Don't remember buying any of their product.

Better take the retrenchment benefits and look for another job than relocate. Have many friends and relatives who relocate to another countries did not survive there for long. Once over there, you get a new contract and if within 1 year the company retrench you, you get nothing.

wanted to buy Dyson vacuum cleaner for my sibling's house warming gift. went to Court's to find out more info. but a salesman tried to intro Electrolux to me. i'm ok with this brand as i used its cooking hood, hob and oven before.

anyway, i will stick to Dyson as my sis-in-law prefers this brand. and i believe in getting a gift that someone will like.

now my next question is, which model to get....V12, V15 or Gen5? Thinking

Not surprising, my rich uncle electrolux items still durable even till now never got any minor flaw.

Their products is good as I mention just that of course is expensive. Yea competitor offer cheaper ones but end of the day come things You have to judge propertly

Some company , seller mark up their price wanna " rebrand " as if is good but is cheap stuffs they just want to profit a lot.

One Ang Mo business man in SG even joke Singaporean " funny " , if you sell a good item cheap , they will feel is lousy one but if you sell expensive they will see wow must be good.

Regional HQ stayed 45 years in Singapore solely for bookkeeping and paying Singapore low corporate taxes.

Electrolux here only for tax avoidance purposes.
