You may have quoted Biro in your reply but you also wrote this so Xonic’s reaction was perfectly understandable.

How many 1 star reviews were there and how many 5 star reviews ?

Whatever you buy, there are always one or two that are "Monday morning" or "Friday afternoon" machines and they get bad reviews, but if the product was inherently bad then the company would simply go out of business.

Moving companies are the same, they are all as good as their last review. Somebody had a bad day or tripped over the cat and broke something, up comes a bad review, but it doesn't mean they are bad overall.

If you're going for a more high-end product range, go for one that you like the look of and is easy to use. Don't bother about any particular brand - despite what people say.

4 five star.
8 one star

That’s not true at all in the short to medium term.
A brand can go bad overtime (by bad management, cost cutting in production methods and materials) but still cling onto a loyal customer (fan) base for many years.

None of the big brands are inherently bad.

AEG / Electrolux is at 1.7 with more than 100 reviews.

All a matter of perspective.

True.

An AEG oven is a quarter the price of a V-Zug one.

AEG is a budget brand.

The number of reviews can be disregarded - obviously many more people have AEG appliances than V-ZUG ones in Australia.

Unlike V-Zug (which are made in Switzerland) in Australia, AEG products are made locally in Adelaide so if you buy one here it's not going to be comparable.

In the U.K, AEG is considered a reliable brand with a customer satisfaction score of 77%. (Which? report).

You're not a bad troll Tom, but also not a good one.

Assuming both brands in Australia (as you mentioned an Australian review site.)

AEG Australia is a premium brand as indicated by themselves "...Discover AEG's premium home appliances..."

So the small number of highly picky customers of V-Zug are much more satisfied with the quality overall than the large number of AEG customers.

28
I'm also not biased toward V-Zug because it is Swiss-made, and therefore Schweizer-Qualität, and I am not Swiss.

Most premium brands are excellent. I don't believe V-Zug is better than any other.

There are good reasons to get them but there are a lot of reasons not to too.

A company making such remarks does not make it so.

Premium in Australia is not the same as Premium in Switzerland.

Do you consider AEG a premium product?

If so, what does that make Electrolux (which is sold as the more premium product from the same company that make AEG)?

29
Do you leave that plastic white plug thing in place? There are two. Has a crescent moon too to it.

A large manufacturer has usually ample supply of spare parts available from many distributors with competitive prices.

We "inherited" many old appliances in our place and I try to repair them when they fail, and the rule is: the more "Swiss" an appliance is, the worse - V-Zug will only have their own spare parts department and Fust which sold them with absurdly high spare parts prices compared to very similar parts for other brands. Eventually it turned out that the very expensive part (washing machine rubber gasket) was manufactured in Eastern Europe and similar in all but price to Electrolux/Siemens/you name it but triple or quadruple the price. In the times when spare parts can be bought abroad at various distributors, on eBay and Amazon, it doesn't make sense to overpay for Swiss marketing.
