Sorry.....meant to say havent posted for a while.

Hi I did sign up on here a while ago, but haven't posted. I must say that I do look on the site often, having a soft spot for older machines. I am going off the Hoover topic here, but yesterday, I was trawling through Rightmove looking at houses for sale in Leeds, for no reason...

A friend parents had one of these when we were kids, late 80's early 90's. Her Mum always used to cram it full, she was one of those who washes everything together, lights, darks, towels, you name it, it all went in lol.. If I remember rightly, she used to mostly use the quick wash programme...

Nice machine I'm sure it's the same as the ones that were in all the houses on "Brookside" back in the day. Jon

We had the L8, I always remember the yellow button on the facia. Mum still says it was the best washing machine she's ever had.

Yeah its normal... I used to have one. Jon

LOL!! Darren, trust me, if theres a square door bendix washer out there, its defo mine hehe! Jon

For a second I thought this was a washer and I nearly fell off my chair,

Lol... they wouldnt last very long if that machine was spinning!!! It was just being used as a table, family party and all that.... Steve, I would try and get hold of that if you can! Jon

Hi Darren, It doesnt seem to take so long to spin, bear in mind there is no countdown timer on mine so im not 100% sure exactly how long it takes... I also use the Time Saver option nearly all the time so that may take time off the spin cycle. I have just found a picture of my Nan's 9901...
