New Servis website

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Have worked on the slimline cabinets, mainly the plastic tank version. Servis uk had some great ideas, and some drawbacks. I have worked on the 300 & 600 versions too, I seem to remember a lot of similar components with Hoover parts on that generation. My former bosses used to work for Servis as engineers for Essex and east London. They lived & breathed those machines lol
 
Oh and how could I forget the hitachi quartz / sapphire hybrid, I preferred this to the normal Servis machines
 
will be interesting to see what the new models recieve

myself and a few others on facebook have written to servis today and found out a bit about the new range, they really sound promising, apparently they will have twin jets, anti allergy rinsing, and a quick 60c cycle which can be done in 1 hour.
what do you lot think of this, will be interesting to find out.

Ouch on those prices! £350 plus for a servis? Have they not checked their brand history in the last 10 years lol
 
Every where seem's to have silly prices for new washers at the moment but as Chestermike was saying in another thread, goods cannot be in a sale until they have remained at one price for 28 days. Stores can then slap a sale sticker on and drop the price, giving the illusion of a good deal.
 
Reminds me...

...of INDESIT machines... The style of the door - I swear I've seen before... What a pity that there isn't yet any further information on their new range of white goods...

They remind me of a cross between the Russell Hobbs machines (featured in a post a few months ago with the so called 12 minute wash) and Beko machines. The options buttons do look very Beko to me. Good to see Argos providing plenty of info, including noise levels, however 48l of water for an 8kg load seems very low. My machine uses 47l for 6kg ( more if I select 3 rinses ). Have been back and looked at these machines online a few times and I must say there is something about these machines I just don't like. Maybe I was expecting great things after reading the Servis website.
 
Vestel machines have hit our shores in many guises...
Baumatic
Next
Servis (before becoming part of Vestel)
Swan
Russell Hobbs
White Knight
Tesco Value
Isis
Celcus
Whirlpool
Bush
Haus
And of course the Electra name, and more besides these. Too many to remember lol.
I just hope they realise they can give Beko a run for the money in the dryer sector.
 
Servis

Personally i think they look really cheap & nasty, actually bloody awful looking. I did not think that the Servis name could get any worse than when Antonio Merloni took over the once great original Servis name, but they look even worse than the Easiwash & Gem series washers. It wont be long till them high prices come crashing down to about £169.99
 
Maybe so, however they remain to be more serviceable than the last machines of AM. I think Vestel will do better with the Servis brand, for a start parts will be available. One of the largest c*ck up's by AM was the lack of parts.

If a part was in production and had not yet been fitted, then great you can have it, if not you were out of luck. They had no parts distribution to speak of, and what with the reliability not being great in the first year, didn't help any of the AM brands or customers.
 
Indifferent....

I don't dislike them, but nor do i think 'wow i want one' either. They're pretty inoffensive looking. Seem pretty expensive for what is (to those outside of the trade) an unproven brand.

If they definately have replaceable/accesible bearings then i'd give one a whirl - the prices are ok if you can replace parts at a reasonable cost when/if they fail, as it prolongs the length of service of your initial investment.

However, if they have sealed tubs & expensive spares then i'll go knowhere near - if i want something i'll throw away after a couple of years i'd get Beko or Indesit for under £200 & pocket the other £200 to put towards a Holiday!
