    first of all i would like to wish everyone a merry xmas & happy new year
    😛 i have recently sold & commissioned several of these appliances.
    customer feed back is very good.
    these washing machines seem robust just as heavy as a zan!
    control panel switches feel good quality.
    customer feed back is very good.
    low noise
    stylish
    large door
    is there any up date on the reliability & fixability of this product?

    There’s not enough info at present on Amica but I hope to have a couple of machines to play with soon, then I’ll be able to offer an opinion. 😉

    Re: amica appliaces

    hi jim merry xmas
    i was getting worried thanks for the reply
    the problem I’m having is competing for repair and sales with argos
    coop
    the majority of people in my catchment area are dedicated hotpoint users.
    i can give a quote to refurb and even give them a very long warranty
    but they compare this with the cheap things on the market so I’m loosing out on a repair or a sale.
    i quote for a simple brush change or pump door energizer.
    and i get i can buy a new one Penny’s even worse with dryers new vented
    for £68.00
    or the classier models for £80.
    i also supply zanussi tricity bendix whirpool which are really good quality
    but its competing with the lower end of the market.

    Re: amica appliaces

    I did manage to get a look inside one of these a few days ago. The first impression was that they are well engineered for the money. There is a large removable panel at the lower front, which is held by 2 screws. This gives access to the pump [askoll] ,and to change motor brushes. The drum [not a sealed tub] is mounted on three suspension legs. Machines seem to be issued without a guarantee card , but I am told the warranty is covererd by “Dimplex” whoever they are. I too am looking into selling a few of these, if I can source them at the right price.

    Re: Amica appliances

    wheres the best place to source these from then as portway claim to be the only uk suppliers but seem a bit pricey?

    surely they cant be the only suppliers of Amica?

    Re: Amica appliances

    The washer at BDC is £154.99 + VAT it would appear that Portway is the best way 😆

    Re: Amica appliances

    the electric cookers are now £100 + vat, but our customers dont want to pay more than £150 for them as the currys down the road is doing indesits at less than £150 🙁
