Bauknecht Household Appliances

Bauknecht is a German brand specializing in household appliances, founded in 1919 by Gottlob Bauknecht. The company became part of the Philips Group in 1982 and was acquired by Whirlpool Corporation in 1989. Today, Bauknecht operates as a subsidiary of Whirlpool, with its products manufactured in multiple countries. The brand is known for its quality and innovative designs, receiving numerous awards such as the Red Dot Design Award and iF Design Award. However, some customers have reported issues with product durability and customer service. Notably, in 2021, Whirlpool and Bauknecht donated 600 kitchen and laundry appliances to communities affected by flooding in Germany. (whirlpoolcorp.com)
