Before anyone decides to buy something from the dutch electronics giant assuming it is dutch, they sold off their domestic appliance division years ago and the products are produced and sold by a Chinese company that licences the Phillips name. I don't think the quality changed, but I feel this is worthwhile mentioning in any buy european community.

Versuni primarily sells small appliances under the Philips brand (under license from Philips). These include: Air fryers, Rice cookers, Blenders, Kettles, Clothes irons, Clothes steamer, Vacuum cleaners, Air purifiers.

Versuni also sells domestic coffee makers, under the Philips, Gaggia, Saeco, Senseo and L'Or brands.

They sell a variety of home appliances in India under the Preethi brand, including mixer-grinders.

Philips-branded electric toothbrushes and rotary shavers, are not made by Versuni, but continue to be manufactured and sold by Philips itself under its Personal Care division. via: https://w.wiki/EFTD
