5 Million Views

We are very proud to announce that we’ve reached an incredible 5 million views of our how-to videos (5,580,269 to be exact!). The eSpares YouTube channel was born in December 2008 with just a handful of videos. Originally the vids were filmed in the homes of grateful eSpares staff but they’re currently filmed on a set in-house. Customer feedback has been crucial in helping us learn what types of faults are most common with appliances and therefore what we should be filming to help you. All the research and presenting is done by our own staff which further shows that most problems can be fixed by anyone no matter how DIY-inclined you might be.

What do you want me to say about a grill pan?’ OK so not all spare parts are particularly exciting, but on the flipside we do also receive tons of comments where people describe their satisfaction and pride in being able to fix their appliances themselves. Things like ‘I never knew how easy it was, can’t wait for something else to break’ or ‘I almost hope something else breaks so I can fix it myself.’
