Montpellier brand?
Hello
I need to replace my broken Zanussi washer dryer, I was hoping to remain with Zanussi because it has served me well for 10/12 years however the delivery dates quoted are in March and my need is more urgent I have selected Bosch WVG30461GB from Which best buys. I have been warned that after the guarantee expires it could be difficult finding a local independent engineer to help, relying solely on the manufacture service network. Is this the case.
During my search I found a supplier, Montpellier, which I had never noticed before and was wondering if anyone has any experience of any of their products / service etc. I am grateful of any help offered to either of my questions

Buying advice on Bosch WVG30461GB versus Montpellier
- The problem
- The poster needed to urgently replace a broken Zanussi washer dryer and asked whether Bosch WVG30461GB would be difficult to have repaired by a local independent engineer after the guarantee, and whether Montpellier products and service were known quantities.
- Likely cause
- No appliance fault was diagnosed. The discussion was about brand support and repairability rather than a specific machine problem.
- What fixed it
- The accepted reply advised that Bosch should be easier to get repaired in the UK because the brand has been established for many decades and no known repair-access issues were reported in the discussion. Montpellier was described as likely being a newer badge brand using third-party manufacturers, with no clear judgement given on product quality or service.
- Checks to try
- Bosch WVG30461GB was the model being considered
- Accepted reply stated Bosch has been in the UK for many decades
- Accepted reply stated no known problems getting Bosch appliances repaired
- Accepted reply stated Montpellier appears to be a very new brand and likely uses third-party-built appliances

I would expect it would be a lot easier to get repairs for Bosch who have been in the UK for many decades. I've not heard of any problems getting Bosch appliances repaired at all. The Montpellier brand is almost certainly not an actual manufacturer like Bosch, but a company that gets appliances built by third parties and have their name on them. They appear to be very new (only a few years old). This doesn't mean the appliances can't be good or even excellent but I don't know enough about them to be able to judge.
