and for a personal favourite - similar vintage to the Electron.

A Hotpoint 95490 Electronic de luxe 1000.

My parents had the slightly lesser, earlier model 95452 (the almond version of the 95450 Electronic de luxe 800) - externally identical to the 95490 bar the colour (the almond version was 95492). My dad kept it going for 19 years, until the bearings went and it seized up.

That Hotpoint was THE ONE that started my Hotpoint Obsession!

Was my Godmothers who got 13 years out of it washing for a family of 3.
How I loved the flip switches and clear dial, always fun to pull on push off.

And the Ariel sign on the drawer, of course at 5 years old one thought it was a symbol meaning pour Ariel in here, gawd how only some 10 years later I realised that Hotpoint only reccommended Persil and that was the only detergent one shoud use in ones Hotpoint for best results,

a couple more interesting tit-bits...

a Hotpoint reversomatic - model 17760 (I think).

Matches the Microtronic X2000 of the early 1980's - even stole its buttons. Comes with a buzzer too!

a proper Liberator this time - the model 1701.

Going by the white plate at the bottom of the machine, this dryer used to sit on top of a matching/liberatoresque washing machine.

Thanks, Rob! :-)

A matching dryer for a Microtronic… Mmmmmm… :-) Or more likely: *extremely loud noise… no possibility of having the TV on un the house at the same time…* ;-)

Does anyone know how quiet these dryers are compared with, say, a Microtronic L.E. washing machine, which we had from the early 1980s to 1995? :-) I’ve not heard a Hotpoint tumble dryer before.

Slopey buttons on Hotpoints… Mmmm... :-) I remember a local friend with one! :-) It always caught me eye!

Oh, and another friend here had a Hoover Logic washer dryer. :-) Not sure if I’ve told anyone that! hehe :-) His Mum knew about my funny interest and thought it was quite comical. :-) Goodness knows how embarrassed I’d get if I reminded her and my friend here about it now! hehe :-)

Regards,

Carl :-)

its been Reversomatic central at the moment - there was a 17660 (the model prior to the 17760 shown above) which had the extra silver bits on the facia.

Have just been and checked and no one bit, although a very nice looking AEG Lavatherm from the early 1980s went for about £4.00 - a snip.

Now there is a piece of 1960s nostalgia on at the moment, although it is motorless apparrently - an old PARNALL Auto-dry

Carl - we had a later 1980s version of the original Hotpoint dryer design with the filter in the back - I actually had it for the first 3 years or so of my posting here. Nice dryer - was stuck on low heat for years but still dried fairly evenly and quickly. Only problem I had with it was that it was a haven for static electricity with the plastic drum, if you didn't use Bounce then you'd be fried! Was much better than the 2007 version we had for a couple months before we got our current dryer...

Those old Hotpoint dryers were loud to match the washers I think. When the bearings would go it would squeak as it tumbled clockwise and grind as it tumbled anti-clockwise! We used to hate it at the time, but when it's mentioned now we just look back and laugh, especially considering it dried for our family for 16 years (it died just before my 17th birthday, If i remember correctly, and mum got it just after I was born... over a decade more than the Bosch dryer...

I can vouch for the loudness of Hotpoint dryers!

My grandma had a liberator (like the 1701 shown above, but earlier - it didn't have the traditional hotpoint script but simply showed 'HOTPOINT LIBERATOR DRYER').

The roar it used to make when at work was quite considerable, as was its replacement in the early 1990's by a 4 digit 93** series machine, which wasn't any quieter.

Downstairs at the mo we have a Hotpoint TDL52 from the previous series of machines, as well as a Servis dryer. Even today, the noise made by the Hotpoint is quite considerable. I would say that the Servis makes prbably a third less noise (unscientific guess).

Still , the old Hotties made for an atmospehere.

As you say Jon, why should the washers take all the noise glory - bring on a Hotpoint Liberator/Liberatoresque dryer and you will have a pretty even competition!

Cheers
Paul

I used to have a Hotpoint 9326 Reversomatic from the early 90's.

I only had it for 4/5 months of this year, however I came to love it dearly. I was soon forced to get rid of it due to its erratic increase of squeaks and grinds. It did a good job, and reverse tumbled evenly which I did like.

I do have a video of it which I have just uploaded to youtube.

Enjoy!

P.S Made especially for you Carl as you havent seen one in action. LOL

The unsold reversomatic is available again - would match a silver facia Microtronic perfectly.

I wondered if one of these would surface - never seen one on ebay before....

Zanussi Z929T

Hi Rob,
That looks like a Z929T. It's a true Zanussi (Pre Electrolux), 1000/400RPM spin speeds, dual circuit water heater, 3 water levels and to top it all off an Induction Motor which made them exceptionally quiet machines both washing and spinning. The Z918T was identical except for 800/400RPM spin speeds and a black door.

It's a real 80's classic someone should try to save it.

David


Post# 231780 , Reply# 21   8/20/2007 at 14:28 (6,065 days old) by matchboxpaul (U.K)        

not au fait with my Zanussi's, but I am pretty sure that the machine for sale is the Z918T.

The Z929T was one of the machines with the detachable? or at any rate separate lower body panel.

The extent of my Zanussi Z-series is that the...

Z918T was a full front 800/400rpm machine, with one option button.
Z???T was a full front machine (rpm unknown - probably same as Z918T), with two option buttons - see left piccy(just can't make out the model number - could be Z919T).
Z929T was a split panel 1000/500rpm machine, with two option buttons.
Z939T was a split panel machine 1000/500rpm? machine, with three option buttons - see right piccy.

and

that's it!

Can anyone fill in any of the gaps - was there a computer/microchip controlled version in the series? Be really interested to know more about this series of machines. These were the ones that were on sale in Currys and Norweb, when I used to drag my grandma round said stores as a pre-school 'nipper'.

Cheers
Paul
p.s be great to see this matching (ignoring the door trim) pair preserved.

Zanussi Z918T

Hello Paul,
My mistake I do believe it is a Z918T and it was the Z929T had the black door. Also I'm thinking of Candy machines with 1000/400RPM spin speeds the Z929T was indeed 1000/500RPM. 1000RPM Zanussi models from that series used an Induction Motor with an integral gearbox and centrifugal clutch, the 800RPM models used a more basic three speed Induction Motor without gearbox or clutch. I don't recall any Computer controlled models in the black fascia series but there was a Computer controlled model in the grey fascia series that followed.
The Candy models with the 1000/400RPM spin speeds used a two speed Induction Motor with a variable pulley system.
It was such disappointment for me when I first heard an Electrolux Zanussi running, Electrolux introduced Universal Motors (Carbon Brush) to the Zanussi range making them much noisier less reliable machines.

There was two computer control models, i came across them while looking for my flats washing machine. They are: ZE1001iS and the ZE2002iS. I would love to have one of these machines! There is also a matching dishwasher the ZE1001iS.

I don't really know much about them all but i know they have black fascias. I have never came across a tumble dryer yet though. It seems strange that they wouldn't have one, i guess they haven't put the manual up online yet.

I'll post a link to the ZE2002iS machine.

Cheers for posting that link David.

Never ever new such a machine existed - semi integrated too.

Does anyone know more of this machine and, even better, possess a piccy of the machine (the only problem with black facias is they don't show up well in black and white pdf files!).

Paul
(should have started a Zanussi thread!)

No problem!

Since hopefully someone will post a picture of them! Maybe also answer my question about the tumble dryer. I saw that there is a sensor drying model, but its not electonic nor semi intergrated. I'll post the link below

This service force site is great, you get manuals for 1980s Bendix and pre Zanussi, Electrolux washing machines.
