It doesn't say it on the washboys only on the trowels. but they come from the same place in Germany.

Ok this might get removed but here goes..


The build quality is really good and the bucket is solid as any KD one.. the rollers are plastic and thought they might be steel but they do perform good..

I do like the hidden little wheels in the base of the bucket and not the obtruding ones i had on the KD bucket..

The sponge i got was good as well and rung out very well on the rollers.. might only criticism is the sediment grid.. my KD came with an aluminium one that sat in the base of the bucket , this one has a clip on grid that can come loose and not very sturdy , so feedback has been given to Sigma and hpoefully this will be addressed .

So all in all it is a good washboy and very sturdy in nature of design and IMO will last a few yrs , just needs to grid tweaking and it will be top dollar.

Good honest review Dave. Would you say the KD is better/equal/ worse?
