Siemens iQ700 Washing Machine

This image shows an electronic price tag from the retailer MediaMarkt, identifying a household appliance via its EAN code 4242003952368. This specific code belongs to the Siemens iQ700 washing machine series. Siemens household appliances are a long-standing German brand with a history deeply rooted in European engineering.

Historically, the brand was a joint venture between Siemens AG and Robert Bosch GmbH (BSH). However, in 2015, Bosch acquired the remaining stake, making BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH a wholly-owned subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH. While the Siemens brand remains a major player in the appliance market, the ultimate owner is now the Bosch Group. Manufacturing for these premium units often takes place in Nauen, Germany, though BSH operates global facilities.
