hi all, just a little query about the 1st of the Creda made Hotpoint compact dryers.
I know the 9303/9304 were the last square door compacts but I like 2 know when their successors appeared, was it before or when the Aquarius name debuted.
The style of dryer is still going today, just curious 2 know how long it's been around for lol.
Any info much appreciated, thanks. :)

...somewhere around 1991, which is about the time Hotpoint stopped making their original dryer designs with polypropylene drums. The absorption of Creda into the overall company structure - whatever it was at that time - meant Hotpoint started using the Creda design for their dryers, whilst Creda washers adopted Hotpoint designs.
