Siemens: the premium built-in appliances area

Siemens is built-in appliances with carefully considered design and advanced technology. At Nimestore, the brand is sold only as built-in: 24 appliances to equip a kitchen. Here's what sets it apart, its close ties with Bosch and our best models.

Siemens: the premium built-in appliances area

Siemens in a few words

Siemens appliances are designed and manufactured by BSH Hausgeräte, the Munich-based group that also makes Bosch. BSH was born in 1967 as a joint venture between Robert Bosch and Siemens AG ; Siemens AG sold its stake in 2015, and BSH has since used the Siemens brand under licence. The Belgian website also states this in its legal notices.

Siemens' philosophy in 2026 is summed up in its slogan: "Intelligence that delights". The brand emphasises technology (touchscreens, artificial intelligence, dish recognition on its high-end ovens), design (matt black, clean lines, the studioLinerange) and built-in appliances. It presents itself as the number one in built-in appliances in Europe and in 2026 celebrates the 100 years of Siemens ovens.

Bosch or Siemens: the real difference

Examples of twins found in official Belgian catalogues: the Siemens dishwasher SN65ZX16CE (iQ500) and the Bosch SMV6ZCX10E (Series 6), same zeolite, same class B, same 40 dB; the Siemens built-in fridge KI81RNSE0 (iQ100) and the Bosch KIR81NSE0 (Series 2), 310 litres each. With us, the Siemens KI81RVFE0 and the Bosch KIR81VFE0 have the same spec sheet (177 cm, 310 l, class E, 35 dB, pantograph hinges) and the same recommended retail price: €1,149.99.

Our advice: choose Siemens for a kitchen with a bold design, if you love technology, or if a Siemens model has a feature you like (flexInduction Plus, iQ700 oven). Choose Bosch if the twin is cheaper on the day you buy, or for laundry. In both cases, the build quality is the same.

The connected app

Connected Siemens appliances use the ecosystem Home Connect (recent product sheets refer to the Siemens app Siemens Home Appliances). It lets you preheat the oven remotely, receive a notification when a wash ends, and let the hob control the hood (cookConnect) or start the dishwasher during off-peak hours. You need a SingleKey ID account and Wi-Fi.

Warranty and after-sales service in Belgium

Statutory guarantee of 2 years (the retailer) and a 2-year Siemens manufacturer's guarantee. After registering on My Siemens: dishwasher tub guaranteed for 10 years against corrosion. Siemens also offers 5 years free when buying at least four built-in appliances, subject to its conditions. Siemens Belgium's after-sales service can be reached at 02 475 70 02 and applies the same prices as Bosch. Details in maintenance and Siemens after-sales service.

The price shown on the product page is the reference, and Nimesclub members often get a lower price. To find out whether your purchase qualifies for a Siemens guarantee offer, or for any question about delivery and installation, ask our online expert salesperson or the store team.

C
Clément's tip

Before buying a Siemens, always ask us for the price of the Bosch twin, where one exists. For equal features, go for the best current offer, or simply the design you like most. You lose nothing in quality.

Frequently asked questions

Siemens and Bosch, are they the same thing?

Both brands come from the same group, BSH, the same factories, with the same parts and the same after-sales service in Belgium. Many models are twins. Siemens stands out for its design (black, clean lines), its vocabulary (iQ, hyperFresh, flexInduction) and a few technologies it puts forward first.

Why does Nimestore only sell built-in Siemens appliances?

Built-in appliances are the heart of the brand: Siemens presents itself as Europe's number one for built-in appliances. Our range includes 24 built-in appliances: hobs, ovens, hoods, dishwashers and cooling. For laundry, we point you towards Bosch, its twin.

What do iQ100, iQ300, iQ500 and iQ700 mean?

They are Siemens' range levels. iQ100: entry level. iQ300: the core range. iQ500: comfort and connectivity. iQ700: the top of the range. The Bosch equivalent is Series 2, 4, 6 and 8.

Is Siemens more expensive than Bosch?

Recommended prices are often identical between twins. Siemens positions itself a little higher in image and design. Always compare the Bosch twin model at the same level of features.

Which app for a connected Siemens?

Siemens appliances are controlled with the Home Connect ecosystem (recent product sheets refer to the Siemens Home Appliances app). With us, the HB774G2B1 oven, the ED and EX851HEC1F hobs, the LC97BDN30 hood and several dishwashers are connected.

Where can I see Siemens appliances?

At the Temploux store. Come and touch the hob controls and open the ovens: that's where Siemens design is best judged.
