Creda UK
Was a stand alone company from the 1930`s making cookers and fires at their Blythe Bridge factory in Staffs, then introduded the "First and Best" spin dryer in the UK, The Creda Debonair in the 1950`s, then following the famous Reversomat tumble dryers in the 1960`s and then front loading washing machines in the 1970`s, it was one of the best Laundry Companies we had until they merged with Hotpoint in the 1990`s...
Here is the first generation of washing machines and styles, (courtesy of "The Library of Paul") the square door was introduced before Hoover started using it!!

Style Change
The next style change was in the early 1980`s and introduction of the "Round door Series", very smart clear fascias with simple programming...[this post was last edited: 5/5/2012-04:45]

10700 Series from Creda
These washers where really great inside, large motors (AEG), 3 cast weights placed strategically around the drum, the drum baffles pressed and formed from one piece of steel, strong suspension legs etc....I wonder who that headline is aimed at - Naughty Creda...Lol

Creda Electra 11500 Washing Machine (1981)
The Creda Electra 11500 was produced in 1981 for the electricity Boards, this was an original Creda machine built at the Blythe Bridge factory in Staffordshire - the original home of Creda Cookers, fires and the Debonair Spin Dryer. Specification: 10lb Washload Hot & Cold fill 2.75kw...
The Creda dryers (especially the compact models) were very popular overhere. The washing machines however never made it to the Netherlands, except for one demonstration model at the electricity company. They had a series 3 washing machine on display with a matching dryer. I never, ever saw a Creda washing machine in a store here though. I wondered why the electricity company got one. I have to add that I never saw a series 3 dryer in a store here either.

Creda Concorde
Wow, that Creda 17003 is a really nice machine!
Optima, I love the WM22, especially in Spring Almond! Does that machine have an Unbalanced Load Protection System? I've always wondered what was the 1st machine Hotpoint added a ULPS (Unbalanced Load Protection System) on?
The same goes for Creda and Electra. I wonder if anyone on this site has one of those square door Creda/Electras? Would be great if someone did!
Mike, love your 11500, and your A3008, 1842 and many more! Nice to see that some classic washers are in good hands!

WM22 Aquarius
Brandon,
My WM22 washer must have been one of the first machines out of the factory because basically it works just like a 95 series washer but with a few differences, it has the old style timer & module without the balance control yet some WM22's had the microprocessor controlled timers.

What a fantastic insight to the Creda History, thanks for sharing the info and pics with us! And to find out that Creda were a reliable brand for it's day is pleasing to hear, (well before they merged with Hotpoint)

Louis, yes those Creda Dryers where the mainstay of the company for laundry until the 70`s washers came along, they are so simple and very efficient and looks like sold in many places worldwide....was it badged a creda or your own electricity board model?

Neil, I often think it was a company overlooked, and if you asked me in my lifetime I would rate the laundry companies in the UK as:
Servis
Creda
Hotpoint
Hoover

Those Series 3 (Concords) were badged Creda, I don't think the electricity company had their own brand.
BTW, that twin set is gorgeous!!!

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...

I salute you guys...
More fab pic's Mike!!! Loving it and nice to see the start of Creda, ie Creda introducing the Twin Set Ad. They're all great, I/we appreciate the time and effort you guys put into these threads Mike, and of course it was Paul's Creda thread that instigated me to do an update, because there is so much more to learn about this company.
