Tecnik Domestic Appliances

Tecnik is a a brand name which is owned by Moben kitchens and sold through their own outlets and those of Kitchens Direct. However a recent search on the internet produced several retailers offering Tecnik appliances.

The brand has little history of note bar the move in (roughly) 2001 from, at the time, Anglo Iberian Services to BSH Group providing service and the product line up changed.

We have heard of kitchen salespeople telling that these machines are German made, they're not on any example we've seen. This is probably partially a mistake as the servicing is carried out by BSH Group which of course owns Bosch, Neff and Siemens.

The appliances are sourced from all over the world and from many different manufacturers. For example, the new range of integrated washing machines launched late in 2006 are produced by the Candy Group.

We have also heard of and experienced several delays on spares as well as some difficulty at times in tracking information on these appliances. This is mainly due to the fact that the machines can be made by anyone almost.

Tecnik Retail Position

To be honest most of the examples we've seen have been low end, budget appliances and are often offered free as part of a kitchen. It was quite common for a "free" dishwasher to be thrown into the deal and these were cheap and nasty.

On the whole, not brilliant.

Tecnik Spares 

Spares we can obtain although, at times, tracking them can be difficult as we first we have to track down what it is. There is some good in this though as often we can track the same parts from an alternative supplier or brand at lower prices.

Obviously with the demise of Moden and the Tecnik brand some spares be become constrained.

Tecnik Service

Service is pretty straightforward as, not being a proprietary brand, most of the information on the appliances is available from sources other than BSH Group or Tecnik themselves. Most of the repairers on Find An Engineer can and will happily repair Tecnik branded machines.

Do bear in mond however that now this is effectively a dead brand and support may be limited.
