Tom Loving the pics, thats a fabulous example of Hotpoints heyday! Any wonder they were the UK's number ?! LOL Cant beat those Hotpoints can you - they wash and rinse so much better then the Hoover equivalents due to longer more vigourous tumbles and bloody quick to accelerate spins. Hotpoints also had more interim spins which meant they rinse so much better with less water. Great noises too. i just love em! Gotta say, I do love those chrome doors on the New Generations though.

The programme guide and dispenser front. This model proudly announces that it's made in Great Britain, and of course designed in Great Britain too! (Not Italy!) |

Not to steal your thunder Tom, heres a sneak preview of something "Chrome" currently sat in my utility room, classic chrome - so shiney and precious. However as this is your thread tis time to not talk about mine and Pauls new machine! We will start a new thread in July when we are on holiday all about our new Hotpoint and the ins and outs etc. Rob and Paul |

Looks interesting Rob! No push button... 95620 maybe. If it's chrome it's made before Feb 1985. Tom |

Slight fault so it seems. There is something wrong that connects the dial and the option buttons.... Pre wash with a "bow tie" pause. where is the Auto prewash button? Surely it should have a "o" after pre wash to stop the machine? only Auto prewash enabled machines had the bow tie as a rinsehold style pause point to halt the machine if you didnt want 95 deg after it. Just seems odd to me, LOL. Anyways back to Toms machine, Thanks for posting pix, i really do love your machine. Rob |

Dyson2drums -Messing with spin speeds is something i did when young too. I used to love our Indesits variable speed dial from 300 -100. i used to take it up and down during the spin it was fab. I always wanted to try it on my mates Hotpoint with the variable speed slider but alas was not allowed Steve |

Hello Tom, very nice machine and one you will certainly enjoy by the sounds as opposed to the Zanussi!!! I picked up a 9571 1000 spin De-Luxe a while ago, everything nacked with it including a cracked fascia!!! why they couldnt see that you needed a strength support behind the fascia is beyond me...and as they age so they get more brittle...SO BEWARE!!! Lovely machine in its day, and boys , YES, a CHROME door will always upstage a BROWN one...LOL |

Motor on Top...!!no drips of water on this whizzer...nowthen for all you people with a physics degree.... Does it take more "Motor Torque" to "Pull" the weight of the drum from the TOP, or is it better to have the motor underneath...and if "UNDERNEATH" should it be directly central or is it still as efficient to one side????? enquiring minds need to know??? |

Oh how all these Hotpoint pics make me want to use our new toy so much, but way too noisy for tonights wash which will be going on in a minute, No doubt be woken up at 1am when the Indes(h)it rumbles into the fast/slow/fast/cant make up its sodding mind what speed but supposed to be 1000 has a knackered motor at 7 months old/fast/slow spin of a 95deg whites wash all the same though. Would rather be woken up though at 23.45 though by the Hottie LOL!!! Still, if I want my whites on the line before I go to work at 5.30am it will have to do. Fantastic pics I must say y'all! Just the thing needed to cheer us all up while the weather decides what it is doing LOL!!! R |

Paul, I purely stuck that one up to show the spin slider models, my best friend had the 9540 & my mums best friend had the 9545! which i've attached! I always remember when she washed some bathmatts and the machine moved bloomin loads. That was always terrifying when our 9534 launched forwards..That and the knackered bearings sounding like stones slamming about! lol Great machines. Darren |

Hi & Welcome to the club jonb! This is a great place! I'm sure you'll love it! Sorry to hear your 9534 didn't last you long. We got 12 years out of ours, washing for 6 sometimes 8 people. My dads buisiness partner had the same model in polar and when it died for the last time they replaced it. They gave it to us for a donor machine. When i took the back off all that had happened was the belt had slipped. I was only young then before i got adventurous fixing things, so i diagnosed it but didn't know how to fix it lol. Lol I don't know about anyone else but i always wanted what i couldn't have! When i was a kid i had the hotpoints and always wanted a hoover electron or logic. Then when i didn't have a hotpoint. i wanted a hotpoint!! lol. I finally got a hoover in the end, it too me a good 15years though lol. Darren. |

I'm was exactly like that as well Darren lol!! When we had the Bendix Homelaundry Center w/d which was an amazing machine, I wanted one of the new 6kg Hotpoints! God knows why, the Bendix lasted almost 15 years, and I didnt realise how great the Bendix was until in 98 when we got the Bosch Maxx! You can just imagine the comparision hehe!! Talking of the spin slider thing! - They are tottaly amazing LOL! Ive never had a chance to play around with one on a great Hotpoint like in the pics above! :( But Ive noticed that you can do the same in the Hoover Vision I have LOL! The sound it makes when you make it speed up and down from 600-1600! Tottaly amazing! But I dont do it very often, I dont think the machine would be very happy with that LOL!! Great Thread Guys!!! Richard |

Hi Jon, Hmm i remember my neighbours old hotpoint i've forgot the number but attached a piccie:D It would only work on 2 programmes, i think they were both 60degrees, i kept telling her our repairman was cheap and could fix it for her but she was happy to insinerate everything on 60! lol! Sounds like you were had there matey! Nothing more annoyin, when i got my first hoover newwave washerdryer "reconditioned" It went wrong on the 2nd load, the guy messed me about so i got the part and fitted it myself. i just wanted him to pay for it! lol. So you have a wma hotpoint now? What do you think to it? I used 2 have a WMA62 which i liked, now have a WT960 & i don't like it. I hate the 20min cotton spin on both models! Bad balancing on the wt960! Darren |

My step brother has a 9530 Electronic 1000 plus from 1989, which i don't know what the difference is between the 9534 and the 9530 lol I loved the way you could make it do a spin drain and make it spin with a machine full of water. Brilliant Machines, last time i used it was in 2002, so haven't seen him in 6 years. My other step brother has a early 2000's hotpoint, with the power stream wash action |

Back in the days when you could be really friendly with your neighbours!!! Nice pic of your machine! Good of you to post it! Thats not a bad quality pic! I've seen worse lol! Your lucky then to get one of the machines that doesnt take an age to spin!!! I was messin about pluggin machines in at work the other week when i was on my own & i span a WT741 which was 15mins n did an anticlockwise spin! I've only seen videos on youtube on an anticlockwise spinnin hotpoint so it was cool to see! lol. Darren |

Ahh yes the powerstream! I had 2 WMA62's the first one died of bearing failure that most of the first line did & hotpoint ran a replacement on the effected models when they went wrong! The strange thing is, the first machine distributed and span clockwise, but the replacement powerstreamed anticlockwise & span clockwise!!! Darren |

Hi jonb it's the same for me, the difference between my machine and yours is that yours is 1200 spin and mine is 1400 spin with one more variable dial.(tempearature) thanks, my aunts got a wf860 which does the spin rinse at the beginning of spin, however hers is hot & cold fill, the new ones like your mums are only cold fill. |

Tom, Hows the Hotpoint doing of late? Any complaints about the noise from the family yet or are they just enjoying the well washed, rinsed and nicely spun washing? Would be great to hear how its going and how its improving or affecting your laundry over the Zanussi? I sure do hope no P&G products are being used in that fine example LOL! Nothing makes me reminisce 20 years back quite like the sound/roar of my godmothers 95459 and the scent of Persil the original NB in a 95degree whites wash. Cheers Rob |
