Lol. I don't think it would go down to well stacking washing machines on top of one another in my Kitchen lol. The other half would go spare.At least with 1 i can put a sheet over it and make it look like part of the furniture. lol

Ha. Yea well you gotta have some "items" to wash haven't you lol. Yea i found with really soft jeans adding a few other things like pants or socks or t shirts then it works fine. But used it with a solid pair of jeans and it REALLY didn't get on well lol

Wow. Your doing well all that room to hold all them lol. Ive gotta be careful or my other half would hit the roof if i start bringing too many back. never mind will have to see what i can sneak in lol.

Well the Hoovermatic is going really well at the moment. Now I've sussed the amount of clothes to put in works really well. Only thing it doesn't seem to like are Jeans. especially very tough ones. Anyone got tips for them? Still can't get over how quick u can do a wash in it. Did a load of bath...

Hey Nice pic. Wow That hoovermatic twin tub looks NICE! id love one like that eventually and of course the Hotpoint Empress. I was brought up with Hotpoint Twintubs so believe it or not thats not high on my list as we had 2 when i was a kid to my teens then I had one in my teens too. Si

MMMMMM not sure. Can have a look at mine as soon as I've finished my wash. 4 Loads done. put some shirts in the Hotpoint front loader I've got WF165p new type and they are still washing when I've almost finished lol What machines do u have then is it only the hoover?

Have you tried replacing the belt on it? or just tightening the old one? Yea the Empress is an impressive looking machine. only lately started to resurrect my interest in these machines Si

Hi James, Yes the Hoovermatic is great I've got it on in the background at the moment. I messaged the seller on ebay about the Empress when it was for sale and they said they had already been sold were just leaving it on ebay in case they didn't turn up to collect. So I asked them to message me...

Hi there. Does anyone here in the Uk have a Hotpoint Empress washing machine for sale? or know of one preferably in Very good or restored condition? Had an itching to get one for awhile now. but now I've got my Hoovermatic i think i should indulge. ;-p Si

Wow. Great restoration. We had a 15790 from new when i was younger did about 16 years solid service with no real probe until the end when the gearbox got noisy. Then we had a new one think it was a 96702 and that was RUBISH! had a new motor and gearbox within the first 2 years. 3 pumps within...

Hi Aquarius24 Yea yours looks to be in great condition too., Don't you just hate these mixer taps for the Twin tub pipes lol. Found if i screw the end off my mixer then the pipe fit perfect.Well as long as i don't give to much pressure or it spurts out over the windows lol. Well I'm having a...

Hey Chestermike. IT WAS YOU! your video was the one that made me decided i wanted this style Hoovermatic as my first lol. Yes already been looking around this place to see how many more i could get in hehehehe . Si

Hi Si. Thanks for the welcome (and hoovermatic tip) Yes it was a choice to go for the hoovermatic. I was brought up with the hotpoint twin tub but when i was 14 was given a 1961 Hoovermatic and had it in the outhouse for a few years washing blankets etc. Always found it more exciting and i think...

Hey Tom. ooh not far from the Hoover plant eh? Well can u get down there and ask them to make these machines again lol. Yea the Other half got home last night and was like WTF but once he saw it was a hoovermatic he said " oh i like that i used to use them in school" Am i winning ;-p so far...

Hi Tom. Thanks for the welcome. Where in Wales are you from then? From Haverfordwest origionaly here. Si

Hey Paul What servicing should I do to the machine then? Any bearings to oil or belts to tighten or do the belts have self tentioners? Btw the strip of metal that covers the join between the tub and spinner with the rinse hole in needs re-gluing. Apart from that it goes well. Si

Hi Paul. Hey thanks very much for the manual print up.Always good to read. And YES I used the Auto rinse. Worked Very well actually. Couldnt belive how fast i could wash and rinse a load! Have my new Hotpoint front loader on at the mo.Started a wash at 9.20 tonight. and its still on the main wash!

Hi guys. Yes Love the old Hoovermatic on ebay would buy it but its quite a long way from me. Much as id love it though.

Hi Jon. Well Fairy in hand or not i don't think you look like one mr ;-p Been playing with my machine here for a fair while. just reassembled all top section after stripping. scrubbing clean and checking every things in order.
