I found it interesting how the add discusses tips on how to keep the machine from getting mould. So it's not just the USA with this problem. :-) |

This looks great. I clicked on the design your own machine and I chose features like hot fill. App control so I could use my mobile with it and some other feature and it worked out that it would cost me 530 pounds. How cool would that be to have a machine built to what you really want in a machine. I hope this takes off I really do as it would be nice to see machines that are British built again.

This is a very welcome development. I'd like mine to have bio-prewash and a rapid advance timer please! Tom |

Nice looking... but it reminds me of an Indesit blended with a Miele: I hope it takes after the latter for reliability :-)
They say that they're building them in partnerships with leading appliance manufacturers... and we know where those get thier stuff from... so now I'm left wondering: are these really made in Britain... or just assembled in Britain? Well... can't blame a boy for speculating a bit... |

I don't think they'll have much trouble with brand recognition, Ebac has always been a well known household name in the UK but they haven't been as prolific advertising like they used to over recent years. I seem to remember alot of promotion in quality magazines and papers like the Sunday times magazine, Readers digest etc over the years. However I do see them on Tv adverts for water coolers and their dehumidifiers.
I'm pleased a British made washing machine will be available once more. They are going to have had to go to a partner already in the washing machine business whoever it is as the cost of developing a washing machine alone from scratch would not make it feasible I'm sure for a smaller company without huge resources. |

I took the Union Jack with the digital display, 1200 rpm spin, non-brush motor type and hot/cold fill options.
That would have run me £ 595. Not too much more than what I paid for my Frigidaire FL. "I wish there was something like this in the USA" So do I but we've a fat chance of that happening here. I wish this company all the best and much success. The UK deserve to have their own brand of washer again. Perhaps the idea will catch on and someone will do the same on this side of the Pond. |

I think it can be done to a certain extent. It would take an automated production line with computerized assembling. It has been done with cars for many years so it should be possible with washing machines too. Not sure though how much the price would go up, certainly a bit. It would be a selling point though.
