Thanks for the link Ash. I had a Servis washer dryer in 1999. It was about £329 and was quite well made for the money! It was unbelievably quiet and had a huge induction motor. It lasted about 7 years and my sister had it and really used it! Unfortunately the bearings let it down and it became noisy and the dial kept sticking. That said, when it did work well, it was stable and well made. It had a good enamel drum and was pretty heavy to move. I'm surprised they survived then as they can't have been that cheap to manufacture. I know now they have got cheaper but like you I am sad to see them go. I wonder what sort of affect the credit crunch is going to have on washing machine manufacture? Rob | ||

Which! consumer magazine has recently upgraded the reliability rating of Servis machines to 'reliable' based on feedback from subscribers.... A shame they are in the position they are. If the quality of their appliances is improving, they deserve better... On the other hand, the other Merlini - Indesit, Ariston et.al, are dreadful. They may clean ok, but their reliability is woeful...even Choice magazine here in Oz rates Ariston last.. | ||

Antonio Merloni sells it's machines under all kind of labels, but mainly they bought up older local/national brands that stopped making appliances themselves. That's how they penetrated the market with brands that were already known on that particular market. These are their brands that I know of: Ardo, Nordland, Servis, Edy, EBD, EFS, Upo, Tecnogas, Baumatic, Elto, Bompani, BlÜcher, Eurotech, Clatronic, Novomatic, Philco, Selectro | ||
