Freebie Alert! Jollytronic hands free flushing valve

[Ray Stafford]

Well, I bet you weren't expecting this on Easter Sunday afternoon!

If you are reading this after the afternoon of Sunday 20th April 2014, skip over it, because the freebies will be long since gone.

People who got the iT500 freebie, but have not yet reviewed it are NOT ELIGIBLE for this freebie, so don't bother trying! If you have done the review, then you are eligible again. You have to be registered with www.tradeonlyplumbing.co.uk to grab a freebie. If you haven't already registered, you will probably be too late for this freebie - but who knows what the next one might be! Get registered!

The freebie is the Jollytronic, hands free flushing valve from Wirquin. See this promotional video.

[video=youtube;DuiYW_kNDew]

You can claim your freebie by visiting [DLMURL="http://www.tradeonlyplumbing.co.uk/wirquin-jollytronic-no-touch-flushing-valve.html"]this page [/DLMURL]and putting JUST ONE valve in your basket and checking out. At the check out enter the promotional code JOLLY690 in the box. This should reduce the price to zero and carriage will be free. If you attempt to buy more than one, your basket will be rejected.

Only the first 6 people to claim will be successful. As always, it is a condition of the freebie that you return to the site and write a product review. The review does not need to be positive, but please keep any criticisms constructive, which helps to encourage manufacturers to contribute products for review.

If you miss the freebie but would like one anyway, please place an order as normal, but there may be a slight delay in despatch, as we currently only have the sample valves - our main stock has not yet arrived.

This product has been around for a little while, but I believe it has been overpriced. I reckon that this is a natural up-sell to the eco-aware, hygeine-conscious customer, and at under £50 inc the VAT I think its finally at a realistic price. And the batteries will wear out, so in a couple of years time, you get a nice little earner changing them. 🙂


A big thanks to Alex Balfour - trade sales director of Wirquin - for putting up the freebies.

[Killy Bing]

BOOM.

ahh damn..... Just earned myself a bathroom to put in....fml

 

[Ray Stafford]

Irish and Chappers pick up the next two.

Just three to go

 

[Destroyer2813]

That would solve rockets problem for his old lady that can't flush her toilet

 

[IDCHAPPY]

And Killy Bing gets in there like a rat up a drainpipe!

Does this surprise you?😉

 

[Irish]

thanks Ray

 

[Masood]

I think I might have sneaked in there LOL!

 

[Ray Stafford]

There is a model out later this year designed for furniture. ATM I think that this one will only fit in a cistern. Mind you, it probably wouldn't be rocket science to adapt it.

 

[Ray Stafford]

I think I might have sneaked in there LOL!

Yep - you get the 4th one

 

[IDCHAPPY]

Thanks Ray and Alex \o/

 

[Dotty]

Wahey! Get in there Croppie!

Just as my syphon starts to pack up too!

 

[Ray Stafford]

Croppie slides under the door to pick up no 5

 

[Masood]

Wahey! Get in there Croppie!

Just as my syphon starts to pack up too!

Ummm slight problem though Croppie. You can't get it delivered?!

 

[Masood]

Yep - you get the 4th one

Thank you Mr Ray, and also to Wirquin! 🙂

 

[Irish]

Ummm slight problem though Croppie. You can't get it delivered?!

Lol was thinking the same masood

 

[Ray Stafford]

Ummm slight problem though Croppie. You can't get it delivered?!

Yeah, we deliver freebies to NI. It was that or get banned. 🙂

 

[Dotty]

Croppie slides under the door to pick up no 5

Cheers Ray, and thank you Alex.

Ummm slight problem though Croppie. You can't get it delivered?!

No no no no.... It said £0 delivery fees it did. I took a screen print.

And my slighty decrepit but very bribable lawyer is watching.......

 

[Ray Stafford]

SimonG grabs the last one.

 

[TomLane]

Dammit, too slow!

 

[SimonG]

Cheers Ray and Alex.

 

[Ray Stafford]

Dammit, too slow!

Just too late Tom.

 

[Killy Bing]

If you think it would be more practical for rocket and go for a better use than just being a gadget + he thinks so too then fire my one over to him?

or is that smashing the freebie rules

 

[Ray Stafford]

Up to you Killy. I don't know how straightforward it would be to adapt for furniture? And to be honest, I don't know if this is the best product to have in a rented house. But happy for you and Rocket to sort it out between you.

 

[Killy Bing]

Will give him a pm. Happy to install it here if he doesn't think its practical 🙂

 

[IDCHAPPY]

Wahey! Get in there Croppie!

Just as my syphon starts to pack up too!

Thoughtyou didn't like touching cludgys dude 😛

 

[Riley]

All gone I spose???

 

[Ray Stafford]

All gone I spose???

Fraid so.

 

[Riley]

These were the ones that I pointed out as £0.00 weren't they.

 

[julesverne]

Missed it again 🙁

 

[Riley]

Any chance of a deal for people that have never reviewed before Ray???? Get some different opinions :smile:

 

[Ray Stafford]

These were the ones that I pointed out as £0.00 weren't they.

Yes they are

 

[Killy Bing]

I'll take the flush ray 🙂

 

[Rickster123]

Damn my afternoon nap!!

 

[Phil]

Damn my afternoon nap!!

Mine too! :disappointed:

 

[Toxic Ted]

Once again the devil farts in my general direction!

 

[Nostrum]

Any chance of a deal on paying for one but still getting a review back in return, Ray?

My daughter struggles to push the flush and although it may take a while for her to learn the art of moderation when using it, I'd be interested in buying one to solve a problem at the same time!

 

[Ray Stafford]

Any chance of a deal on paying for one but still getting a review back in return, Ray?

Sorry Sam. If fear that if I opened that box, I would be inundated with people wanting a deal on products in return for a review.

At least they are a sensible price now though. I had a quick google search and I couldn't believe the prices that people were charging for them. I had to go back and read the Wirquin price list a couple of times to make sure I hadn't made a mistake.

 

[kay-jay]

how much are they going for now then Ray?

 

[Ray Stafford]

how much are they going for now then Ray?

£39.95 plus VAT

 

[kay-jay]

only 2 quid cheaper than screwfix, come on Ray you can do better than that.....:stooge_curly:

Yeah fair enough, Ray, you'd be inundated with 22mm copper tube bundle reviews!

Actually, looking online at the photos I don't think the misses would be to pleased with the blue top it has, might not match the towels ....

 

[IDCHAPPY]

At least my kids have no excuse foe leaving toleys in the pan anymore :lol:

 

[Nostrum]

This is the problem, going up to use the loo only to be greeted by what looks like half a bag of maltesers in a toilet paper kebab left in the pan.

 

[SimonG]

Cheers Ray. It arrived today. Wasnt expecting the inlet valve as well 🙂

Might be able to get my bone idle 19 year old to flush the toilet now. Review to follow.

 

[Irish]

got mine too Ray,thanks off on holiday tomorrow so I'll fit it when I get back

 

[SimonG]

Also found out tonight that if you drink coke whilst eating liquorice allsorts it tastes like dandelion and burdock. Lovely 🙂

 

[village idiot]

I am getting a bit confused here? Nothing new there, but summat seems to have rattled my cage?????

So for those of us who are not computer savey or literate, we have no chance of ever getting a freebie, YES? Personally, I think the whole set-up is flawed. Considering that those with ''quickest fingers'' will always get the product on offer, what chance are there for the likes of myself who have to look three or four times to be sure I am pressing the right button/key? By the time I press the right key, Billy King would have received his freebie by post. Says a lot, innit?

Where is the fairness? A better option would be to get all those interested to make their interest known by replying to the freebie post. After say a week, Ray can draw lucky winners out of the hat. Ok, this may involve more time and effort, (which Ray or his staff don't have), but it gives more chances to more of us. What if you were at work when the offer goes live? By the time you notice it, it's long gone. I'm gutted.

 

[Dotty]

It's a case of you snooze you lose.

But in fairness to Ray he usually does give notice of impending freebies.

You'll catch one sooner or later.

 

[SimonG]

Its like everything in the world. Being in the right place at the right time.

VI, do a search in the arms for the ideal vogue freebie. It's about a million pages long.

Toys.pram.sore loser.

 

[Toxic Ted]

Me thinks Raymondo may do it this way to avoid favouritism claims.......if its any consolation i keep missing the list aswell........i like to think i will win something REALLY worth getting for free.

 

[SimonG]

Also probably easier logistically.

Do you have a Williams log on VI? If not it would be a start!

I do have one but I'm not holding my breath. Good luck to those who succeed in getting through.

 

[Dotty]

Woo and double hoo! Mine arrived this morning!

Along with a packet of out of date liquorice allsorts..... but that jokes backfired on ray cos i'm eating them anyway!

 

[Nostrum]

They were probably in date when they left, the wee horse and cart courier took its time, so he did, to be sure to be sure...

 

[Masood]

Got mine today! Thank you Ray! Will fit it in the next few days and report back...

[Ray Stafford]

Has anyone fitted their Jollytronic yet?

I've got their sales director camped on the review section of the forum ... 🙂

 

[SimonG]

Mine was going in yesterday. Fresh packet of batteries and all. Until I found my fresh packet of batteries was empty. Will be trying again tonight. Bought a fresh packet today.

 

[Dotty]

Mine's going in this weekend. Didn't fit either of my loo's so Mrs C made me go get a new CC pan and cistern for it.

This freebie's cost me a fortune!

I'll gloss over that bit though if the next packet of sweeties are in date.........

 

[Rickster123]

Here come the excuses, part timers! Village idiot would've used his by now #justsayin...

 

[TomLane]

I've fitted 3 loos since this offer came up! All suitable to use this device!

Just saying Ray............

 

[Irish]

Hi Ray, I fitted mine yesterday thanks to you and to Wirquin for the chance to get and review it.
For the install its a pretty standard easy flush valve to install, although in saying that the quality of the pictures is really bad. In my mind it would be better to give diagrams rather than poor resolution pictures. The valve itself seems decent quality.
Major plus for me was that it came with a new universal close coupled kit, was surprised to find that.
I like the fact it came with a new fov but I think maybe an option without one would be good too.
Bad points are n batteries!! come on we're plumbers and plumbers merchants don't stock batteries! someone else has mentioned this in a previous post and it's also the reason it took me so long to fit it.
The really bad feature for me is the actual push button mechanism itself, that silicone ring is going to get manky after awhile, it's quite a bad feature, it looks cheap and nasty to me! why not secure the mechanism like a standard push button ??? and the colour I would imagine this product would appeal to someone who's superclean and clinical so I'd imagine for them, this lid would be a huge no no.
conclusion for me is, that this is a good product in general but because of the push button mechanism aesthetics I wouldn't put another one in my house

waaooow!!! Even I would 'av sent Ray a PM about my concerns so he can forward to manufacturer. But I suppose the whole point of a review is to say it as you see it.

 

[Ray Stafford]

Thanks Clive.

I have created a new thread on the "product review" section and copied your review onto it (because in the Arms the manufacturer and public can't see it).

Its pre-moderated so may not appear for a while.

Thanks again for being constructive, even if critical. 🙂

I think it's a very clever product, but just don't like the button that's all
