Hi everyone,
I bought this 10 year old Oz made Hoover top loader off ebay for AU$100.00. These Hoover's were the last to be Australian designed and made before Electrolux bought them out and the Hoover name quietly disappeared from the Australian market. These Hoover's won an Australian Design award for their BOSS suspension system (Balanced Orbit Suspension System). As you'll see from the inner workings, it sits on shock absorbers and has brick counterweights to balance the weight of the motor. There's also a balance ring attached to the bowl. From what i can see, the new belt drive Whirlpool's follow a similar mechanical set up, with the agitation appearing similar. I've attached links to a couple of quick video's....a full cycle video will follow. Cheers Leon
