I was watching a documentary about 25 years of Watchdog when something caught my eye... I remember hearing that Hotpoint washer dryers had some fault which caused clothes to get ripped or something and loads of people sent in their ripped garments. It was quite funny and seemed to be effective...

Hi everyone! I've posted this in the modern washer thread as I think this is a bit recent. In the past, there was a 60 degree synthetic wash (White Nylon, programme 3 in ITCL), but I think the programme was made redundant during the mid 90s as it stopped appearing on washing machines (e.g...

I saw this really interesting video on the Hoover Crystaljet, which I predict was made between (1986-1991), which was designed to be shown in stores to educate customers of the benefits of owning a dishwasher. I've not heard of the Super Crystaljet Deluxe, but it looks very smart for its time...

This is probably the first time I've ever typed a model number of a particular washing machine and found NOTHING on it! I was browsing some Which reports of the past, when I saw the Neff 5047 washing machine, which looked interesting as it seems to be rather futuristic for the 70's (possibly...

There is a working Hotpoint Microtronic 9550 (door glass needs replacing) in Torquay, on eBay with less than 24hrs to go... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hotpoint-9550-Spares-or-repair-front-door-needed-/261045568461?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Kitchen_Washing_Machines_Dryers&hash=item3cc78743cd

We need a new thread, as August has left us and the previous thread was massive. Will start with a bang, my jaw hit the floor on seeing this washing machine, a Hotpoint 1200 Microprofile with the LCD not LED display (this type of machine I'd never seen before, seen three this year alone!) with...

Unfortunately not... I saw these newspaper articles which talk about the 40 year old microwave and the 45 year old tumble dryer, one look at the Panasonic microwave and it blatently seems 80's madeinstead of 60's. As for the tumble dryer, it's a Philips D153, and is also an 80's model, got to...

So I was browsing the Miele website, and their top-of-the-line W5000 supertronic is impressive, juggling steam washing and auto-dosing, but has dropped the 1800rpm spin in favour of 1600rpm, compared to its predecessor W3985WPS. Now I think only Maytag offers that sort of spin. At one point...

Whirlpool has made a new washer dryer for the UK, possibly due to the demise of Servis that inspired the previous machine. I know that this is a Smeg machine, but why does it look like a Haier?

I apologise in advance as I'm touching on that delicate topic of exploding drums, but I'm a bit concerned. A friend of mine has a servis washing machine, one of the final models before its demise in 2008. So I was looking inside the drum (the one with 4 paddles) and couldn't find a seam in the...

CLEARLY NOT! Daily Mail follows up the washing machine that boasted of a 12 minute cycle, and the novelty wears off... The lady who tried it has a lot of bother for the sake of a 12 minute wash. And the grubby stains like ketchup and mud do not shift (as it is a rapid freshen up cycle, not a...

Hi guys I saw this advert of the launch of Hotpoint Aquarius, made in 1992. However I'm curious as to how it actually worked, as the footage of the machine showed water coming out like a jet, but I don't think I've ever seen it wash like this with every Hotpoint I've seen, could anyone tell me...

Definately a week of vintage Hotpoints, especially those beautiful Microprofiles!!! To start, a WD43 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hotpoint-Ultima-1400-Washing-Machine-Tumble-Dryer-/300487779883?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Kitchen_Washing_Machines_Dryers&hash=item45f677a62b

Hi guys I was looking at an advert made in Italy on Youtube on an Indesit washing machine in the early 90's, featuring Carol Alt on Indesit appliances. The washing machine had a strange looking door, not like the standard ones, it was double glazed and looked like it had no handle, like Hoover...

I think we need a new eBay thread, as it's so late in the month, it will be July/August. Some machines of interest, we've seen some Philips series 90 action, here's a sensor dryer to match with them...

I think we need a new eBay thread for 2010. People are still using the old one and I have a few things to post despite being well into June now. Brace yourself for some rarities!!! Creda Supaspeed 1150 in good working order...

Hi guys Found this site which was selling semi-integrated washer dryers (apparently these are getting harder to find)and I found two models that I have never seen or heard of: A Moffat WDF40 semi integrated washer dryer (blatently looks like a zanussi) and a Smeg SP98P. I wonder when these...
