EDIT: I found the OEM, it's a Whirlpool machine. A promotional picture from alibaba is here. It's a Whirlpool H03, but no real info online about the model or past reviews. Mystery solved.
In need of a new washing machine, and wanted to weigh up the usual $1200 Bosch recommendation against these cheapies.
The manual is often a give away to the original OEM.

The panel isn't shown, but it's in a similar place and style to the Stirling one. here's a comparison of the actual panel
I'm convinced they're the same product, you make up your own mind.
Notable differences:
* Different outside face of the door (but identical insides)
* Different control panel (although pretty close)
Reviews on Kogan are as you'd expect:
* Noisy
* Faulty machine
* Kogan customer service is awful
* One person mentions no hot water wash. Not important to me so I haven't verified
YMMV, but looks like a cheap budget front loader. If you can be one of the 2 people to get the aldi stock, at least you can return it. If you want to gamble with Kogan, they're doing click frenzy and you may be able to get a decent price on it (haven't bother to look up if they're 20% off stacks with the current sale price of $529 + shipping, or $469 for the 8kg).
Probably all come out of the same factory in China.
