Tom is one 100% correct on the Isis brand. Electra is back courtesy of Vestel too, as will be he Servis brand name. They picked up a few brands from the Antonio merloni dissection, including Newpol. This is the first time Vestel have handled their own brand names.

It's a pity...

...that there are no images...

Won't be long, they are probably based on the Doris (yes this is what Vestel call them) cabinet & fascia. If you see the Russell hobbs (Lares), Next Catalogue models (Marylin & Lares)and Swan models (Solaris), Bush (Olympus) you will see the different varieties they churn out.

Also

The White Knight machine.

I'm sure someone will be able to identify the origin of this.

Saw one in person in a discount shop. Cheaply made, (aren't they all LOL), the soap tray only came out a few inches.

The new line of white knight washers are chinese made, the vestel washers are of fair quality
