With nearly 50 years in the appliance industry, I've seen it all. I am tired of top brands living off their name and now starting to produce shoddy products.
I've made many videos and even a playlist about built-in obsolescence. These videos have millions of views and keep growing. What's really surprising is that manufacturers aren't disputing the information.
Manufacturers need to improve their brand names by producing quality again, I'm here to share my knowledge, help you repair what you own, and fight for a more sustainable future.
We make videos on domestic appliance repairs (Cookers, Washing Machines, Tumble Dryers, Ovens, Hobs, Fridges & Freezers etc.) fixing the vast array of kitchen appliance.
We have a website that is designed to help you repair your appliance yourself, with the help of video and step by step instructions on the procedure. All this and more for FREE!!
Please use the CONTACT US PAGE if you need help and I will reply as soon as I can.

🚨 THE PETITION IS READY: Stop Built-In Obsolescence! 🚨
You’ve all seen my breakdown on exactly why I DO NOT recommend Heat Pump Tumble Dryers. With over a MILLION views on the channel, the truth is out there:
These machines are UNRELIABLE and DESIGNED TO FAIL.
If we don't take a stand against this throwaway culture now, you will absolutely regret it later when you're forced to replace a machine that should have lasted for years. https://youtu.be/xn03N3b0-lE?si=cDdy9...
Petition: Do not bring in the new Ecodesign Regulations on tumble dryers in the UK
Don't make heat pump tumble dryers effectively the only new models legally permitted for sale. The proposed ban undermines the purpose of the UK Right to Repair Regulations. Set up an independent taskforce of experienced appliance engineers to assess the cost/benefit ratio of the ban on UK consumers

Check out what I call quality. Yes, there's some noise from the motor, but listen to how the timer clicks. Notice the firmness of the actions. This is when Hotpoint made real quality. Thank you so much. ​@WeHadOneOfThose

đź”´ Live Stream Update
I'm absolutely gutted to let you know that we won't be able to go ahead with our planned live stream today. Tom and I are currently up to our elbows stripping down a particularly stubborn dishwasher and to be completely honest, it's turned into a bit of a nightmare. It’s taking far longer to sort out than we originally anticipated.
The good news is, we'll be rolling the live stream over to tomorrow at the exact same time.
I am so sorry for the short notice and for messing you about. Thank you all massively for your continued patience and understanding.
Catch you tomorrow!
Cheers,
Paul

⏰ TIME CHANGE:
So sorry for the last minute change! 🙏
We have to push today's live stream back to 7:00 PM. I have an unavoidable appointment come up to get my tracking done at 3:00 PM, so we can't make the usual time.
I am really sorry for the short notice and for messing your schedule around today. Thank you so much for your patience, and I will see you at 7:00 PM!

It's not often that I'm really impressed with someone defending the rights of people. You need to watch this video to understand how big companies sometimes bully small individuals and how a certain person called Louis Rossman is defending people's rights.

Even when washing machines are made by hand by people in third world countries, they are more serviceable than the ones we have today. Yes, the quality is poor, cheap plastic, cheap components. But I imagine they will still last longer if looked after than our modern Western society machines. Plus, they give local jobs to local communities.

AI copies a lot of content today, but I don't mind when it's spreading the word. Obsolescence has to stop.

The "fridge mountain" in Newport is a wake-up call. I wanted to show you what happens when our "throwaway culture" hits a dead end.
We’ve gone from appliances that served families for a quarter-century to machines that are essentially "landfill-ready" after 7 years.
I’ve heard from so many of you whose modern fridge-freezers haven't even made it to their 4th birthday. We’re being sold a lie that constant consumption is necessary for the economy, but we’re paying for it with our wallets and our environment.
I want to hear from you: How old was your last fridge when it gave up the ghost? Are we really okay with "7 years" being the new normal?
