English Electric was an outstanding company, making brilliant military planes and locomotives, but it was taken over by GEC. The accountants took charge and ruined it

In 1989 I bought a new Miele washing machine. 26 years later, after three children's nappies, and one grand child's, plus our general 5 person family's washing, I gave it to my middle daughter. One day out of curiosity I took the back off to see how it was made. Quite different to any other machine I had worked on, there were no concrete weights, no water filled weight tanks. Never since 1989 has it needed a new drive belt or anything. I have a saying: If you know it was expensive but you can't remember how much it was, and it is still going, then whatever it cost it was worth it. Having said all that if my current Bosch goes wrong I'll get one of these Ebacs, just because they are made in England and are repairable.

I am a retired appliance engineer (2 years ago) and I completely agree with the comments made in the video. I bought the best made washing machine I could afford (Miele). It's our second one: Is not as well made as the first one: I've repaired it already, and I don't expect it to last more than ten years. A seven year warranty on all Ebac washing machines is an awesome deal. Also, I suggest that you don't set too much store by Which? reports. As a professional 'in the trade' I often disagreed with their conclusions, and I suspect that their testing methodology may be skewed for some reason - But I can't imagine why that would be!

I like the fact that Ebac are one of the few manufacturers that have a hot water inlet, which others have binned in favour of cold only - I generate free hot water from solar panels so it's a big energy saver on my 20yr old Indesit which I was able to change the bearings on!

I seriously considered getting an Ebac when the bearings on my old (unrepairable) Bosch went. The main reason I didn't get one is because the shop I had a lot of store credit with, didn't stock Ebac. I ended up getting the only other make I could find that I believed had removeable bearings: Miele, although since then I was dismayed to discover that not all Mieles have replaceable bearings either. I try to buy British when reasonably practical. My hifi speakers and amplifier are actually built in the UK (Scotland to be precise.)

How nice of Ebac to use screws to separate the front of the outer tub, so you can remove the inner tub to replace spider, bearings, etc. My machine has metal clips there, and I must say it’s always an adventure to take them off and put them back on.

Good review. We used to have a Hoover washing machine, made in Merthyr Tydfil before the executives ruined the company financially with their silly promotion scheme, and ending UK production. It was very good, but when it finally needed replacing, the new (foreign) Hoover machine was awful. As regards EBAC, I have not come across their washing machines before, but a dehumidifier that I kept in my workshop ran 24/7 for many years without any trouble at all- excellent reliability.

Not heard of these before! Our Indesit washer/dryer is on it's way out. The temperature sensor has "gone" and it rattles and is going rusty. Just a couple of things I'd like on a machine are 1) four adjustable feet rather than just the two at the front and a bit more adjustment to be had, 2) easy to remove soap tray so that you can clean it properly without breaking plastic tabs etc, then it won't stop rattling! 3) a softener compartment that actually drains properly and doesn't sit full of water until you open the drawer again. I know these work on a syphon and even though we clean ours it is just temperamental and I agree with you about the drain plug behind the bottom panel. If you remove it once the tabs are no longer secure enough to stop it rattling when refitted.

Totally agree. Thanks for making this video!

I have a Zanuzi washer dryer from 2011, still going strong. I has had one drum replacement 6 year ago, which was my own fault (coin). My only gripe is a well know programming bug where it won't open the door after cycle end even if drying. Simply putting it on drain for 2 minutes works. That bug has little to do with the longevity since it has always done that. I should add I used to bad with overloading the machine, not I understand better. Still not been a problem. My parent had Hoover washer an dryers (separate) for aroundt 25 years.

I’d definitely consider the Ebac for my next washing machine. Currently I’m using an LG washing machine. Spin cycle vibration on wooden joisted chipboard floor is terrible and I’m scared of using the 1400rpm setting. Can I suggest a spin cycle test being done on a wooden joisted floor instead of the steel frame? Wooden Joists will bounce, so any vibration will be amplified. It’ll be a good review. I’m planning to add some reinforcements to my joists under the washing machine just to see if some extra rigidity will solve the excessive spin cycle vibration.

Great video! Thank you! I owned a Miele washer, 1st service call was after 28 years of trouble free service, parts were still available. Is this machine getting close to the high standards set by Miele? I seriously hope so! In our rental properties, we had Samsung machines, if you achieved 5 years, you were LUCKY! Absolute RUBBISH! Same for Samsung Air Conditioners, we replaced 16 of these in under 6 years, hard to believe that a company can make such substandard garbage.

Part like pumps and seals, motors, and bearings should be modular and standardised. Manufacturers should be forced to make parts compatible and interchangeable. If you need a new pump you simply need to buy a standard washing machine pump what can fit as a module into any machine. Same for Cars and other such items. MTBF should be monitored from all manufactures and included as part of the environmental info for the consumer. Planned obsolescence should be penalised such that it is an unprofitable endeavour.

You are dreaming pal. You are forgetting one thing, greed. I don’t want a car or washing machine to last for ever. Like most people I like to have a change. If you standardise parts companies won’t make profits and will close down. What you’re looking at is communism, think of things like the Trabant car. No my friend, people are greedy, if the washing machine pump fails and they’ve had the machine for 5 years or so, they buy a new machine. If machines last for say 20 years, they and the parts for them will get very expensive. Unfortunately we are a throw away society. This machine looks good and it’s worth consideration, but I bet it’s not all made in the UK. Electronic parts etc and various other items would come from all over the world. “Made in Britain” really means assembled here. Yes you may be able to source panels and certain plastic mouldings etc. But a tremendous amount of British manufacturing has been lost. This country was the most powerful in the world at one time, we invented industry and manufacturing with the industrial revolution. We exported a huge amount of products and goods all over the world. Nowadays nobody wants to get their hands dirty and make things, they just want to be instant celebrities on TV, and to be able to just buy things and throw them away when the mood suits. I’m an engineer and run a newly set up manufacturing facility based in England. We supply parts for engineers all over the world and we are pulling back parts that have previously been made in China and other countries and making them ourselves in-house in the UK. But this country will never again make as much product as we used to. People don’t want a big factory next door to them, they want a retail park… Your intentions are good my friend but it’s never going to happen. Let’s hope these machines are as good as they sound, but white goods are a huge and extremely competitive market. It’s all based on sales. There needs to be an advertising campaign like the “I’m backing Britain” one in the late 1960’s. To give people the incentive to buy British goods. By the way I’m typing this on an American designed tablet, which is made in Asia, powered by energy from a French electricity company, sitting in a Norwegian made chair, and I’m dressed in clothes that were probably made in Bangladesh…. Shame all these things weren’t made in Britain eh?

I would be glad already, if all washing machines were build like this one. He's even kind. The lower priced ones build in China have bearings that are molten into a plastic housing. After 3 years of family use that's naturally worn. The manufacturer's service center will quote a repair price at the same level as a new machine. That is what the entire system is based on, waste! The upper price-class Miele machines are built like this as well. Bearing in a steel housing, proper counterweight for the drum, the cage from metal, and a proper dampener not only some rubber thingies. Lift such a machine from China against a well build one.

@@montyzumazoom1337 You know the average Trabi ran for 30 years and 30 since the wall fell you can stull get parts. The IEC and NEMA set the standards for electric motor frame sizes everyone who uses a motor has to build there machines around this and its good. It makes service easy for people industry. Every seal, every bearing, every pump flange, every, bolt, belt, beam and rubber tyre. The list goes on and on.... But then we get to consumer products where everything is a basket case of disposable non serviceable non standard parts. If things I can fix and get parts for is communism, bring on the revolution comrade...

@@montyzumazoom1337 Well it just goes to show that all the talk of helping the environment is false. Planned obsolescence is disgusting. We don't exactly have to go as far as the trabant, but white goods should be reasonably robust and repairable. Mobile phones should have replaceable batteries and not have forced updates that are designed to kill off the older models. Cars should be reasonably easy to service and maintain. I think the electric cars and hybrids will become like smart phones on wheels. It will cost more to replace batteries or the motor than the vehicle is worth. All of these minerals and chemicals used in the batteries are mined in Africa and Asia and will probably end up not being disposed of correctly. Instead we should make things last aslong as we can. I'm running a 15 year old BMW, I have a 4 year old smartphone, I have a 10+ year old bosch washing machine, a 10+ year old microwave, a 2008 plasma TV, a beko dishwasher that I've just repaired. All of this was bought used on ebay for a fraction of the cost of new and much better for the environment.

I have a Maytag Neptune dryer that is about 15 years old here in USA. This is our high end brand , best model at the time and have the natural gas Unit not the electric. The motor bearing went out I thought it was the starting capacitor because my son found it would run if you taped the door switch shut, spun the drum with clothes, and then pushed the start button! Later it would only run if you did the door trick , letting it start at no load snd throw the clothes in while it was turning! Yes half the clothes tried to come out again while going this snd it would not take a full load. When I got home After bring away a month, I found the motor bearings , bushings really, Were seized. The stator frame and bell end caps are welded together making it impossible to change the bearings Like a normal single phase Ac capacitor start motor. The replacement motor is 1/3 the price of a new machine.. If I needed a repair man it would be 50 percent with labor.

Had ours for over two years and working well. Purchased to replace an aging LG hot/cold fill as our heating system feeds an unvented hot water cylinder. Only slight complaint is needing a well trained dog to hear the end of wash signal. ;o)

I must admit I really get annoyed with the end finishing cycle notifications that some machines give you a well trained dog sounds like a good idea

Australia bused to make washing machines, Hoover, Simpson. They moved to the Far East years ago. I replaced the door seal and Bearing on a Samsung that is ten year old recently but I presume the new models are less serviceable. Pause mode door open is a nice feature. Hot and cold fill is something that manufacturers removed years ago purely to save on parts. I hope it not British made but with parts made the other side of the planet as they negated the positive.

I just bought a Bosch washing , at Curry's if Curry's sold these washing machines I would of bought one of these instead of the Bosch, seems like better value then the rest of the machines. My next washing machine will be an Ebac, Thank you for the information I only wished Curry's store had this machine before I bought my Bosch.

It will be interesting to find out on the new type of Bosch machines whether they are building them with sealed drums still

will look at this make when my BEKO dies in a few years. We got a White Knight tumble dryer which was UK made its really good unfortunately I don't think they are in business.

Several of my friend have decided to Buy British, where possible and have also purchased the excellent eBac washing machine. One told me eBack will be bringing out small appliances at some time in the near future.

They already manufacture great dehumidifiers I'm glad you enjoyed the video please remember to subscribe to the channel

Brilliant video, but do you know how to get into the engineers service menu on these ebacs? I have one and really would like to know how to test the different spin speeds manually. Thank you.

I love my Ebac washing machine especially with the seven years parts and labour warranty for the same price as a main branded machine ( but Ebac’s is better). Don’t understand why Ebac don’t advertise themselves a bit more. I Only only knew about their washing machine as I have 2 of their brilliant dehumidifiers and thus an account with them and so got an email. Ebac - do some advertising!

Just to let you know, Ebac currently have supply issues. A friend ordered one, and three times now their delivery has been delayed, with no clear date in sight. We're gutted, as we really wanted this one!

We are in the process of buying a new washer dryer.Going to have a look at one of these machines.

Thanks very much for the video. I totally agree with everything you said, and it's so good to see a British manufactured machine available. Reminds me of our first washing machine, an English Electric! I'll definitely keep this make at the top of the list when our (around 14 year old Zanussi finally gives up the ghost!

Don't worry about induction motors. My experience they are more reliable and nowhere as noisy. I have had a Zunussi FL811 for over 40 years ( still in regular use)and all I have replaced is the run-motor capacitor and a set of drum bearings .

The only thing that normally fails with an induction motor is usually the circuit board wasn't built to correct standards allowing for voltage variations and sometimes components blow within the circuit board because of this

Thank god by british ,use to work on creda

This will be my next one. I hope they do built-in.

They are in the process of bringing our new colours if you look on their website. 🇬🇧 👍

Must be 11 or 12 years ago we bought an ISE10 machine, designed in Britain apparently but made in Sweden, 10 year warranty well priced parts, about £50 change from £1000 if i recall correctly, similar pricing to 10 year warranted Miele machines. 2 years later the company goes into liquidation, hence the 10 year warranty void and anyone's guess what parts will still be available. However its never missed a beat, is built like a brick outhouse weighs roughly twice as much as the Bosch it replaced and does everything you ask of it. I hope Ebac do well.

Will induction motors work okay with an inverter? Obviously I'm also worried the load may damage the inverter..
