Title: Beko and Prices
Post by: tillyfloss on October 19, 2007, 08:13:41 AM: Sorry everyone for this boring post ;)

How do the prices of Beko products compare to the UK?
I will be kitting out the house next week and want to be sure I'll be getting good prices.

You can also get Ariston, Bosch, Indesit , Siemens, Samsung and various other well known makes but you have to be sure that the supplier has service backup locally.

WE ONLY SELL THEM, good backup or what. Alan

I have just had occasion to take my Seiko watch back as it had developed a fault after 22 months. The English version of the guarantee quotes "12 months etc" so I expect to pay to have it repaired. "No Sir....in Turkey the guarantee is 24 months" So it was returned to Seiko.....repaired, cleaned, new battery, new seals, and pressure tested....NO Charge! It is not rocket science to work out where you get the best deal and it was a little cheaper to buy here as well. :)
