Great news on the T5044, Seamus! Certainly one of the rarer of the HMDL's and in the very fetching 'Smoother Hoover' colour scheme. Fingers crossed that with a bit of fettling, a new spin belt and fill hose you will have a good'un. Paul

Hey Paul
Thanks :) we have been after a Hoovermatic for ages and couldn't believe it when this came into the BHF where Matt does function testing. I'm told that this is indeed a pretty rare model as it was only made for about a year in 81/82. If I had to pick my favourite Hoovermatic it would probably be the T5004, simply because my Uncle Dave had one and I used to love helping Mum when we visited hin in Devon during the Summer Holidays. However as this matches Kelly I'm not complaining lol. The Blue Spot belt is ordered and we have a NOS fill hose for a T5004 etc which shall have the nipple from the old one transplanted onto it. Also Matt nabbed a good used pump from Ebay for £4.20 plus post so we have a spare :). Cheers Seamus | ||

Hi Alan,
I was never a particular fan of Twin Tubs either. I knew a fair few of them around, but at the time I didn't like them much as I couldn't see what was going on inside - I was too small :(. I have used them since and they are great fun and wash well, but I couldn't imagine using one on a daily basis. They were brilliant for the time, though. Automatic's were incredibly expensive and twin tubs were far more affordable. My Mum remembers my Grandma getting her first twin tub and the time and effort it saved her from previously washing everything by hand for 6 children - Grandma thought all her birthdays had come at once lol. As fun as they are, Hoover's "boil wash action" did tend to get things tangled quite a lot. The Hotpoint and Servis twin tubs with the vertical agitator was better. Chris | ||
