – with good functionality, the devices are not immune from breakdowns.
