Hi all. I have created this thread to act as a bit of a running mate for ChesterMike's excellent twin tub thread. Obviously this thread will be catering for the world of front and top loading laundry (non Twin-tub!), including vintage tumble dryers as well. Please endeavour to keep all twin...

Hi all. Been a while since I created a thread, but this is one that I intended to do a couple of years ago. This is a follow on from the marathon picture posting session that was the Hotpoint 1st Automatic to final New Generation thread and will detail the follow on ranges, which together...

Hi all. Stumbled across this excellent website over the weekend. Its part of the National Library of Australia and contains digitised magazines and newspapers, with a search function. Obviously being in the UK, I have been searching out adverts for the many clones of machines that were sold in...

With Lamont acquiring an FL812 recently, me picking up a grey fascia machine tomorrow and most importantly, me promising Mark a thread of the brochure I bought from him a couple of years ago, here is the 1987 brochure of Zanussi offerings! Enjoy.

Hi all. Myself and Rob went on a trawl to the antiques and bric-a-brac place in the next town and came a way with a handful of mid to late 60s and early 70s House & Garden magazines. One of the 1967 editions contained a neat little report on appliances of the day, with the laundry section...

Hi all. With John in Australia restoring his 455 Automatic and posting a collection of Australian Hoover brochures recently, I promised him that I would post the UK's servicing information for the Matchbox bodyshell range (narrow bodyshell with proud door). I just hope that the pages are...

Hi all. Logging into my inbox two Saturdays ago, I was to find a very unexpected e-mail. Bit of background. Back in March 2008, I was perusing another appliance forum and stumbled across an enquiry concerning a Matchbox keymatic with a dicky timer. Not knowing the status of the machine...

Below is the instruction manual for Hotpoint's New Generation series of dishwashers - models 71340, 71350 and 71360. Apologies to James for the delay in posting the manual (was requested mid last year!)....

Been meaning to photograph this instruction manual for ages, following a request from 'sesteve' last year. Apologies for the delay Stephen - enjoy the manual....

Here you go then Gary - an update on some of your machines a month and a bit down the line. Sorry for the delay....

Noticing that there is discussion going on about the 95's and WM's in the blue forum, it has motivated me to start a Hotpoint history thread. In a similar vein to the Hoover thread that I did last year, I will try to cover all of Hotpoint's washers and dryers and washer/dryers, produced from...

Hi everyone. Have been meaning to do a thread like this for Hoover, for ages. Finally got round to it! In a similar vein to the Creda thread that I did a while back, I will try and post pics of all Hoover automatic washers and dryers, from the first Keymatic through to the last Electron...

Hi all. In the wake of Lee's storming restoration job on his 1581/03, it gives me great pleasure to unveil another restored Amethyst Hotpoint. Many will remember Seamus' thread from last year, highlighting the plight of two machines sitting in a derelict school in Plymouth. One of the...

Hi all. I recently managed to acquire a copy of what I think is the 1963 brochure for Hotpoint's offerings. It really is a superb brochure, full of information, diagrams and wonderful photographs of their machines. Have also come into possession of some wonderful photographs of Hotpoints...

Whilst my computer is signed in, I thought I would make a thread for the Creda brochure that I bought a while back. Its a lovely brochure and it was great to finally be able to read up on these highly elusive machines, along with their not very matching matching dryers :-) Post anything...

Lift the lid...

Spotted this misdescribed Hotpoint Countess earlier this evening. Looked at it and thought that something was a wee bit different with it. Only three switches, rather than the more usual four. Its the Hotpoint Model 1201 heaterless Countess, from the end run of the 'Traditional Power'...

Hi all. First off - Happy New Year and best wishes to everyone for the New Year. May it be a successful and prosperous one for everyone at Discuss o Mat. The main purpose of this thread is to let people showcase the machines that surfaced during 2010 and that they were able to offer a home...

Well, the weekend just gone saw a number of us gallivanting to different places across the UK, on a quest to collect newly purchased machines. Lee successfully acquired the Hotpoint 1851/03 (yippeeeeeee), whilst Mathew and Mike headed down to Gary's, for a mass collection, the story of which I...

Hi guys here is some more bumpff on the 3236H PLUS the tidy up story of Mathews 3022 dryer de luxe PLUS (here you go David!) the painful pictures of the other Stoke Damerel resident, in the form of the Hotpoint 1509/05 Automatic de luxe. Enjoy!
