British-Made eBac Washing Machine Review Guide

In this guide, we will give you detailed review on a British-made eBac washing machine. It has been almost two decades since the last washing machine was manufactured on British soil. This review is essential for several reasons, the first being the machine's British origin. We strongly support the production of machines in the United Kingdom, not only for nationalistic reasons but also due to the ecological impact.

Please remember that, when working with washing machines or any electrical appliances, safety should always be your top priority, and we also suggest you watch our video.

We tried to be concise and give brief information on this guide, so we would recommend you watch our video since we're showing you almost everything about eBac washing machine.

Brief Explanation of eBac Washing Machine

Many washing machines today are built with a predetermined lifespan of about five years. The way this is achieved is through the design of the washing machine drums which are no longer repairable. Some manufacturers weld the drums together, making it impossible to access the spider or bearings to replace the bearings on the machine. This leads to machines becoming obsolete after a short period of time.

Furthermore, circuit boards are often produced with minimum tolerance levels on the relays, causing the relays on the circuit board to become faulty. In the United Kingdom alone, with approximately 28 million households, the majority of which own a washing machine, the demand for new machines is high. With a lifespan of only five years for each machine, this results in the purchase of millions of machines each year, most of which are imported. This process is not only costly but also has a significant ecological footprint.

However, there are manufacturers who are conscious of these issues and are working to address them. One such company contacted us four years ago, seeking our opinion on what we liked about certain machines and what we disliked about others. Our primary concern was the issue with the bearings on the machines. This company took our feedback into consideration and produced a machine that is not only well-made but also has repairability built into it.

This machine, like all models produced by this company, has the same door, door seal, and pump. This standardization reduces manufacturing costs, making the machine more affordable. The bearings, spider, and drums are different because of the capacity size, but they are rated for higher capacity. Therefore, even if you buy the lower capacity, you're getting a stronger machine.

Additionally, these machines are environmentally friendly. They have not only cold-filled machines, but also hot and cold filled machines. This is beneficial if you have solar energy to heat your water or if your house has central heating. The machine uses less energy, thus saving you money.

Now, let's discuss the pros and cons of this machine. There are a few minor things we didn't like. For instance, there's no access point for the filter. You have to remove the panel to gain access to the filter. Also, there's no marker on the knob, which would be helpful for visually impaired people. Despite these minor drawbacks, we believe that this British-made washing machine is a solid choice for its durability, repairability, and environmental friendliness.

Disassembly and Interior Features

Now that we've completed a full wash cycle, let's take a closer look inside this machine. Before we begin, ensure that the machine is unplugged from the power supply. This process is simple, requiring only a few basic tools: a flat blade screwdriver, a pair of pliers, and a drill with a screwdriver bit to speed things up.

Firstly, we remove the concrete weight to provide a better view of the machine's interior. The machine features a pump housing with two motors, one for circulation and the other for draining the machine. The motor is located at the back, and the circuit board can be accessed from the rear panel, which also allows access to the motor.

The door seal is straightforward to replace, but the key feature here is the drum's design. Unlike many contemporary washing machines, this model has a drum that can be disassembled. The front half of the drum can be removed by unscrewing the screws around the drum, providing access to the bearing system. This feature makes it possible to replace the bearings, a crucial factor in the machine's longevity and repairability.

Final Thoughts About eBac Washing Machine

In conclusion, this British-made washing machine stands out for its build quality, repairability, and eco-friendliness. Not only does it have a sturdy construction and a variety of useful features, but it also addresses some of the common issues in modern washing machines, such as unrepairable drums and short lifespan.

While there are minor drawbacks, such as the lack of an access point for the filter and a marker on the knob, they are outweighed by the machine's overall performance and design.
