Maytag Demoted
Submitted by advisor on Thu, 03/01/2007 - 2:28am.
Maytag has been removed from ApplianceAdvisor.com's appliance "Big 5" list. (a.k.a. "Big 4")
Any suggestions who might deserve the honor, and dear we say, the responsibility, of replacing Maytag?
UPDATE April 1: So far unanimous for Bosch with 5 votes. What are BSH's North American sales.....anyone?
UPDATE April 4: Another vote for Bosch, but the second complaint about Bosch's failure to perform in Eastern Canada since January 1, when they took over from the Amiel family distribution monopoly and started to distribute direct to dealers. Something is going south up north. The complaints include: no Spiff program, no inventory (everything is backordered), no dealer agreements. They just weren't ready to take over it seems.
UPDATE April 8: BSH reports that for 2005, N. American sales were 6.6% of total world sales of 7.3 billion Euro, which roughly equals US$630 million. Seems we need a 1$ billion before we can promote them.
