There`s a guy in the public forums telling us that empire direct can supply a Bosch WAE24260 washing machine for £289:99 with free delivery and inc. 5 year parts and labour guarantee and they`re in stock (allegedly)
I went straight to the site thinking he must have got that wrong but sure enough that`s what it says unless I`m missing something in the small print http://www.empiredirect.co.uk/content/p … 4260GB.htm
Unbelievable deal and I`m still thinking something is not quite as it seems.
I`m thinking of buying a few 😆

Re: Beyond Belief
Hi Ken
It clearly states on that page (highlighted in red just below the picture) that it includes free 5 year guarantee :?.

Re: Beyond Belief
Sorry Bryan, I totally missed that. 😳
I have NO clue how they’re doing that deal at all, it doesn’t make sense especially if they’re using DAG for the warranty. But reading the terms the warranty is issued by Empire themselves and doesn’t appear to be underwritten.
Well dodgy IMO.

Re: Beyond Belief
if u read it, the cop outs there
If we cannot reasonably arrange a suitable replacement we will pay you a contribution towards the cost of the new equipment. We will normally base this on reasonable usage of the item.
offer em an indesit, customer says no, offer em £20
ne reason why they cant do that, cos thats how it looks, therell be some con somewhere, although on the face of it, it looks fantastic

Quite agree K.
If a deal sounds to good to be true then it probably is 😉Don
Re: Beyond Belief
I sent them an e-mail asking if the 5 year warranty was either a manufacturers or a major insurance company warranty.
The reply came back “we are offering the free guarantee” whatever that means :?.
Think we`re all agreed that this looks extremely dodgy and not really a proper guarantee :rolls:. Bet they`ve shifted quite a few of those Bosch machines on that deal though and I doubt if Bosch would be very happy with empire direct using such tactics :x.

Re: Beyond Belief
The only good thing about it Bryan is, that model is now discontinued and no more is stock available at Bosch. We had our last load last week. I guess Empire have a few to shift hence the “offer”. Anyway the WAE24162 is a much better appliance 😉

Unfortunately Don , the same offer/scam is being offered on that model too.
“Deal” ends 31st. March apparently , we’ll see :rolls:.
