    Apparently it comes with a “failure detection system”.

    Presumably that means after 14 months it will stop switching on to let you know it’s detected a “failure” :rolls:.

    These look to be the same stock as budget Daewoos though – only seen a couple but the pumps fail very quickly. There’s so little in the cabinet that changing it is nice and easy 🙂

    Yes, Chinese.

    No known UK service, spares or technical support. On investigation it appears the policy is that if it breaks, even for user error, you just get given a new one.

    Very environmentally friendly. :rolls:

    had a looksee round the sheds today as we need a new printer to see whats changed in the world of ink, and seems everyones at it, b&q, homebase, comet, currys etc…

    really dont think its worth opening the shop up until next year at the earliest, until most of this cheap stuff has passed thru, even the premium kit is silly money. its really disheartening when you see the gulf between the prices on show, and what your best offer is.

    across the board stock is either cheaper or same as what im able to buy it trade atm. 👿

    ASDA came second from bottom in a December greenest supermarket survey so it`s no surprise I guess 🙁

    I have been to a Russell Hobbs washer, sold by ASDA, through JTM.

    Just had my brother on the phone telling me he has just seen an advert on TV for a new store that is opening near him that will be selling washing machines from £125.00

    Un fortunately, he didn’t take note of the store name.

    Had a look in Asda today the Russell Hobbs tumble drier at £137 looks like a White Knight. Ironically on the other side of the aisle they had White Knights at £120.

    Unfortunately, he didn’t take note of the store name.

    Can you now see the direction this trade is going?

    We’d best keep up to speed on how to best fix them ‘on cheap’ lest they end up in land fill when the guarantee runs out!!

    they dont go to landfill, they go to recycling at great cost, so double whammy
