I've just been looking at the Candy Group site, and found an interactive 'Time Machine' about the company.
Its really interesting but one thing I did notice, was a washing machine released by Candy around 1994, which used at UV light for a hygienic wash. Pic attached... Anyone know anything about these? |

Oh and one last thing ;)
Heres the link to the time machine. (Its probably also relevant in the Imperial section of the forum, but I'll just leave it here for now!) On the menu on the left, click "60o Interactive Time Machine" > If your specifically looking for the Softwasher, turn the dial to 1985, and then slide the bar at the top all the way to the right until you reach '94 CLICK HERE TO GO TO l86810's LINK |

Optima was not crap choice... In turkey are produced Tumble dryers only (as they were in last yrs of methyl). They say they will produce upto 1.2 million units :D |

optima was a rubbish choice the washer is 2 months old she has had endless repares done to it. and if the dryers are made in turky beko might be producing them with parts sourced from hoover |

Looks very much like a Hoover Newave & a Hitachi Servis Quartz when you see the full picture...
Interesting concept, lots of manufacturers are trying very diferent & radical ways of washing, so nothing new, even the detergent manufacturers, some of the stuff I`ve seen over the last year are interesting weird & wacky!!! But I wonder what will make it through as we use up valuable earth resources!!! |

After a recent FB post I've done some research (I know it infuriates some to refresh an old thread), so sorry, but came across this.
For any who're interested, here's the service/user manual combined. CJ CLICK HERE TO GO TO HooverZanMiele's LINK |

Too much about the whole scenario, but I believe a lot of Hoover selling to Candy was because of this... CLICK HERE TO GO TO liamy1's LINK |
