Bompani – what brand?

Bompani is a brand owned by one of the leading Italian companies – Fox SpA di R. The history of the trademark dates back to 1954, it has purely Italian roots and is associated with the production of a wide variety of household appliances.

Bompany’s products are not yet in great demand on the domestic market. There are very few washing machines of this brand on sale, and there are no reviews for this model at all. One can only guess about the shortcomings of this device. The first thing that catches your eye is the high cost. Also, not everyone may like drying by time – many prefer to dry clothes by residual moisture.

Conclusions

Summing up:

• СМА Bompani is modestly represented on the Russian market, they are not well known, and at the same time they belong to the middle price segment. To many, the cost of these washers may seem overpriced.
• There are practically no reviews on the network about the operation of the Bompany washers. On the one hand, this is bad – there is no real evidence of the operation of the machines, on the other hand, this indicates the absence of customized reviews, which means that the company is confident in its products and does not need dubious confirmation of its viability.
• The manufacturer gives a two-year warranty on its products. On the company’s website you can find instructions and manuals for use – this is the limit of service support. In the materials provided by the manufacturer, you can find out about the design of the device, its possible breakdowns, as well as the connection procedure.

To buy a Bompani washing machine, you need to have not only fifty thousand rubles, but also confidence in your own luck and the hope of fulfilling warranty obligations. Once upon a time, Bompany washers were a success, perhaps it makes sense to give them a second chance.
