Hi Everyone

[lordylord]

Hi!

I'm John from Northumberland. Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I'm 26 live and work in newcastle and i've been interested in washing machines and dryers since i was about 12...

I'll ad some pics of the machines we had when i was growing up

 

[lordylord]

Not my pic but i was only 11 when my parents got rid of this machine.

 

[lordylord]

We got AEG Oko_Lavamat 6100 in 1996 with a matching dryer.

 

[lordylord]

Again not my pic but ours was like this

 

[lordylord]

The First AEG lasted until 2004 then my parents bought an AEG 72640. The lavatherm dryer lasted another couple of years. Again not my pic :-/

 

[lordylord]

The Aeg Dryer packed up in 2006 and we bought a Creda Simplicity Dryer. Cant remember the model number but it was the reverse model, it was rubbish so we only kept it about a year.

 

[lordylord]

Shoud have added this at the start but forgot. We had the matching dryer to the Hotpoint 9534. Hotpoint reversomatic dryer plus. No idea of the model number.

 

[lordylord]

The creda dryer was sold and we bought a Zanussi which i dont have photos of...

 

[lordylord]

The AEG 72640 Washer lasted until 2010.. Only 6 years and the pcb went apparently. Now my mum has a Siemens. She only bought it because it had a 5 year guarantee.

 

[lordylord]

They don't make a basic dryer but she got this one ex display from fenwicks. A bargain at £290!! With a 5 year guarantee.

 

[lordylord]

I moved out and bought myself a re-furbished Miele W504 off ebay for £120!! I've just sold it on as i needed some spare cash. I've bought an old AEG 6100 like the one we had when i was a kid. Picking it up next week.

Hi John

Welcome to automaticwasher

I grew up with a hotpoint 9534, was an amazing machine. Loved the spin ramp on the final spin from distribution to 1000rpm.

Siemens, nice machines your mother has there

Hi Guys.

I remember the Hotpoint 9534 vaguely as it only lasted till 1996 (i was 11). My parents bought it around 1987, my grandparents had a New Generation from around 1984/5 which had a 1000 spin and a chrome door, i cant remember the model number. This is the machine i remember the most growing up, she had it until 1998 when it was replaced with a Hotpoint Aquarius WM63 which i hated hahaha. I used to sit next to her in her utility room watching the washing then help her peg it out in the summer months.

I loved the AEG 6200 that my mum had. I wish i'd never let her get rid of it. Hence i'm looking forward to getting the "new" one hahaha.

The Siemens is a good basic washer. It cleans well but its very unexciting and conservative and it has the loudest end of cycle signal you've ever heard!

 

[lordylord]

This is the one my grandma had. A hotpoint 95452 she had the same dryer as my mum though.

Hello!

Welcome! Such a wonderful collection of machines you have had the privellege of growing up with!

We had a Hotpoint 95620 whick broke when I was 2/3. I had a Casdon Hotpoint toy and used to play with that and watch the machine at the same time!

We own a Creda T510VW which is the uni - directional version of the machine you say was ruubish.

Also, I have a Hotpoint Aquarius WM62 at my caravan like your grandparents had!

Thanks and enjoy the club

P.S: Are you on YouTube?

Welcome John

The pic thread was great, so easy to see your washer timeline, you`ll have lots of pics, posts & vids to catch up on here and I`m sure it will be good to hear more of your stories...

Any family work at the big detergent company up there??

Cheers, Mike

No P&G workers in my family unfortunately... :-( i have tenants in a rental property that work for P&G and omg their house is amazing. Its just full of P&G products. Never short of washing detergent... Hopefully when the AEG is plumbed in i'll be able to do some videos and get some pictures. I'll get pics of my parents Siemens duo too. I haven't got a youtube channel at the moment. Maybe i should open one.
