hey guys, The otherday i got my hoover ecologic brochure through the post. Fabulous read. I'm even considerin the switch from logic to Ecologic. I just wondered, i know the main differences bein 20litre less water usage and less energy, but can anyone clarify this for me; did these machines spin faster than my logic in between rinses? Mine being 500rpm between rinses. I don't know if i made this up in my head or if its a fact that these span at 800rpm between the rinses. i know my newwave did. I'm wondering what my chances of findin a computer ecologic are. Ebays gone abit dry for vintage stuff. Right now all i'm seeing is indesit WIL's And Hotpoint WF's. I'm also considering movin my quartz on. Can't decide. Anyway i hope everyones enjoyin their sunday. i'm just doin a humungous colours load! i love it when its abit colder over here. My loads double in size! lol! Darren | ||

hi darren, we had an ecologic 1100 in my childhood and it span at 500 between rinses coz i remember moving the timeline across to 'N' which was Spin Dry 500, it was the same speed as the rinse spins. I remember knowing when the machine was going to launch into spin because the timer made two distinct clicks before beginning to spin. Have fun with your logic and quartz Matt | ||

Squeeky quartz Darren that squeeky noise on your quartz is just the drive belt. It needs tightening or replacing but tighten it first should cure that. I had the same noise on mine cause it wasn't tight enough. It gets quieter as it warms up. Steve | ||

Elloha! hmmm interestin. well my logics cycles vary dependin on outside tap water temp. as i run my machine off cold fill. its longer in winter. standardly it will do 40 in about 1hr to 1hr-30mins. hard to say. i've never ran this machine off hot and cold even when i had it in the house for a month when i got it. It does heat exceptionally fast though. only thing i'm noticing is the drums exceptionally stiff, i no hoover drums were never the free'est of drums to turn by hand. it just makes me wonder if theres any underlying issue there. decisions decisions.

oh my god. . . 
same here with the drum turning thing! Did you put an empty wash ball in for effect too? Lmao. I also used to try to "spin" a full load of washing after the machine had finished. My weak child arms got it just past distribute speed in the electrolux. My Hotpoint drum seems stiff but the logic at high school was always stiff. Thats going back 11 years i remember Nick. that.

Darren
Been thinking lately and now my housemate knows of my "Hobby" its time to start a collection. If you do decide the Quartz is to go i would definitely take it off your hands for a handsome price in your favour. Quartz's featured so much in my childhood so it would be great to own one thats been well looked after. It would also maybe convince me enough to maybe buy a pack of Ariel. . . . Only joking. Lol. But seriously let me know if you do want to. Nick

UPDATE: I just noticed on a webpage. They have parts to Your model of Hoover Logic. The carbon brushes (that is the thing that needs to be changed) is pretty cheap. I give a link after the text CLICK HERE TO GO TO fredriksam's LINK | ||

higher than a quartz?
really? My grans '83 quartz used to come half way up the door, on full cotton loads. I thought the vid you made was of it on half load. Ive never seen an ecologic in action. I was guessing they would rinse at perhaps 3 inches above the door seal. Early Zanussi jetsystem style. Was trying to calculate the 20l difference in my head. Thinking a normal logic would use about 90l? Nick.

My quartz fills just over where the glass becomes flat. And slighty higher each rinse thereafter. My logic uses 120litres. which makes for excellent rinsing. When i got my quartz i was expecting higher rinses. sayin that the drum is fairly deep and it does rinse real well. The levels fluptuate dependand on loadsize too.

wow
never knew a logic uses that much! They really do deceive. Maybe my grans quartz did that too. I just remember being half full of water and a growling motor. Good fun. I cant believe also an Eco machine could use so much water. Ignored them for years because i didnt think they used so much water. Learn something new everyday lol. Nick

best thing about the quartz that i love is the way it throws everything against the walls from the first tumble full of water. its very dramatic and fun to see. where as the logic builds up to that, which is equally as fun cuz it tumbles real fast with water splashin allover the place! Can't beat my logics water levels. I always do full loads. and they come out nicely washed, rinsed and spun. Is it to much to ask the majority of modern machines of ample price to do that? | ||

no its not. . . .
but the more i think about it the less i want a new machine anyway. Thinkin i need to get a house with plenty of storage and have loads of logics hotpoints and quartzs in stock. The hotpoints suspension has almost gone now and although it will be kept to be fixed when i know more i am looking out for a cheap re con. There is a great shop here in Crewe that often has logics re con with 12 months guarantee for around £120. Weighing up the cost of cinema tickets a £6 a pop even if i get 12 month out of a vintage machine at 3 loads a week well how much do i save! Lol. Too late for mental calculations. Hehe. Having said that there was a grey ecologic timeline machine in not so long ago. Wonder if its still there. Plenty of Zamussi Nexus machines in there too. Nick.

well she dosnt realise how bad the Hotpoint is. she ignores it when its on usually and its sqeaking away but when it fills on super rinse the drum drops dramatically. also the drum is sitting on a diagonal slant as hopefull the pic shoes up. the stretched door seal on the right hand side of the said door seal. but if choose the new machine looks like im paying for it. put a pic of the right side of seal and left side so you can see the difference. the load inside is a cat duvet that Smudge was sick on. its been through a 95*c lol. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR pics wont upload. somebody must be able to sort me out. see my new thread if your tech minded. | ||
