Hi Guys, Well, the Hoover 565 finally made it back to my folks place last week. Not too bad for a AU$26.00 purchase from Ebay!! (transport of course cost a lot more)This machine is based on a US Blackstone design. This model is one down from the TOL 585. It has a Heater and automatic rinse conditioner dispenser (which i forgot to get a pic of) Does it work? Yes....but haven't had a chance to put it through a full cycle yet. Enjoy! Cheers Leon

Hoover 585
Hey Ash, Do you want to hear a funny story? I was looking through a 1974 Women's Weekly and noticed the "House of the Week". The owners...who built the home in Brisbane, showed the laundry and guess what was in there? A TOL Hoover 585!! They named the owners of the house and i thought: "what if they are still there?"....so i checked the white pages and they are still listed and they would be close to 80 yrs old. I sent them a photocopy of the article and a letter and i got a call from the owner 2 days later, but UNfortunately, they got rid of the 585 10 years ago!! Never mind, but at least he rang me as you never know what people have lurking in their garages etc. Cheers Leon | ||

Is this the same model in POD??
Hey Bob, Yes, this is the same model that Robert puts up in POD. The TOL 585 is a Fully programmed all push button model with rapid advance timer and automatic rinse and bleach dispensers that sit atop the control panel. The 585 still has the same control markings as the 565, but the indicator is "built in" (as best as i can put it) I'll post a pic if i can find a decent one. Cheers Leon | ||

I've never seen 1 like this in the US. I guess they just made it for Australia? | ||

I like it's bright graphics and clear controls, makes one happier to do the laundry and there is a definite co relation between how one looks and how one feels. Brillant! | ||

Hello leon that is a very nice machine wish we had it in the states,that control panel is beautiful it really makes you want to wash pretty BLUE & WHITE. Like Bob said this washer is posted on POD now and then on A.W. And u can't see the inside so thinks for posting. I had no clue that blackstone was apart of the design very interesting, I was wondering Leon how hot do's the heater heat the water ? And thanks again. Darren k
