Aferim!
My Aunt Eva had one just like that in coppertone that she used for years in her old NYC apartment. Always loved that little spin dryer with the rubber tamper. Hoover made some great and classy stuff before it was assimilated into the Borg. There was a company, like Maytag, whose emblem you could trust. I still use a vintage Hoover Decade upright as my daily driver.

Ohhh Yessss!!!
Hello Eric, welcome to the "Hoover SplashMatic" club..I `m sure you will have loads of fun using these machines, parts are getting scarce even over here but belts n hoses are good to go, even pumps,(which are pattern, but i`ve never had a problem) which seemed to have a high failure rate with yourselves, due to hard water perhaps?? email me your address and I`ll send what you need!!! I`ve used a few different US machine at the last couple of wash/vac conventions, the one thing we didnt have was COLOUR!!! and Hoover certainly wernt afraid of that!! Heres our model 3314 that is similar to yours!!a link to some vids as well, enjoy, Mike CLICK HERE TO GO TO chestermikeuk's LINK

Tubs!!!
Morning Jon, the early UK and US machines had the dull metal aluminium tubs, then in the seventies the US switched to the polyplastic tubs which of course gave lots on very interesting "Colour Combinations" of which the UK never had, I just love those Coppertones, Harvest Golds & Advocados!!! The other reason we didnt have the plastic tubs was because of the 3kw Heaters that the UK models had...famous for the "Hoover Boiling Water Action" , nothing like a heater switched on to send that swirl of steamy mist up into the laundry room...great fascials as well!!! What I love about them is all that "Splashdrama" the speed that spinner pump shoots the water out is FAB, even in a deep laundry sink it sprays everywhere!!! Cheers, Mike

You love our colors, but how we love your stainless steel--j
And look how nice your black hose is, while we have nasty alien gray. Mikey, Mikey , Mikey--Little wonder Hoover gets such "Splashdrama." That vacuum motor spins at 2000 something rpm's, yes? YOu've seen the blender blade impeller, of course; at least that's what's in mine--have had it all apart. Keep thinking that if the Hoove's and Uni's had huge angel wing impellers like the Easy's and other, the water would be drained in seconds, and the machines would surely lift off. How nice to see you again. Wish we could do Canton all over again. You have the most beautiful, desirable Hoovers I've ever seen. I'd trade all the colored plastic in the States for a stainless steel in the UK. Wish my pix did you justice--sorry for the grainy ;'D

MickeyD
That's the first time I've seen a picture of you! Didn't know you were an Abercrombie kid!?! hehe How are you buddy? One question for you guys. I noticed on one of these machines it says to press clothes down firmly into the spin drum and then place the retainer over them. Where's this retainer? Perhaps a video??? :-) Jon | ||

HI Big Bad Jon, ;'D
I call it the floppy disk, and I NEVER use it, and so far nothing has "jumped tubs." If there are socks or wash cloths in the load, just stuff 'em under heavier items. BUT, I'm asking Chestermike if they are needed for better rinsing, to conduct the currents, etc. If they are irrelevant for rinsing, my floppy disk is yours, or anyone else's who wants it. I'll take a pic for the next roll. The disc looks like the skeleton of a flying saucer. Regarding the Amber' kid: Funny you should notice. Greg said the same thing in Canton. The truth: would never pay 50 bucks for a T-shirt, but I found it on the beach, for which I actually have a policy. When I find something of value down there, I leave just where it is for a few days, then ask the few regulars if they know who left it, then re-cycle it to me. Have a good half dozen cool things of value found on the beach. Miss you and love you. | ||
