Whilst my computer is signed in, I thought I would make a thread for the Creda brochure that I bought a while back.

Its a lovely brochure and it was great to finally be able to read up on these highly elusive machines, along with their not very matching matching dryers :-)

Post anything remotely Creda-ish here - would be nice to try and create a thread with as much info on the laundry offerings from this brand, as we hav in the knowledge banks.

Anyways - here we go.

Enjoy!
Paul

The Creda 10500 - this is the machine that lived up the road ffrom me.

It was replaced in 1987/88 by a Hotpoint 9901 Washer Dryer and banished to the owners garage.
There it stayed until the early 90s, when a skip appeared one day.

Wandering back from the village one day, I peered into the skip and there on its back was a visually pristine 10500. Such a shame - it was a lovely machine...

Onto the familiar Compact 3 - model 37275 - a machine that ran for years and years and years, in various guises including exclusive models for the elctricity board and rumbelow...

The Creda Sensamatic - model 37402, sat a top the 10500.

Argghhhhhh - made another boob - the autodry was model 37400 and the Reversamat was model 37401.
Creda had dropped the 'TD' model initials by this time...

Wow! This is much older than my Creda Supaspeed 1000 Eco Wash which, I think, dates from 1990. When John and I found it, it had been discarded because it needed new motor brushes, but it looked like new. I have replaced the brushes twice and don't use it much now. It sat unused for months, years maybe, but then I discovered it was great for my perma press shirts when set for slow spin speed so I have used it once a week for a while. I like its flexibility and performance. It does not have a front-accessible pump protector. Maybe it does not have one at all.

Did this machine have some connection to Hotpoint in the UK?

It is amazing how structurally light it is. When it has a halfway heavy load in it, the front of the machine moves in and out as it tumbles in the wash and rinses. The tumble speed is faster than the Mieles' and when it is heating, it sits still for long periods of time and then moves the drum very slowly for a few seconds to turn over the load. If it is quiet in my basement and I listen closely, I can hear the typical sound of electrical water heating toward the end of each heating pause. It draws far less current than the Mieles which is maybe why it has to pause while it is heating.
