Hey Rich Yes, a similar model was sold in Australia and also New Zealand. In Australia it was marketed under the Kelvinator name (at least) and in New Zealand was under the Frigidaire and Fisher & Paykel names, maybe even Kelvinator too. I have seen a few dryers about but so far the washer has not surfaced. I saw one about 10 years ago but nothing since. Cheers Leon |

Absolutely LOVE those things. If some strange person happens to snipe one of those away mysteriously from E-Bay-------it's me! I've been trying to sweet-talk the folks at Abel's to ship it for me. O.k. in my dreams. Wonderful machine! |

Hi Mark, Congrats on finding the Hotpoint 1504...!! They are great and have had one for over 5 years now and has given good service ever since. I did have to give it a complete over-haul before i used it, but it had been sitting for about 20years in a larder, and was only used a handful or so times. Hope you find out where the leak is coming from. Happy 1504 washing !! Keith |

Hello Richard Brilliant!........what classic styling.......excellent job getting that one........the toploaders are my favourite Hotpoint machines, having owned and worked on one I can vouch for their peformance and build qaulity......lovely lovely The "powders" button another gem, just like the "bio" button on some Servis machines (correct me if im wrong Mike), ah what a time that was when "bio" poweders where coming on the market designed for those "Understains" :-) as one manufacturer put it :-) MARK ARghhh yah bugger, i thought summit was going on when i saw the parts an things on ebay.........I kind of understand you doing this.........but as you say if another old washer starts woooing you will you be able to resist :-) I hope you enjoy your washing Richard :-) Gary |

Now Peter, dont mock one of our National Treasures!!!...Lol..nice thought though, daft thing is, we would never have used liquids in this machine when new, all that would have been about would have been powders!!! the switch is for cold fill to take advantage of synthetic based new formula powders like Ariel that have low temp enzymes etc... Hey Steve, we have an appliance buddy who renovates these machines, completely re=builds & restores them better than Hotpoint made the last ones, might not be out of relms if we can find a reasonable shipper with a bit of spare container space!!! Failing that just book your ticket!! |

Hi Alex, In response to your question regarding the cycle on the 1504, you have the sequence right, although I always felt that the "Static" rinse is pretty pointless. I guess it is to semi release any crease's but apart from that not much more...it was kind of a step backwards from the 1500-1502 whereby they had two agitated rinse's one in warm and then one in cold, much more effective. I am sure one will come your way soon, keep looking !! Cheers Keith |

Amazing how much the Hotpoint agitator resembles the Easy Spiralator; they're almost twins. How grand to have a "kitchen" counter top on the washer. You guys love to wash in the kitchen--me too;-D The Powders button is very funny and so perfectly British. Still not sure what it does, but I'll figure it out someday. |

I am with Paul as regards how smart it is, I would even go as far as to say that these control panels (and of course the HP 1600 which I am always banging on about) were the most elegant of the time line control panels even surpassing, in my opinion, even the predecessor models (which are pretty good too) and certainly the successor models Al |

The age of your machine! Date coded '35', your machine rolled off the assembly line back in November 1972. Wonder if it was a Christmas present or a January sales purchase? |

Except that it was late 1960s styling. I can see the Braun influence though, and indeed I can think of several other appliances (and TVs) which were influenced in a similar manner by Braun. Great as Rich's looks in isolation, just scroll back up to Keith's kitchen to see how well this 1960s design fits in a modern kitchen, indeed (and no offence intended Keith) I think it sits better than the modern dishwasher beside it.

Hi David, Interesting point about the "Static" rinse..I have a 1501 and that does 2 rinses, one in warm water and then one in cold, with 2 spins, one after the wash, and then another after the 2nd rinse..and it de-sudz the tub after the 1st rinse, hence i felt it was a backwards step dropping an agitated rinse. Any thoughts..? Cheers Keith |
