Conclusions
To summarize:
- Many users have succinctly described their decision to buy PMU “Daewoo”, recalling the popular wisdom - “avaricious pays twice”.
- When buying household appliances, most consumers are interested in which country it is assembled in. The manufacturer has factories in Russia, Korea, China. If you are interested in the country of assembly, then when purchasing PMU “Daewoo”, check this information with the consultants and check it according to the documents.
Daewoo dishwashers are represented by a modest model range - only a few full-sized and one narrow machine. This affordable technique so far causes a double impression - with good functionality, the devices are not safe from breakdowns.
