That is a great looking washer! So cool that you have one. I agree, someone needs to save it. Was it reliable? Brent | ||

That was my mother's 2nd automatic which she got in 1986/7. I remember it being rather noisy, particularly when spinning but she liked it. Looks it very good nick for 20 + years old!! | ||

My new toy!
Hi everyone I decided to bid on this machine and fortunately won it! I didn't want to say anything until it was delivered so not to tempt fate. I've been after a square door Hoover for sometime and this machine is lovely. It really is in mint condition. It was purchased 10/05/86 but might as well have been this year as it is like new, even inside. The program is a little disappointing as it only spins on one rinse and goes into wool wash mode at the end of the cotton wash all through the rinsing, but I really am made up about it. I will get some more pics and scans of the instruction book done tomorrow. I will video it but will not be able to get it on to youtube until I have the right equipment. Rob

Congrats rob! I knew abit of time and patience would net you the model you wanted, after many a telephone conversation (and in person) between myself and rob, rob always wanted one of these, so finally glad you got one rob! It was the same for me and my logic. i waited it out and got a beaut! Cant wait to see more pics/vids. Make sure you get a rinse pic!!!! Darren | ||

Thanks for your comments everyone, I consider myself very fortunate to have such a good machine and a nice bunch of blokes like yourselves. Jon - you are absolutely right, the machine does shake a bit on 600 and then steadys at 800. Mind you I do need to balance it a bit. Unfortunately no adjustable feet on this one, just wheels. Mark - Nice to see you back, will contribute to your other threads. Paul - Thanks for your comments and the pic. Yes indeed another machine has been saved and I can't see myself getting rid of it! I might be interested in a 1100, but will have to see as I would next like a Zanussi like the one I posted about on your ebay thread. Darren - cheers matey, like you said I would get there in the end. I will try and get some pics tonight and post them. Rob | ||

Hi there Well as soon as the weekend comes I will be doing a proper load in it. I've played with it a bit but haven't had too much time apart from setting it up. I know what you mean about the bricks, however, it's a bit of an illusion with the pic as they are further away than you think. Although, I want to be there when it does it's first full load spin. I will also film it in readiness to upload on youtube when I've worked out how to do it. Will only use this machine occasionally, want to keep it in it's mint condition. Rob | ||

Nice one Rob, that looks just out of the sales floor, and good to see no leaks from the backseal!!!you can just here that wiry sounding motor.... I`ve got the 1100 model and thought it had gone wrong when it started to rinse, up, up & even more, was just ready to turn it off then remembered....Its a normal washer from the days of old....not like these dry clean machines of today!!! have fun, Mike | ||

I'm glad this Hoover has gone to a good home. But it could of been mine lol! Still, I like it, especially the high water levels it does and yes, judging by the pictures, it looks just like brand new. It's better than todays Candy based machines I can tell you! | ||

Well I have now done a few loads in the machine. Boy did it bring back memories, although I have to say it does shake a lot. The older machines certainely weren't as stable as todays ones. Lots of fun though. I have done a film of my collection and the Hoover and Hotpoint rinsing, spinning. Hopefully I can sort something out for youtube. Rob | ||
