Yes, but at least they tried to make it unique...
The timed softener dispenser and detergent dispenser, self cleaning lint filter, Handwash agitator, soak timer & other options set this apart from it's GE cousins. It may have been a knock-off, but what a grand looking machine. I don't know if I would kick it out of my bed, or laundry room that is...

Looking closely at the photo in the lower right corner, the traditional Hotpoint solid tub washer is shown. Everything describing the washer in the ad says "NEW".
I wonder what the extra recirculation nozzle and little black rubber hose was involved with as shown in the lint filter pic?
Did it somehow interact with the lid mounted detergent dispenser??

The control panel looks a bit Hotpoint based.........

As Lisa of "Green Acres" might say" I just ad
Look at the way the ring filter mimics the '49 GE and the fact that it probably self-cleans the same way. Am I mistaken in thinking that Hotpoint was made for years by GE, the same way that Whirlpool makes Kenmore.
As with the recent POD Kelvinator, have any of our clubbers seen these gorgeous beauts in the flesh, I mean, metal?
Pictures like this, of a machine with huge and plentiful controls, mesmerized me as a child. I would sit and stare lost in the wonderings and wanderings of Washer Heaven, just like all of youuuuuusssssss.

never seen one...
in person, but I did see this pair pop up for free in Portland a while back. I didn't get to them in time though or I would have saved them. They looked nice.

Funny how this model resembles to the Canadian Eaton brand Viking and The Hudson Bay brand – Beaumark and Baycrest. All the features listed are standards for these brands...self cleaning filter, hand wash agitator, rapid wash...

BINGO, Bob
As soon as you sad "Baycrest" I remembered. I have seen these, In PENNY"S way back when, labeled "Pencrest"-- the exact same thing.
Jon, next time let's do a roadie and go get them. What fun they must be!
Penny's was Sears rival; don't know if they're still around.

I had this exact model and color at one time and sold it to a friend. Actually I thought GE/Hotpoint did a pretty good job at least early on in their models, trying to give them specific production identification. The panel design and graphics were completely different from GE's washer, and the Hotpoint features such as flat opening lid, top filter ring, double agitator, etc were unique. The latter GE's and Hotpoints were almost clones........ I think this is a stunning model of Hotpoint.......I wish now I would have kept it!

Hi Jimmy ! Wish you would have kept it too
What was it like? Did it flush the filter ring after the rinse? Did the spray rinse and the fills shower down from and through the ring.? This is a dream machine. I hope we can get one back in the club. So they started the tator within the tator before Westinghouse copied it?

Really Cool machines, a few more dials on the dash it could launch the space shuttle.
I love the Picture of the Day feature. I consider it bad form to go into the site without first viewing this first.

Hotpoint
This was the first Hotpoint made by GE. We had the next series Hotpoint with the back opening lid. Real nice machine. Ours was also the top line model. I liked it better than the GE because it didn't have the filter pan or mini basket to get in the way. The filter ring and hand wash adjator was better in my openion.

I have only positive memories of this washer, I thought it was just great. I dont know who started with the piggy back style agitator first, but I always thought Hotpoints was a better design. This model could be set for a delayed wash after an initial soak cycle. The dispenser in the lid was kind of clunky but actually worked perfect, and was easy to use. It did indeed spray flush the filter ring when spinning, which was how it was suppose to clean itself. What you see in the photos of the POD is NOT the actual filter spout, but a multi action fill flume, with the small black dispenser hose routing to it, and if you look close the filter inlet is in the lower corner of the picture, in the shape of a T, which is the Hotpoint design, instead of the open trough that GE used........... Damn I wish I would have saved this washer! But then again, it was about 20yrs ago that I had it. Hindsight, so they say.........

FilterFlo - can you tell me more about the Hotpoint straight vane agitator.
WONDERFUL Machine. I really LOVE this Hotpoint washer. This is my favourite 1970s machine!!.

The Hotpoint srt8 vane in the POD was the dual agitator with the smaller handwash agitator inside of it. You fliped the two tabs at the top of the big agitator and pulled up, revealing the smaller handwash agitator. It was a pretty good system and when coupled with slow agitation could actually provide a very gentle wash action. Sometimes they would get stuck together if not used for a while and lint would accumulate between the two. The srt8 vane was similar in agitation to the srt8 vaned GE. They had good wash action, but the turn over was not quite as good as the curved vanes with a big big load or with heavy items. Its suprising there are not more of these around. I still see them from time to time, I will have to pick one up next time Im at the yard in PA.

BUT!!!!!
What I wanted to know was did the Hotpoint "Lady Executive" had a lighted console????
From the looks of the picture, it seems so that it did. But I cannot say that for sure.
So then, did it have a lighted console???

Alas, no. There was no lighted console on this model. I dont think I have ever seen a Hotpoint of the GE design that ever had a lighted console. The earlier pure Hotpoint's did, on several models. Sure would have made it an "out of this world" machine if this POD model did have a light!
