Creda was an UK import to North America (think made by GE), and both the washer and dryer ran on 220v power. Units had a horrible track/repair record in the States, so much so that many dealers couldn't give them away. Still, one sees units popping up now and then either old dealer stock or from sales. L. |

UK Hotpoints in all but name.... Not bad machines- certinally better than the cr@p Merloni Hotpoint make now... Obviously the washer should have a lid!. Seamus P.S assuming both are UK spec they will obviously be 220/240v- this means the washer will have a built in heater and will run on cold water only if required ;) |

I'd be certain to ask the seller why the top has been removed from the washer. This could be a sign of a abandoned repair job! |

Chad!!!! BAG EM!!!! Pointless Info No.1 Samantha Fox aka Page 3 Model/Celebrity Lesbian???? (heard the rumours) had this machine. Dont ask how I know I just do. Pointless Info 2. Cheryl Baker from Bucks Fizz also had this machine. Useful Info 1. Check out the video I made of my Old Hotpoint which is exaclty the same as this machine just a different colour and spin speed. Useful Info 2...... NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER Use any P&G product in this machine. Its unlawful!!!! You need some Non Biological UK Persil for your whites and lights. UK Persil ColourCare for ya coloureds and that will be just dandy. ;-) Comfort Softener if budget allows L(OL!!!!!! ....Blue Flavour. Saintly clean laundry with the best machine ya can get. You wont be dissapointed with the sounds they make. these sounds MADE the best washdays in the UK from 1978 - 2000. Oh and it also will have the best washing machine drum design too a pure classic! oh yeah baby just get em!!!!! LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL ! Linkie for my video CLICK HERE TO GO TO aquarius1984's LINK |

Not to be the lone wet blanket, I'd find out if parts are still around for both units, AND what happened to the top of the washing machine. Seller stresses several times units are sold "as is" only and that they haven't been recently tested. Would be a shame to lug home units that do not work and or cannot be repaired easily for lack of parts. Would also email seller to find out exactly what the electrical power requirements are for both washer and dryer. If both are 220V, can the dryer be plugged into the washing machine, or do you need two separate 220v lines? L. |

That is the best washing machine that was built by hotpoint themselves either before they were owned or were owned at the time by merloni, they spin quite fast for 1000 it's worth a try mate |

I'm with Launderess, those machines sold in the USA had horrible track records. It's been quite a few years since those machines were sold on the American market, so getting parts for them might indeed be a problem. I don't think the lid of the washer needed to be removed in order to stack the dryer on it. Buyer beware I would say.
