La Germania

[driedoutmarker 0]

Hi guys,

been wanting to buy a large standalone cooker, could anyone share their experience with La Germania?

called a few shops that was listed as agents but was advised that the brand has been shut down and only their parent brand, bertazzoni, remains.

i like the design of the product but it seems risky especially for the high price, if it breaks down easy or lack of repair if the last shop selling it (straaten) is no longer around.

Xie xie!

Hi,

just wanna share some of my experience with Straaten. I went down to chk out the free-standing cooker in Jun, the lady there intro me a model with a double oven and I really liked it. However, something fishy was that when I enquired about other models, nothing was in stock and she doesnt know when stocks will come in. ok, fast forward to 2wks ago when I decided to get that model she recommended, we corresponded through email to bargain abt price, and when we finally firmed up on the price, her attitude changed. I asked what if there's scratches or defects since its the last pc. She replied that there won't be any scratches cos the protective firm is still there, and it'll boxed up for delivery once I cfm. she then asked when I need it to be delivered. I told her that I do not have a fixed date yet cos my reno only gonna start in end Jul so we are looking at delivery probably ard end August. And she actually requested for me to make full payment if we need them to hold on to it "indefinitely". If I pay 50%, they cn only hold til end Jul for me. By then, I was really pissed off. cos if I say end August, it shdn't be considered to be "indefinite", and how cn I even pay up in full (it costs a freaking $3200!!) when I have yet to receive the stocks in good condition?? how can she guarantee that with protective firm there means no scratches? what if something happens along the way during delivery? they would have nothing to exchange with me and yet they wan me to make full payment?? then the best thing was next morning, she replied that her colleague sold off the unit!!

Anw, I was keen to get La Germania cos my mum had a cooker from them and it lasted her 30yrs and it was still going pretty strong before my dad decided to change to something newer for my mum. But well, with such service from the agent, I'm not sure whether I want to get anything from them. It really makes me worried abt the after sales service, even though she said that there'll be 1yr warranty. After they sold off that unit, we decided to look elsewhere for my oven, so we found out from a neighbourhood electronic shop (my htb's family knew them for more than 10yrs) that the brand is pulling out of Straaten already! so that explains everything! why they are out of stock for everything, why they wanted me to pay in full amt and refused to let me pay deposit and hold til August. In the end, I bought a Turbo hob and hood, and a Brandt oven for $2660. And my Brandt oven is higher specs than the La Germania one

Just saw this post after buying my new gas hob at Audiohouse.

Apparently Straaten is no longer the distributor for La Germania. The new distributor is Capital Marketing.

The freestanding display looked spectacular but my kitchen got no space.

The hobs look powerful, brass colored and they claim it is 5kW.

New website is:

Is Straaten a subsidary of La Germania? Went to their warehouse and saw the 120cm double oven standing oven. Looks exactly like the La Germania one i found on the UK website. Safe to buy? Advice needed.
