Hi guys. Here in Great Britain we generally have the choice between Admiral(Maytag) or Whirlpool American top loaders.I did see a LG once but havent seen one since.I currently own an Admiral(Maytag) but its in the garage as when I moved there was no room in the kitchen for it.I was in costco...

Hi Steve and sorry for the late reply. The Hotpoint has a neutral drain and then spin.With regards to finding these machines in good nick, It is hard to find older models like the one in the pics.The later models are easier to come by and they do pop up on eBay.

Hi Kenmore78 It can be good having the heated machines but it does have its disavantages as you have mentioned.It can take forever to heat up if you want a really hot wash.It depends on the temp of the water coming from the tank but the 95 degree wash as you can imagine takes a long time to...

Hi Unimatic Thanks for the welcome. Yes the spinner lid is a clear perspex and the lid slides towards you into the machine rather than opening upwards.Its a great design and its great to watch the spinner getting up to speed.The agitator itself is black with 4 paddles at the base and then just...

Hi guys. I just wanted to say what a great site!I am in England and myself and partner are collectors of vintage appliances.We both collect twin tub washing machines but I also collect front loading auto washers and dryers.The picture is of the Hotpoint Supermatic 1400 and the machine dates from...
