Bosch offer a 2 year warranty as long as you register it with them-otherwise it's one year.
So in effect the same as JL offer.

JL own brand models now give 3 years. I have just got one. If you buy Bosch, they keep sending you invitations to extend your service guarantee. I have had several already for my oven and hob in just 2 months.

Yeah, how else do they make money, if you only replace their appliances every decade or two?! Especially when they're only about half the price of the equivalent Miele...

We bought Siemens in our last house, 5 year warranties which we ironically never had to use.

6 years on it was still working when we moved out and left it.

Just beware with Miele. I have one of their dishwasher's, paid over £500 and 1 month out of their 2 year warranty an electrical component went and the call out charge alone was £111. Another 6 months later and the PCU has gone another £111 call and £150 part. I couldn't get any other engineer to touch Miele so they have you over a barrel. Never again!!

If you are considering paying c£500 incl. 5 year warranty then you may want to consider buying one that has a higher base price I.e. higher spec but that comes with the warranty included. The below link shows you which Siemens get the current warranty offer. You can find your local retail partner from the Siemens site. At mine the SN26M253 is £539 as per other link below.

As someone said earlier: there's no such thing as a free lunch. If the 5-yr warranty is "included" you can bet they're factoring this into the price. Still thanks for the links - interesting.

It's a limited time promotion. They normally come with a 2 year warranty as standard at the same price.

No, various models come with 5 years at different times during the year rather than the standard two years. Its not a catch or like "DFS intereest free credit" !

Have had to call Siemens support recently and service was excellent and response time within 2 working days calling on a 5 year warranty (not our dishwasher)
