Hi all I'm new as a member, but I have been on this site for a while. I remember reading a thread on Hotpoint about a rare washer dryer which was Hotpoint's first ever one, the 9900 with a silver door and New Generation controls.

Guess what? There is one on eBay. But time is running out!!!

Welcome to the site

Hi Ultimafan

Welcome to the site. I remember someone I knew having this machine in 1989. Great to see it again, thanks for posting. I didn't remember the button layout.

The machine is in Huddersfield and the auction runs out soon so hopefully someone in the area will get it.

This machine has me pulling my hair out!

The rather restrictive 'pick up withing two days of auction end' is VERY difficult to accommodate indeed.

I have been trying to get my head round this one for the last few days. Would mean a 3 hour trip, there and back, straight after work, assuming that it would be a convenient time for the seller and that he/she would be able to help lift the machine into my car (will weight a ton).

I really dont know what to do with this one.

hmm...

I've never seen one of these things on a drying cycle. My auntie had one of the later models of this type of washer dryer, the 9924/34, when we lived with her.

I know from the other thread that the 9900 was really rare for two reasons:

1. It was only available for six months in 1986. It was one of the last New Generation models which had a four digit model no. instead of five, it was with the 9570 and 9550.

2. It was a washer dryer. It must have been like £1000 when it was on sale, I can't imagine people buying it.

Below is the link to the thread which talked about the 9900.
Hope someone buys this machine :)

Yep...

Introduced right at the end of the New Generation and replaced by the 9901 of the Next Generation, after a very short run.

I have asked some more questions of the seller. his/her responses will dictate whether I go for it or not.

Hi Ultimafan! My parents had a 9934 for 5 years before it broke down. Did you ever see the machine on a spin cycle? I remember it done a burst, tumbled twice then distributed, then span for longer. Never seen any other Hotpoint do this nor has anyone heard of one doing so! Probably because of the price of it. No idea why the folks didn't just get separate units!

Welcome to the site!

hi dubstar85!

No, even if I did, it would be a blur as it would have been like 16 years ago or something.

I can't remember whether it was a 9934 or 24, the spin cycle you mentioned, was it designed for balancing purposes? I thought spin balancing came around ten years ago!
 
The condition of the 9900

I'm surprised at how good the condition the W/D is. The door button is intact, the panel has no cracks, just a bit of dust. I think the plastic on the worktop it broken a bit, but it looks good.

The washing dial is different as I think it belongs to washer dryers after 1992, as the symbols have the temperature written on it, as opposed to programme numbers which were on all the Hotpoints made before this date.
 
Oooh this is the seller that is selling the Zanussi i'm bidding on,..maybe i'll see it wen i fetch the zanussi lol. These are lovely. If only i had more cash!!!!

Good Luck with the Zanny, Darren.

Its irritating as I cant, practically speaking, deal with this must collect within two days of auction end lark. A totally unrealistic request, as far as I am concerned, for something so big and forcing collection during the midweek.

All the more irritating as me and Rob are just coming to the end of a week on annual leave. had it been last week there would not have been an issue.

Gutted.
Paul
 
Sorry to hear that Paul :(

I can't believe that the seller is trying to be so tight, with less than five hours to go and no biddint activity, they'd be lucky if you bid on the WD, they should allow you to collect at a time mutually suitable. Are you sure they wouldn't consider a weekend? Or next weekend?

Someone has got to get this, as it is truly rare and I don't think we'll see one on eBay for a long time. There are plenty of 9901s but this is the first ever 9900 I've seen on eBay.
 
2 hours to go

And not a bid! Wow, the seller really shot themselves in the foot with their 2 day policy.
 
Messge back from seller is that the machine MUST be gone in two days.
Likewise I would have thought with his Zanussi too.

Bloody hell! What to do? What to do?

This machine, as stated above, needs preserving. Me bidding would be on the assumption that I can collect after work tomorrow or Tuesday, which means driving up the M1 in rush hour and arriving there in the dark!

This is a really difficult one!

Paul
 
Lol works for me! Means no1 will bid on my zanussi woop! But yea now im a single man its not a problem, i now have the time to go midweek for something like this.

Darren
 
Decisions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul some times we have to stretch our necks a bit too far..........ive done it enough times to know................that it feels FU..ING Fantastic after you have knackered your self to get something you really want

So my advice is GO FOR IT.........be brave

ps got a lux 437 today if your interested

Good Luck
Gary
