Hi guys Just wondered if you could tell me what the difference between the hotpoint supermatic deluxe (e.g. 9414) and plus (9404) models is? Do they both have same spin speed and autorinse etc.? Thanks Pete | ||

Supermatics
Morning Pete The difference with these machines is the "AutoRinse" feature, the 9414 has it the autorinse and has the hose connector on the back, I have seen 9404`s modified to have the circle rinse spray lid and the connector on the back for manual rinsing though!!! The Hotpoint rinse system is a slower even spray around the clothes, I prefer the Hoover for speed, but its a very effective system, just slower!!! Did you get the hoover??, Mike | ||

Hoover Tangles
Best way to avoid items becoming tangled during Hoover TT washing is to follow some basic steps. These are outlined in the owner's manual and the service/repair manual: 1 - Do not over load the wash tub. Only wash the amount of items that will turn over easily. You want to see the wash water whipping about. 2- Do not exceed the longest wash cycle time (approx 4 minutes). Long cycles can and will often lead to a tangles. Though IMHO have found if one has the proper amount of items in the tub, and get to the timer before it shuts the machine off, you can go one more cycle (for a total of 8 minutes), without too much problems. Again, key is to make sure the wash water and items are moving freely round and round. If thngs slow down and or the wash action stops..... Thing about using a Hoover or any twin-tub, there really isn't a need to overload the unit. If one has a large volume of washing to get on with, just keep things moving between the wash and rinse/spinner tubs. That is what the unit was designed to do. Many persons get stuck thinking along an "automatic" type of washing, leaving thing too long in the wash and or over loading the wash tub in the hopes of getting more done faster. Trouble with the later is even if you did get a vast amount of items clean in the wash tub, the spinner won't handle it, or not without cramming and packing things down so tightly, you'll end up with very harshly creased laundry. Remember for the spin rinse to work as designed, water must be able to reach down into the bottom of the basket and give all fibers a good soaking. Too much laundry in the spin basket not only makes this difficult, but also will strain the motor as the unit tries to cope with an overly heavy weight. L. | ||

There are two schools of thought to loading a Hoover TT. Some say to pile the laundry into the wash water, start the machine and let things go from there. Others, and must admit am in this category, start the washer and place items in one by one, until wash action seems to start slowing down. To me it is easier to do things this way, than to mess about trying to take items out of the wash tub in order to remedy any over loading problem. | ||

Phosphate High Sudsing Detergent
Yes, that will do it! *LOL* Great stuff. Just make sure you are not causing suds lock in the spin tub. Your owner's manual should tell you the tell tale signs. Find cannot use most American liquid detergents in my Hoover, as they create too much froth in the spin basket. Well that and they are very hard to rinse out. | ||

Soap Sudz!!!
What powders do you use in the twinnies??, I switch between Persil for a boil wash and Daz, occasionally will I use Ariel automatic for quicker rinsing... To cut down the foaming on the Hoover TT I spray some water in the spin can before placing in the clothes, sometimes a drop of conditioner as well just to cut the sudz, although not if using sudz return!!! The beauty of these machines is that you are in control and can adapt to your ways of using it, no one right way as long as the clothes are clean & rinsed!!! Just doing a Persil boil wash!!!
