Looks so stylish with the chrome door, this is my favourite of the 18- series Hotpoints, I prefer it to the purple liberators! :D Matt |

Throwing our other 18 series in for good measure. The 18680 will scrub up nicely and shine like new again. Had worse restorations than that aint we P lol, Just need to get our hands on the Purple Variable Liberator 1848 we know when the current owner has finished with it and we should have a fabulous set of them. |

Hi all Great to see another one of these in use. I think I prefer the door on yours compared to mine. I've always been a fan of chrome doors. During the big freeze my Hottie was wheeled inside and used as our main machine. I must say I love it! (BTW the other machines were drained to prevent freeze damage). I prefer to let it heat from cold it then does a nice long wash. I also might be able to date it more closely. On the synthetics wash it did not do the cool down phase which puts this machine at an earlier date. However, I will need to check the brochure. So Bjorn any idea of dating your machine? Unfortunately mine had the back replaced so the label is wrong. Mine has three stablizing legs. I love the simple rinsing, although prefer to keep the interim spins down. I find the fast burst, although fun, causes more suds. I can see why they went for the 2 short spins later. BTW good luck to whomever gets the wonderful Hottie Top loader in Leamington. A great machine but too far for me. Rob |
