I picked up this little gem yesterday. Guy who was selling it got it in a house he was flipping. It's never been removed from the box. Tomorrow, when I get it home, I'll take more pictures.

Some pictures as I unboxed it. The box is not in great shape. Water damage and disintegrating.

It’s probably a convertible like some of the Whirlpool portables were. My Whirlpool portable could either be hooked up to the sink, like a portable dishwasher, or to hot and cold supply lines just like a regular automatic. I used mine both ways, depending on whether or not I had regular water and drain connections. So the casters were for when it was used as a portable. If used as a regularlly connected automatic the casters were locked int place to prevent movement.

My vintage Whirlpool (in Harvest Gold) WP compact washer was a "convertible" model. One could use it either way; stationary or portable.
To use it as a portable besides castors instead of feet, one set the water temperature controls to "Cold/Cold". Wash and or rinse temperatures were then controlled from the tap. It has been awhile and machine has long since been sold onto another member but, IIRC one capped off the rinse water hose port and just used the wash side. When used as a portable a "quick connect" dishwasher type hose was used. Two hoses; one for drain, other for wash/rinse water. For stationary all this palver was reversed; two water hoses, a separate drain hose and feet instead of castors. There are of course *other* ways to make said washer "stationary". Mine's wouldn't dare though.... *LOL* |

I suppose this is the forerunner to the crappy impeller washers on the market today. |

Congratulations! What a find, my grandparents had a Sanyo machine like this at our old cottage. Side note, how well do these machines clean? |

You know, I've used this style of washer frequently and there's a lot to be said for them: They clean quite well and frequently spin out very well. If enough water is used, the cycle is the appropriate length and the washer not overloaded they don't tangle clothes as badly as their reputation. Yes, they can tangle clothes more easily than an agitator washer, but nowhere near as bad as all that. I'm looking forward to seeing her in action! |

If the machine does tend to suds-lock, try using the 'High Efficiency' detergents to keep the foam under control. |

Aaaaaaaaand it's mine, wooo hoo After nearly a month of a misterious negotiation, Darryl and I are the new owners of this Hotpoint Washer. For decades I've been curious about this portable washer and tomorrow I'll run the very first load with clothes in it. Of course I'll make tons of videos for you guys. Hopefully in less than 24 hours. And.... This cute washer now lives in Los Angeles. |

Does anybody know if there was a matching dryer for this washer and if yes, what model was it? Do you have at least pictures of it? |

I have the matching dryer for my GE version of this washer. I could post the picture but I won't be home until Tuesday. If nobody posts before then, I will. Bill |
