Laundrair washer & dryer...
Arhhh..I am now confused, I thought Parnall first launched this machine in 1960 as per the front cover of the September Which magazine (month maybe wrong) I though Creda approached Parnall to see if they could use their machine under a rebadge and some minor tweaks, to break into the major appliance market..?
Parnall & Creda would have had the same machine in the market at the same time, Parnall's Mk1 "Spinwasher" ran from 1960-64 and as far as i can see from a Creda brochure they had the Laundrair pair available in they catalogue of 1963-64.
Bizzare !!

I am assuming that Creda stayed out of the washer market, from when the Laundrair was discontinued, through to 1976.
That year saw them re-enter the wet market with the 10100 De Luxe...

Though very reminiscent of the 1980 Smoother Hoover series of machines, it should really be that the Hoover machines were reminiscent of the Creda models, with the creda flush door cabinet being introduced 4 years before the arrival of the A3110.
Here the 10100 with a Hoover A3006 for comparison...

Model 10300 Debonair - a missing link model.
Creda also produced model 10300 which was called the 'Debonair' and was sold as an exclusive model only, through independent outlets.
I have never seen a picture of this model - anyone?

The Eighties...
The models above, as well as a whole host of exclusive models, saw Creda through to the start of a new decade.
1980 saw a MAJOR change for the style and design of Creda laundry machines.

Hi Keith.
Missed your comment in amongst all my postings.
Your confusion is the same as mine.
Perhaps it was akin to Hotpoint and Zanussi with the Hotpoint Liberator 1826.
Probably some agreement to give Parnall a cut of Creda machines sold - something must have been in it for Parnall somewhere along the line.
Is there any juicy info in your Creda Laundrair brochure?

Paul, they were sold over here for a while. There is even a parts place in Texas I call to order motor brushes.

Suds Saver
The blurb that goes with the Creda Laundrair Top Load machine implies that this is like the US suds saver machines where the water can be 'saved for a second load' - is that correct?

Ti
Interesting read, Paul. Thank you for posting.
I had wondered what 'Ti' had meant, as several of my families appliances carried the badge.
My Aunties cooker was a Ti Jackson Hallmark. As far as i'm aware she owned it from 1983 (possibly second hand) until the mid 90s when it was replaced by a Tricity Bendix Tiara. I still remember the Jackson Hallmark ticking as the hob 'rings' turned on & off!
My Gran had a Creda Compact 3, which she owned from the late 70s/early 80s until 2001. Heavily used initially, it didn't get much use in its later years until a year long stint in our household following the demise of our Hotpoint 17221 Super Dryer. We used it moderately but unfortunately the timer failed so on one occasion it was put on in the morning & still running when Mum returned home 6 hours later. The items being dried were removed with BBQ tongs due to the heat! After that we only used it when we could keep an eye on it & following the purchase of matching Electrolux Premier washer & dryer in 2001, it was returned to my Gran who i believe disposed of it shortly after.
Interestingly the gas oven we bought when we moved into a new house in 1986 was a Ti New World, with Sola Grill & 'Gyroflo' oven. Dunno if this is the same Ti as mentioned above? I'd presume so. It was a pretty bad oven that went through a couple of thermostats in its 15 years with us & always seemed tempramental with regulating. It liked breaking around Christmas time too - on one occasion the unusually long turkey cooking time caused the oven dial to stick on, so we had to disconnect it from the gas to turn it off! It made way for a Diplomat Select (aka Stoves) electric oven, which was much better.
Finally my Auntie owned an Electra automatic washer, which is like the orange button one that i believe Mike owns. I believe this was also a Creda as it has the same drum & powder draw interior as photographed in Pauls initial brochure pages. It was a superb washer, lasting at least 12 years washing for 3 including when my cousin was first born & producing lots of laundry. Most remarkably, and unlike Mums similar aged Hotpoint 95450, it never needed a single call-out for repair. It made way for a Servis made Electra AW900A Eco in the mid 90s, which was also a good machine that was still working with no call-outs when my Auntie moved house in 2007.

Hi Liam.
Glad you liked the read.
Your family was certainly overridden with TI products. It really is such a shame that such a once proud brand has, like with most of the others, been consumed by other owning companies and, in the case of Creda, pretty much irradicated.
Tragic to think of what once was.
Paul
p.s I missed out a dryer model from all the bumpff I posted last night.
For about a year from 1976, the TD400A Sensamatic was upgraded into the TD400RS Sensamatic.
Receiving a restyled facia, it also received reverse tumble as well!!!
Was this the UK's first reversing tumble dryer?

TI
Was Russell Hobbs ever connected to TI? I seem to remember that the base of our old K Series kettle had a "TI" mark stamped on it.
Also mum's Creda "Carefree" cooker from 1975 had that mark proudly on display on the splashback.
Gran had a Creda "Cavalier" cooker from about 1973.
