Blomberg Home Appliances
This page provides an independent overview of the Blomberg home appliance brand for UK consumers. All information was accurate at the time of writing. Sources are listed at the foot of this page.
What is Blomberg and who owns it?
Blomberg is a German home appliance brand with origins stretching back to 1883, owned in the UK and across Europe by Arçelik A.Ş., the Turkish multinational that also owns Beko. Since April 2024, Blomberg has formed part of Beko Europe, the joint venture between Arçelik (75%) and Whirlpool Corporation (25%), alongside Beko, Hotpoint, Indesit, and Bauknecht.
In the UK, Blomberg occupies a distinct and carefully defined position within the Arçelik brand family. It is positioned above Beko on specification, build quality, and price, and is sold exclusively through the Euronics network of independent electrical and kitchen retailers. This exclusive retail partnership is a defining feature of Blomberg’s UK market strategy and one of the things that most clearly differentiates it from Beko’s mass-market distribution approach.
The origins of Blomberg: Germany, 1883
The Blomberg story begins in Germany in 1883, when Bernhard Blomberg established a metalworking business rooted in the precision manufacturing traditions of German industry. The company spent its first decades building a reputation for high-quality metal products, and this foundation in precision and materials quality shaped the engineering culture that would eventually define its home appliance range.
In 1935, Blomberg made the transition from metallurgy into home appliance manufacturing, applying its metalworking expertise to the production of domestic appliances at a time when the European home appliance market was still in its formative years. The move established the company’s identity as an appliance manufacturer while retaining the quality-first manufacturing ethos of its metalworking origins.
In 1979, Blomberg introduced its first washing machine with outer balance control, a technically significant innovation that improved the stability and performance of the machine during the spin cycle. By 1981, Blomberg had developed the first fully automatic washing machine in its range, continuing a trajectory of engineering-led product development that would remain central to the brand’s identity across subsequent ownership changes.
Blomberg’s history: from German metalworks to Arçelik brand
1883: Bernhard Blomberg establishes the company in Germany
The business that will eventually become a home appliance brand begins as a metalworking company in Germany, building a reputation for precision manufacturing that will underpin the brand’s engineering quality decades later.
1935: Transition to home appliance manufacturing
Blomberg makes the strategic shift from metallurgy to home appliance production, applying its precision manufacturing heritage to the growing European domestic appliance market.
1979: First washing machine with outer balance control
Blomberg introduces its first washing machine with outer balance control, a technical innovation that improves spin cycle stability. The product establishes Blomberg’s engineering credentials in the laundry category.
1981: First fully automatic washing machine
Blomberg develops its first fully automatic washing machine, continuing its investment in laundry technology and marking the brand’s maturity as a technically capable appliance manufacturer.
2002: Arçelik acquires Blomberg
Arçelik A.Ş., the Turkish multinational and parent company of Beko, acquires Blomberg as part of a series of European brand acquisitions that also includes Elektra Bregenz of Austria and the British brands Leisure and Flavel. The acquisition brings Blomberg into the Arçelik portfolio where it will be developed as the group’s quality-positioned European brand above Beko.
2004: International relaunch with expanded product range
Blomberg relaunches internationally with an expanded range of products, marking the beginning of a new chapter under Arçelik’s ownership as the brand builds its presence in key European markets.
2009: Second generation Blomberg appliances launched
A refreshed second generation of Blomberg appliances is introduced, offering more advanced solutions and positioning the brand more clearly in the mid-premium segment of the European market ahead of its UK launch.
2010: Blomberg enters the UK market
Blomberg makes its debut in the United Kingdom, bringing its stylish and reliable appliances to British homes through the Euronics independent retailer network. The entry is positioned around quality, innovation, and modern aesthetics, establishing the brand’s identity in the UK from the outset as a premium-leaning alternative to mass-market brands.
April 2024: Blomberg becomes part of Beko Europe
Arçelik and Whirlpool Corporation complete the formation of Beko Europe, and Blomberg becomes part of the wider Beko Europe portfolio alongside Beko, Hotpoint, Indesit, and Bauknecht. Arçelik holds 75% and Whirlpool retains 25% of the joint venture.
Blomberg and Euronics: an exclusive UK partnership
One of the most distinctive aspects of Blomberg’s UK market presence is its exclusive partnership with Euronics, the buying group of independent electrical retailers that operates across the UK and Europe. Blomberg is sold in the UK exclusively through the Euronics network, making it the only major appliance brand in the UK with a deliberately restricted retail distribution strategy of this kind.
Euronics is a network of independently owned electrical and kitchen retailers operating under a shared brand identity and buying structure. Its member stores typically offer a more personalised service experience than the large national electrical chains, with knowledgeable staff, proper demonstration facilities, and a customer relationship that extends beyond the point of sale to include installation and aftercare support.
For Blomberg, the Euronics partnership is not just a distribution arrangement but a strategic alignment between the brand’s values and those of its retail channel. A consumer choosing a Blomberg appliance through an independent Euronics retailer is making a considered purchase decision in an environment where the product’s quality and longevity can be properly explained and demonstrated, rather than a price-driven impulse purchase in a busy electrical chain. This context suits a brand positioned on quality and durability rather than on volume and price.
Blomberg is the exclusive appliance brand partner of Euronics in the UK. To find your nearest Blomberg stockist, use the store finder on the Blomberg UK website at blomberg.co.uk.

What appliances does Blomberg make for the UK market?
Built-in appliances
Built-in appliances are a major focus of Blomberg’s UK range and are the category that carries the 5-year guarantee as standard. The built-in range covers ovens, hobs, extractor hoods, integrated dishwashers, and integrated refrigeration, offering a coherent set of appliances for fitted kitchen installations specified through Euronics independent retailers. AeroChef™ technology on built-in ovens ensures even heat distribution and precise airflow for consistent cooking results.
Laundry appliances
Blomberg’s laundry range covers freestanding and integrated washing machines, washer-dryers, and tumble dryers. SpinSave technology is a key differentiator: using innovative drum movements that dissolve detergent faster and with less heat, SpinSave delivers up to 35% energy savings in everyday wash programmes compared with the previous generation of Blomberg washing machines. RecycledTub® washing machines use tub drums manufactured from recycled plastic bottles, aligning the laundry range with Blomberg’s sustainability commitments.
Dishwashers
Blomberg dishwashers are available in freestanding and integrated configurations. CornerWash technology features a specially designed spray arm that rotates in a unique pattern to direct water and detergent into every corner of the dishwasher basket, improving cleaning coverage on the most difficult-to-reach items. Selected models carry the 5-year built-in guarantee when fitted as part of a kitchen installation.
Refrigeration
Blomberg’s refrigeration range covers freestanding and integrated fridge freezers, larder fridges, and undercounter appliances. VitaminCare+ technology is available on selected fridge models, using coloured LED lights that mimic the sun’s 24-hour light cycle inside the salad crisper drawer, helping to preserve nutrients and extend the freshness of stored fruit and vegetables. The concept is closely related to Beko’s HarvestFresh technology, reflecting the shared engineering base of the two brands.
Cooking appliances
Blomberg’s cooking range includes freestanding cookers, built-in ovens, and hobs. AeroChef™ technology in built-in ovens delivers even heat distribution and controlled airflow throughout the oven cavity to ensure consistent cooking results across all shelf levels, reducing the need to rotate dishes and enabling more reliable baking and roasting across the full oven cavity.
Blomberg’s key technologies
SpinSave uses innovative drum movements to dissolve detergent faster and with less heat than conventional wash cycles. Blomberg claims up to 35% energy savings in everyday wash programmes compared with the previous generation of Blomberg machines of the same size, without compromising washing performance. The technology reflects Blomberg’s positioning on efficiency as a feature that delivers tangible value to consumers rather than simply appearing on an energy label.
CornerWash features a dishwasher spray arm designed to rotate in a distinctive pattern that directs water and detergent specifically into the corners and edges of the basket, areas that are typically the hardest to clean in a conventional spray pattern. The technology is particularly relevant for large items such as roasting tins and casserole dishes where food residue accumulates in corners and is difficult to dislodge with a standard radial spray.
VitaminCare+ uses coloured LED lights inside the salad crisper drawer to mimic the natural 24-hour light cycle that produce experiences when growing in the field. Blomberg claims the technology slows the degradation of vitamins and nutrients in stored fruit and vegetables, preserving their nutritional value and extending their freshness. The technology shares its underlying concept with Beko’s HarvestFresh system, reflecting the shared platform of the two Arçelik brands.
AeroChef™ is Blomberg’s built-in oven technology for even heat distribution and controlled airflow throughout the oven cavity. Consistent temperature distribution eliminates hot and cold spots, enabling different dishes to be cooked simultaneously without uneven results and reducing the need to rotate trays or adjust timings during cooking. The technology is part of Blomberg’s positioning of built-in cooking as a precision and consistency-focused category.
Blomberg’s guarantee: what it covers
Blomberg’s guarantee terms are notably more generous than the standard one to two-year manufacturer’s guarantee offered by most appliance brands, and this is a meaningful differentiator in the UK market.
All Blomberg appliances in the UK come with a standard 3-year repair guarantee from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing and material faults. This is three times the minimum standard in the UK market and reflects Blomberg’s confidence in the build quality and durability of its products across the full range.
All Blomberg built-in appliances carry a 5-year guarantee as a standard permanent feature of the range, covering manufacturing and material faults for five years from the date of purchase. Selected freestanding appliances also carry the 5-year guarantee. For consumers fitting a new kitchen, the 5-year built-in guarantee provides meaningful assurance across the full set of integrated appliances for the most demanding period of a kitchen installation’s life.
Guarantee terms and eligible models are subject to change. Always confirm the specific guarantee terms for your chosen model directly with the Euronics retailer or with Blomberg at the time of purchase.
Blomberg’s sustainability commitments
Blomberg’s sustainability positioning is built around three pillars: energy efficiency in product performance, sustainable manufacturing processes, and recycled materials in product construction.
In energy efficiency, Blomberg cites refrigerators that use less energy than a 50-watt light bulb and dishwashers that clean effectively with significantly less electricity and water than conventional alternatives. SpinSave’s 35% energy saving claim in washing machines is the most specific technology-level commitment. Products carry recyclability rates of between 84% and 99% across categories, and RecycledTub® washing machines incorporate recycled plastic bottles in their drum tubs.
Manufacturing facilities hold international certifications for sustainable use of resources, materials, and energy, and Blomberg states a commitment to minimising pollution and promoting responsible use of natural resources across its production operations. For consumers making appliance buying decisions with sustainability in mind, the combination of energy-efficient technology, high recyclability, and recycled materials use offers a coherent and verified set of credentials. For more on how energy ratings reflect real-world running costs, see our guide to understanding appliance energy ratings.
