Hi from Australia. With all the recent trade agreements between the UK and Australia, was wondering if Ebac have any plans to sell in Australia. Would love to buy a quality and durable washing machine from the UK or anywhere else other than China. Thanks
I'm Impressed with the video and the results of the tests and I would definitely consider buying one of these machines. I like the fact that its made in the UK and I also understand these machines unlike many others are repairable by design which has got to be good for the environment. What's not so impressive is that I have never heard of you until I came across this video by accident. You need to get advertising so that Ebac becomes a household name.
And that BOSCH German Engineering is made in? Yes you guessed it, China. All my friends are buying British whenever possible and several already have the eBac.
@@stepheng8779 BOSCH parts are made in several countries, including China. The drums are one piece, needing complete replacement should the bearings ever need replacing. eBac are made to easily replace parts, plus, the parts and machine are all made in the UK, on-site including the PCB boards, plastics, castings etc.
We have an LG washer made in…Poland has been reliable. You never buy the cheapest as washing machines are complex.Miele are suppose be top notch made in Germany nice to see Ebac which are a bit cheaper quality machines and made in the UK is rare these days.
I think you should hilight the 7 year warranty (parts **and** labour). The 'parts only' warranty that I've seen elsewhere are a joke. And you should aim for 10+ (15?) year warranty, long lasting machines are also good for the environment and the warranty shows that you have confidence in your engineering.
I know Miele offer a 10 year warranty, and say their machines are designed to wash 5 loads per week for 20 years, but it's all relative, as none of us live in a Lab, and we all use different methods to wash laundry. Then there's the type of detergent, water softness etc, so many variables to think about.
@@hermanmunster3358 Unfortunately Miele only offer 10 years now as an occasional special offer now. There’s none of their range that have it as standard. It’s 2 years outside of that. We had a Miele with a 10 year warranty and wanted to get another when it eventually wore out for 10 washes a week for 12 years (the fun of having triplets and a job in healthcare!) but they don’t do it often anymore. We now have a Ebac, 2 years of hard use later and it’s going strong so far.
@@hermanmunster3358 It only covers the motor, not the labour, just 2 years for the rest of the machine. I asked the same question when I was looking to getting a LG Turbowash machine so we were thinking on the same lines there.
@@sloeginandsleep1170 Fair enough. I mean, when the time comes, I've already decided that I will be going with Ebac, as I also like the idea of hot and cold fill, which will help to reduce wash times, and energy consumption. I do like Miele products, but I want to buy British, and the guarantee has won me over.
I’ve loved my Samsung for almost 7 years, but now the bearings are going and I’ve been told it’s not possible to change them . I’m considering ebac because I’m put off by really long wash cycles- my current machine has a very effective 1 hr programme that doesn’t seem available in any other machine now. As I only have one socket in that room I don’t want to tie it up for 3-4 hrs nor can I use it at night as I sleep on the adjoining wall 😩
Enjoyed the comparison between the eBac Vs a competitor. The eBac machine seems like a very attractive & robust alternative to one of the mainstream brands, maybe a bit on the expensive side? but I really like the brand and the thought that has gone into designing & manufacturing them. Hot feed is a great bonus. Well done eBac. On a side issue, I was surprised to hear "I am stood here" during the review, which was the only glitch in an otherwise flawless presentation.
The reduced water would save @ £300 in water (United Utilities) so added to the £100 saving in electricity £400 over 7 years is @ £60 a year. This assumes the EBAC is equally efficient over every type of wash cycle compared to thew competition. If it is as reliable as the competition and repair costs are less then it makes sense to buy one. It is the first time I have seen a washing machine actually be tested sensibly - with a power meter and measuring the water used. It ought to be a standard test and you have to wonder why the the washing machine manufacturers want to hide behind useless energy ratings instead.
it is a standard test. that's what the EU energy ratings are based on and are far more rigorous. this machine gets a lower energy rating than any premium brand on the market
@@alcurtis93 There appears to be a difference of opinion as to what tests are applied. There also appears to be a disagreement as to whether all machines are tested equally. Either way German machines are usually overly complicated with expensive parts and are more likely to become BER after fewer faults.
@@we-are-electric1445 I've just bought a Samsung with wi-fi and autodosing etc. Has a 5 year warranty but is probably overcomplicated. The which? review for these ebacs is very poor so I didn't get one
@@alcurtis93 I used to subscribe to Which ? and bought various recommendations but have been underwhelmed by them. Three years ago I bought a new Indesit washer drier of my own choosing because it looked like my AEG would not be fixed within a week. The AEG was fixed but I couldn't be bothered moving the Indesit out and putting the AEG back in. The Indesit cost me £240 new and has pretty well done everything I need. It is not complicated to use and it is pretty good on power use - don't know on water as I haven't checked it.. The AEG was too complicated and not totally reliable. If power and water use are low and it is cheap to buy, simple to use, parts are cheap and it is fixable when it does break then you can't go far wrong. I wont be buying another AEG. You should check the terms of your warranty. Too many manufacturers provide free parts but you have to pay for labour. When it comes to replace the Indesit I will certainly look at the EBAC.
@@we-are-electric1445 my warranty is 5 year parts and labour luckily. I got the A rated Samsung machine for 380 which is a good deal cheaper than the ebac but I like what the guys are doing. I'll consider one in the future. Cheers for your comments
Ebac needs to bring a heat pump tumble dryer to match the washer because people often buy matching machines. The Ebac washer needs to have a steam function to help with stains and increase hygiene within the machine.
I very much think my next machine will be an Ebac when our current one gives up the ghost. Any chance you can turn your magic to tumble dryers (of varying technologies)?
I would consider an EBAC one day (my current machine still has a few years). How do you buy one? Not available in the south of England, or big retailers ?
I think you can buy direct from the company. Email them - I did regarding delivery and they named a retailer local to where I live. When my Bosch rubbish finally dies I will buy an Ebac.
i was going to buy an ebac washing machine but their customer service put me off ... it's not very good ... the customer service that is. but the washing machine itself is a big beast and would stick out quite a bit under the work surface as it's so much bigger.
Just wished the EBAC had an energy rating of A under the new scoring scheme rather than C. Plenty of competitors are A rated but none come close to the EBAC 7 year warranty.
Try it against siemens iq700 washing machine? What program was it on because all programs have different water and electric use? That each program takes different water and electricity the bar on siemens and bosch?
I assume it is only assembled in the UK and all the parts are imported from abroad. I’d be very impressed if all the components were sourced locally from within the UK.
Good news there, they actually make 80% of their components in house. They use a forge in the UK to make the spiders and steel assemblies, they build the steel drum in the machine assembly plant from sheet metal and the only main component they import is the motor from LG, as it’s a inverter motor and hideously expensive to design and manufacture in house. There’s another video of their factory on here that gives a few insights which I’d recommend, it’s one of the reasons we brought one!
Will you stop making these in a few years time like you did with your freezers, fridges and heat pumps? Difficult to have faith in a warranty with that record.
Was the Bosch and Ebac run on the same Cotton program's? It could have also been better if you were to test the LG along with it to, although it may be a more superior machine compared to the Enac and Bosch. It is nice tough to see washing machines being made in the UK again tough since Hotpoint stopped doing this after they ended production of the WMA series when they were bought by Indesit/Merloni which produces their machines in Italy. But in my opinion Ebac's are a bit overpriced in comparison to other brands like Beko, AEG, Samsing and such but at least should have good build quality without its drum spider or bearings completely collapsing within 7 years of use.
I was looking for a new washing machine a year or so ago and looked into buying an Ebac because it's British made, but unfortunately they aren't available where I am. Hopefully next time I need a new washing machine I can buy one of yours.
It's British assembled. All the parts, I guess, are made all around the world. Otherwise, Ebac would cost the same with Sibir, Vzug or the most expensive models of Miele. 😉🍷🇬🇧
@@sloeginandsleep1170 well, I DO respect your opinion but as an economist, I am obliged to be scientifically honest. If it were 80% of all parts locally made, Ebac washers would cost 1500- 2000 pounds, at least😉🍷

The ebac jet doesn’t even spray on clothes rarely ever gets to 1600 whereas Bosch very rarely limits the spin and ones with jet actually gets on the clothes Bosch will always be better ebac are absolutely rubbish imo
It all well and good having all this but what you fail to say about your machines is they are extremely sensitive to an unbalanced load and don't spin half the time or it would spin stupidly out of balance. Furthermore the recirculation pump is extremely loud on a hot wash i only had the machine 1 month before I couldn't take it no more not worth the money I sent mine back I'll stick with my LG any day
All machines have software built within them to prevent out of balance loads preventing possible damage to the machine resulting in a non spin or over wet laundry load. Yes earlier Ebacs had a problem being over sensitive, but understand this was remedied. Ebac use a twin pump system and do a very good job in distribution the detergent correctly within the tub and drum. It sounds to me you may have had a faulty machine (Which happens) to the best of brands.
Hmm you stated it beat the Bosch but on the other side was an LG machine which you made no actual reference to in terms of wash speed or energy or water consumption. It's curious you'd trumpet that the EBAC beat the Bosch but not that it beat the LG. The cynic in me concludes this is because you've worked solely on the basis of confirmation bias, you've looked for and presented evidence that supports your claims and ignored anything that doesn't. Unless you're prepared to state what the figures the LG machine produced (and for that matter which specific machines from each brand you used as machines do vary across a brand), I think it's fair to conclude that the LG machine must have beaten the EBAC or at least performed significantly close to it for you not to mention it at all.
You rigged this video up I bet you had the Bosch on a longer cycle than Ebac and probably had Bosch on extra rinse which made it use more water I have a Bosch and I no it doesn’t use much water every who sees this comment don’t by Ebac because trust me there a load of rubbish by Bosch
Good Evening The Hoover Channel, 🇬🇧🌟 We manufacture everything that is possible within our factory in our plastic moulding, sheet metal, electronics and production division. We buy in steel from the UK and then press within our machines. We would love to either produce everything internally or from the UK, however, that is not physically possible unfortunately. For any parts we cannot manufacture here in house , we source ethically. Ebac are unique due to the manufacturing capabilities that we do have. Unlike all other manufacturers that assemble and build in Turkey or China for example, we try our very best to source BRITISH parts that cannot be made in our factory and invite anyone to see our facility for themselves. 🇬🇧🌟 I have attached a link showing the production process within our factory so you can see what is involved in our process. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Oqc_tPh9gE8.html We welcome people to come and see the factory. If this is of interest to you , let me know. Carrianne 🇬🇧🌟
@@Ebacltdwill yous ever update this machine like make the final spin actually reach 1600 and make the jet spray on clothes not the door give it a redesign as well as it looks like a cheap £250 machine from 2011 make the retailing price £350 and up the build quality and you will have a better chance of selling these
