Dispenser open with programme guide at the front...Sorry its blurry. Some of the videos i've made are better quality...but unfortunately not long after the wash started my camara battery said it didn't want to play it wanted to charge in its cradle...so i made some short ones with my mobile...better ones will be up tomorrow.

Hi paul! Hmmm yes the green craze...well i do miss the 1990s:P so i dont mind having this green piece of history:P lol. I never did like those all green servis's all too much....Didnt they do with a gold door? That looked borderline sickening lol. I'm very pleased. and surprized how very short amount of time from me posting saying i wouldn't mind a british racing green one ,that i found one! lol! Schpookeh! No sucess in flogging them....though the i moved the logic around n daylight happened to catch it and it stared at me...n i was like..."Ooooh....i dont really wanna get rid of you..." N it came to me after the auction...i'm not really gettin rid of them because i dont want them, but because of overcrowding...the dead hotpoint is all i want rid of...i came up with the idea of storing them covered in the corner with a few light weight things on top...so it looks like their not taking up space and will be allowed to stay lol. Gah...it was both amazingly fun and horrible sitting in my garage watching the newwave..i'm dyin from a throat infectin so i was shivverin like a ****in dog n smiling at the same time....very bizarre lol!

Also a fan of the fourth spin burst on the rinse spins when it goes from distrbution speed straight upto top speed within a couple of secs and then just cuts out and starts filling.. Such an awesome machine.. |

And heres the final spin i caught it just as it shifted from 800 to 1400rpm its fantastic. Sorry for the decrease in quality it wasn't quite dark enough to put the light on, but not quite light enough to light the garage lol! Enjoy Darren CLICK HERE TO GO TO newwave1's LINK |

I'll see if i can get that filmed for you tommorrow steve when i do some towels! Yea i was smiling a fair bit:P how cud u tell:P I love how similar it is to the logic, but also very different at the same time. I had a daft little thought earlier...Had they not been bought out, i thought what if they continued the newwaves? Like they kept the electrons a fair while. Can you imagine the "new wave plus 6, 7,8 & maybe even 9" Models! That would be something to see. I can but dream. Darren |

I believe from memory steve the plus 5 was the addition of 5kg load as the previous ones were 4.5kg. I always thought that was odd how the logic and ecologics before them were 5kg and then they went back to 4.5kg with the newwaves and classicas. Bizzare. I actually am convinced that the newwave outperforms loads of current models. I mean tell me a machine that uses gravitation force to penetrate fabric and remove stains? It was rated A for wash performance! I have my brochure infront of me. For those who don't know and those who just want to refresh their memory the eco wash system it uses consists of 7 key things; 1. The Eco valve-water flows into the machine, shutting off the valve, only then does the detergent pass into the machine. Which is how they managed to make it have 0 detergent loss. 2.The front fill. (I've included a pic of this) The water only flows in from the fill flume spraying the load with water and detergent. I find this actually creates even absortion. 3. mimimum tub/drum gap. Extremely narrow gap between the tub and the wash drum allowed the machine to use such a low amount of water and save on detergent. 4. The sensor spray system. Basically soak and shower system. holes in the paddles shower the load as it tumbles. Really cool turqoise paddles i may add:p 5. The Enzyme plateau- The heating cycle is held at 40degrees for 8minutes to activate the enzymes in biological detergent. 6. Spin washing- The washing is spun at slow speed (400rpm) For a short time during four different programme cycles. I counted it today on a 40degree cotton cycle it span about 5 or 6 times in the wash! 7. Self adjusting water levels- Machine automatically adjusts water required dependent on the load conditions encountered. Pretty technical stuff even today. I've been using Ariel bio, Ariel with febreze liquitabs, Ariel colour And lenor summer breeze in my loads that i've done in it. All with outstanding results. It rinses brilliantly to say it uses 65litres of water. Darren |

Wooow Darren. I bet your pleased lol Is your New 'New Wave Plus5' much different than your 'New Wave' you had before? Steve: I think those features were already on the newwave ranges before that. I've got a leaflet on the 'New Wave Plus' saying the machines had an 'Eco Wash System Plus' consisting of six features: 1/ Eco ball valve 2/ Front fill 3/ Minimal tub/drum gap 4/ Sensorspray system (not as in jetsystem, just the drum scoops up the water and sprays the load as the drum goes round) 5/ Enzyme Plateau 6/ Spin Burst .. all those features may have even been on the first 'New Wave's |

Hmmm yea my newwave certainly makes my brothers bosch look cheap. I'm not slating bosch. not at all i like his bosch. but it certainly seems basic in comparrision. As does my AEG in the house! lol! I will put some good quality pics of a towels/sheets load, depending which i feel the need to do at the time. And they'll be up tomorrow!:D The stupidily large colours load i did only did short spin bursts because the load was quite heavy. In hindsight i thought i should've split it into 2 loads. but excitment impared my thought lol. Darren |

Thanks for that 18610 . That's what I was thinking of. Both My 1500 and my mums still running 1400 were the Plus 5 machines. |

Hey l86810! It is different in that this one actually works properly!!:D Aside from using slightly less water, it is virtually the same. Except it has the 5kg load,is green! and spins at 1400rpm. Which i'm loving. I think it spins as good if not better than my AEG! I think it spins for a good 3 or 4minutes at 800 (i believe this gets the bulk of the water out) and then 2minutes at 1400! I do like the colour even if it does remind me of the 90s craze. Sheesh i remember my mother getting a green kettle and toaster and the *cringes* Diplomat semi integral dishwasher we had, had a british racing green control panel. Memorys. I remember seeing these machines new and being absalutely desperate to own one! Ever since i saw the first models! I really wanted the silver one too..only slightly more than the green one:D But yes. Now that i have one that spins at its full potential i'm extremely happy. I did my jeans load with a ariel with febreze liquitab and stuck the extra rinse button on. I sat through the rinses and saw that it was clear by the 2nd after it had done its "dynamic spin rinsing" bursts. I was able to do what myself and jon (lavamat_jon)Call a "2rinse wonder" with the non bio liquitabs, but i was surprized the bio ones rinsed out as well! This got me thinking, maybe now detergent manufacturers are starting to forumlate things with low level rinsing in mind? Darren |

Looks like the New Wave Plus 5 gained the extra 7th feature! I remember seeing one of the first models in a Great Universal catalogue, and in the desciption it said 'Unique Spin Burst' and I always wanted one lol, Unfortunatly my Philips didn't beak down until the Six range came out.. which is about the equivilent on an Indes*it Adam |

Yea the plus 5's gained the self adjusting water levels! What philips did you have l86810 :o! Oh dear. Wasnt impressed with the six? My ex g.f had a hoover six 1600 whisper. when i moved in their for a few months n it was actually quiet good. it was real quiet! I had to buy a replacement when her ex wanted it back lol. So i thought i'd buy the Comet equivlent to a nextra 7.5kg 1400 which was called a softwave maxi! it too was okay, i don't know if its dead or owt now as i moved on. It was by no means a newwave. :p Darren |

I had a new wave plus leaflet years ago..on one side it had a pic of the white model and on the other it had the graphite 1500 model. I really liked that leaflet n it got "lost" in a house move! grr! I used to write to hoover all the time asking about features on the newwave. They always used to reply!! Darren |

Hi Carl! Awh! I'm glad you liked the videos! Well you may've missed out in 94/95 but find sum pleasure in the fact you get to see one in 2007 even if it is in video form:-) Thank you to everyone who's posted so far. I've gotten the button temporarily fixed while i order a new power button unit as it won't say in. So i've done the ole' maskin tape job to keep it secure and i just turn it off at the mains. That works for now, though admittedly its abit of an eyesore! Currently doing a fullload of towels with a febreze liquitab. All is well so far and were on the 3rd rinse. I selected extra rinse but it didn't really need it as the 2nd rinse was clear! It was just precautionary, as i'm extremely particular when it comes to rinsing. Hope everyones enjoying whats left of the weekend before monday arrives. Darren |
