Most-asked questions about the Wellis vs Brast comparison.
The main objective differences: warranty (Wellis 10-year shell vs. Brast 2-year standard); insulation option (Wellis offers Scandinavian full-foam factory upgrade; Brast typically Polyfoam); brand origin (Wellis: Hungarian EU manufacturer since 2003; Brast: German brand); price point (Wellis from €7,200 vs. Brast from ~€3,500). Both offer acrylic shell and CE conformity.
Brand origin alone does not determine product quality. Wellis has manufactured in Hungary since 2003 (EU member state since 2004) under the same EU standards (CE, RoHS, WEEE) as German manufacturers. Brast offers a shorter service path within Germany; Wellis offers a larger EU-wide dealer network. On warranty and lifespan, Wellis has an advantage in the direct spec-sheet comparison — see the table above.
For a 5-person model with Scandinavian full-foam: Brast 5-seater ~€4,000 purchase + electricity (€1,200–€1,700/year without full-foam) + chemistry ~€150/year = €17,500–€22,500 over 10 years. Wellis Callisto P&P €7,200 + Scandinavian upgrade ~€1,500 = €8,700 purchase + electricity with Scandinavian €900–€1,300/year + chemistry ~€150/year = €19,200–€23,200 over 10 years. Wellis is marginally higher on purchase, with 5× longer shell warranty.
