The base machines were built by hotpoint and then sold on to creda, which then put the front panel on and sold them. This is why so many machines look like the hotpoint wm62 / wm64. |

Hotpoint did not make these machines to sell onto Creda or Electra.
GEC/Hotpoint OWNED the name Creda and thus just added different fascias and features to Creda machines although I suspect Creda would of been run as in andividual business within a business kind of thing. Electra on the other hand was a "Brand" owned and sold by various retail company's over the years and had many manufacturers badging machines up to be sold in their own shops. Whether the machines we actually sold on to the chain at a price and then marked up by the chain for their own profit and pricing strategies OR whether the manufacturer subsidised the chain and gave the chain money per unit sold I have no idea. |

Well i've never come across this Electra version of machine too so i don't think that they was many of these Washers manufactured but i kind of like the simplicity of the styling for such a basic looking machine & it is exciting & fun to watch & it washes really well & quick so i guess it has exactly the same programming as loads of other GDA Washers especially the Creda W100FW/W120VW & the Hotpoint WM series Washers. & yes my collection is really growing now that i have the choice of four classic machines, so i can swap & change my current Washer when i get bored every six months or so. |
