I've just finished rejigging the laundry room and now have a Hottie WMA64 and a Servis M6854 side by side. Both can be run together should I have a mass of laundry waiting lol.
Now the Servis has been a problem since I aquired it a few moths ago. It had been used by the previous owner in an farm outbuilding and water got in and ruined the motor and control board. I had a new motor and board sent but the machine would not spin unless perfectly balanced if at all and then cut out on a full load of towels. The motor was in fact the wrong part number as i've now finally got it replaced and it spins perfectly. This is an 8.5 KG Servis. Not come across many as the last one I had was 7KG. It seems to use more water on rinses than the 7kg ie higher up the door, but what I love about it is the choice of programs it has and the wash results. The hottie is a recent addition to my laundry room having had new bearings and door seal. I like both machines, the Servis does a better job out of the two especially on spinning with such a huge drum, the hottie has the powerstream wash action so is more fun to watch. My Beko was sold off recently with a niggling electronic fault that kept blowing the door lock every few weeks. It was also silver and no longer fitted in with my white scheme lol Steve

EasiWash....
Hello Steve good selection, will be pleased to hear what you think of the Servis, I had reason to use one in a "Hoover Officionados" house recently (The Words Tell & Your Dead) where mentioned...LOl, we both thought it was gonna be...well..you know....BUT we where both very surprised, the build quality and sturdiness of the cabinet was amazing, quiet in use & the larger drum holds a mega load...if fact it was due to go on ebay but its still "There"...
Will post pics later, love the way the Blue LED's light up the kitchen at night!! | ||

Servis
Mike, well this is my second of that version of the Servis, the last one was the 7Kg and i was impressed by it. This being 8.5Kg is just as good but i can get duvets in no problem. It is in fact one of the best machines i've used and like you say suprisingly well made for a Servis. I also love the design of it and the programs are excellent. So many to choose from and its pretty quiet too and those blue lights are great! I'll probably keep it for a while anyway lol

I think it's a case of too little too late. | ||

Servis isn't really dead...
Just the name 'Servis' is dead... but they're still around with other names... Ardo (link below), Bompani, Asko (I think) sprung to mind.

Hey Steve!
Always nice to have a choice! We had 2 of those hotpoint first the wma64 the first release which died of the horrific glitch with bad bearings after a year that range had and hotpoint replaced it with the 6kg 1600 equivilent for the trouble. I liked it alot but when we moved here and dad told me the whole kitchen would be aeg i begged for an aeg washer which is now on its way out some 8years later and sterling service! I like the servis 2 my best friend had thst same machine recently until it died of bad bearings spinning at 1500 everyday! it didnt do bad washing for 5! Now replaced with a 7kg indesit with the black digital display in silver. I will always wish that the true servis never fel to its demise and would have found and 8kg quartz far more up my street :-p Haxisfan! You were on the button there. Servis has many disguises in europe lol. Though i'm pleased to say servis no longer own asko and they are infact owned by gorenje now which i think will be interesting! Darren | ||

Thanks Darren... I wasn't sure if they still owned Asko... it's clear now ;-)
You mentioned Quartz... I guess that was when Servis was ahead of its time... but since Servis became A. Merloni it was more or less just run of the mill. I visited some friends the other day... and I knew they had a somewhat 4 year old Servis washer, before getting to their house I kept thinking, well, I doubt they still have that washer, considering the horrid reputation this brand had in the last decade or so, but to my surprise the Servis was still there... I don't know whether it's been repaired during the course of its life though... I didn't ask :-P | ||
