Thought I should share this site! Navigation is a pain, but if you can't find the parts you need on there, I reckon it's worth phoning them. I was able to order (and receive!) several obsolete Hoover vacuum parts, but there are many washer parts too. A quick search turned up bits for the Bendix...

Spotted this when browsing... isn't it a Zanussi similar to the ones Hotpoint imported and re-badged? http://cgi.ebay.de/Waschmaschine-Hoover-Automatik-50-/120578344134?cmd=ViewItem&pt=DE_Elektronik_Computer_Haushaltsger%C3%A4te_Waschmaschinen_Trockner&hash=item1c130784c6#ht_500wt_1154

I was flicking through an urban exploration forum and found this page... These machines have apparently been abandoned in the factory - among other stuff there seems to be a coppertone 3301C and a widebody automatic! The photos are only a couple of days old. Thought I should mention this in...

I have always wished Hoover had sold a compact tumble dryer in the UK, but didn't think they had, till Paul pointed out an Ebay item that was pretty close to me...

This is all Seamus' fault, hehehe! He pointed out this very interesting machine on Ebay, it was near to me so I thought I'd bid a quid - half hoping someone else would buy it, but desparately not wanting it to be landfilled. As it happens, I was the only bidder... The old owners bought it at...

I found these on an ad compedium, and have edited them out separately. With Drive, what do they mean by 'Solvent Detergent'? Was it just a standard Bio, or did it contain dodgy ingredients? I notice it is still made for other markets, but hasn't been seen in the UK for many years. I remember...

Anyone recognise this automatic, or know what it is? The screencaps are taken from a 1971 British film, 'On The Buses', and it looks like quite a simple machine - no sign of a detergent drawer, unless it's on top.

Well, thanks to some new bits (thanks Seamus!), I got my Hoover wringer washer going properly today. The new pump impeller was for later TTs and was too big, but after 5 minutes with a Stanley knife it fitted and worked perfectly... The machine now runs fine, and was great fun to use - followed...

I've now added a second machine to my collection, and it's rather more basic than the HMDL! It's a May 1976 W7002 Power wringer model - a very rare machine! This model was seemingly introduced in early 1975, and it seems to have been the only 'new' wringer machine that complied with the then...

There's one of the last Hoover wringer washers on Ebay at the moment - a W7002. It's different from earlier machines in that the wringer doesn't roll until you press down the pedal at the front - I think this was due to the same UK safety regulations that meant spin dryers had to have an...

Inspired by the work of MickeyD and NickUK, I made a short video of my HMDL the other day, capturing the whole wash cycle and then adding a narration of sorts. Hope it brings back fond memories for those that previously owned a Hoovermatic (and maybe it'll even help encourage you to get...

I spent this evening working through a pile of laundry with my HMDL and its spanking new hoses to see how it performed. There is a very slight leak from under the machine, but it has improved since its inaugural run yesterday - I have been told that hot water helps the pump reseal if it has been...

I don't post on here much because I don't have a vintage washer - at least I didn't until last month. I got myself a Hoovermatic Deluxe - one that I'd wanted for years, as it has the best combination of automatic rinse and no interlock on the spinner. My first wash went fine with it, but the...

Hi all, Hope someone can help me - I've just got my first Hoover twin tub, but when I try to fill the washtub with the valve on 'wash/spin', the water gets through the valve on the pump and ends up filling both tubs! I've ordered a spare valve for it, but can't figure out how to get the top of...

Do any UK member know if it's still sold over here? I went to Tesco to buy some powder for my new machine yesterday, and they only had Daz and their own brand stuff. Googling it doesn't turn up anything either. Don't tell me it has been discontinued! Si

Thought I should say hello formally, after posting a couple of bits! I'm another UK collector, mainly specialising in Hoover vacuums & small appliances. I know some of you folks know me already! My collection isn't as impressive as other folks' on this site, but I've put the URL below. I've...

Item number 330013421380 - it's a 1060 that has never even been assembled. I suspect the price of that is going to go through the roof! Si

Hello fellas, I'm a bit of a newbie here, but hope someone here can give me a bit of advice regarding My Hoover U6003 (which is pretty rare over here, by the way). Basically, it only drives backwards. I've shone a torch underneath, and both clutch wheels do engage and turn, but the forward...
