Re: TESCO £99 WASHER
Thats not really the point is it though.
they have stated that they are able to sell this product at such a ridicules price and will only do hard to the trade really as they are still offering a 3 yr warranty for an extra £50.

Re: TESCO £99 WASHER
i have a store near me so i might just go and buy 10 and then sell them at £179 as everywhere else is selling machines at £179.99 so when tesco stop being idiots and put the price back up i will be selling them at the same price
Re: TESCO £99 WASHER
It had to happen really.
I think that it’s probably a publicity stunt though in all honesty on the part of Tesco, hence the get in the newspapers and get known for electricals.
This is new ground for the supermarkets as they’ve only dabbled in major whites before, most often subcontracting the job to the likes of DRL in the case of Sainsburys, so they’ve yet to experience all the associated hassles that go with the territory.
They are learning though.

Re: TESCO £99 WASHER
a customer showed me the advert in the daily record just as i was installing a recon washing machine i was selling her for £100.
that will save me the bother of recon washing machines anymore i was selling them for £150 5 years ago.
this will also save me changing washing machine bearings, changing pcbs,
changing motors, changing timers.
i am off to get a job at tescos stacking shelves.
yes they dont have any but a seed has been planted in peoples mind new washing machine = £100.last one out put the lights off.
Re: TESCO £99 WASHER
right … everyone pull the shutters down – NOW
if were all defeatist, we’ll all be out of a job
it wont last, it cant
its a marketing ploy, nothing more – 12 week waiting times, failed deliveries, no stock
trust me, it’ll go away
Re: TESCO £99 WASHER
Well, that’s Miele finished and Bosch……AEG and Hoover…..
Anyone who owns a Servis will quickly regret it anyway. Self-fulfilling prophecy.
Does anyone know if that £99 includes the WEEE charge? 😉 If it does, it’ll cost the customer more in continual recycling fees than if they bought a proper machine. BTW; is this machine a Merloni?
And that £50 warranty for 3 years? Who’s going to be daft enough to take on that contract?Steve.
Re: TESCO £99 WASHER
Hi 🙂
Just 2 words dont they call this” SWITCH SELLING” 😈
they advertise an appliance for £99 but only have 3 or 4 per store and then SWITCH you over to an other make or model at £179.99 plus delivery £29.99 😮Re: TESCO £99 WASHER
this is juat same old tesco’s, sell something at a loss till all the competition shuts up shop, then jump the prices, where we are, they came & did the petrol station, undercut the other 3 local garages, till they all went under, now tesco is the only garage within 10 miles, and the prices are 5p’ltr more than those 10 miles away!, think this is just a ploy to get anyone with bank holiday time off to look for a mchine in through the doors, then ‘oh sorry we’ve sold out, how about this £299 one’ and a lost sale for everyone else, just my grumpy old opinion of course 😉
Re: TESCO £99 WASHER
Yeah we spotted this the morning, having been in retail as well as this business the chain I used to work for and it was not white or brown goods, we always had a product that was known as a call bird or lost leader. Its merely a sales stunt to pull punters into the store where the evil salesman can sell them up the ladder or did I mean to say down the river .
I have myself reached the conclusion that these monopolies are almost sicking. Take Dixons, Currys Digital, PC World, The Link. They have a whole team of people who’s sole purpose is to run this monopoly with products that overlap even appear the same save for a minor detail which assists there buying power whilst at the same time alleviates them having to price match. How they get away with it amazes me and the staff are brainwashed into to preventing the consumers from getting the best value for money as well as doing thier upmost to errode and prevent consumers from obtaining there rights.
We had a Esso Petrol Station near us where we filled up, it then closed and re-opened as a Tesco Petrol / Grocery store. Tesco got a change of use on the site and at the same time REDUCED the number of pumps from around 12 to four ?
The result of this is that when you call to purchase fuel the forecourt is hogged by cars left at the pumps while the owners are in shopping, browsing, making coffee and microwaving quick snacks. When you finally do get fuel you have to wait in a queue with loads of these shoppers while the folks charge up Electricity and Gas Keys, Get points on loyality cards along with a myraid of other services Tesco push.
We no longer frequent this site and buy our fuel elsewhere, meanwhile the small shopkeepers who had viable business in this area are fighting a battle with this greedy company who can bulk buy and do what they like and open all hours. Once they have shut the small shops they will increase their prices to add to the obscence profits they already make.
When will the public ever learn that these monopolies are not interested us as customers only money and no service.
Re: TESCO £99 WASHER
The sad thing is, this is going to be the future 😥
I will be writing to Tesco’s chairman and voice my opinion, as a shareholder 😳
