That be an A3182!
Lovely machine, if a little rough round the lid department.
Looks like the original lid has been replaced by the lower version, to either fit under a lower worksurface or to give the integrated look.
This machine was the budget machine from the first generaion of electrons. This was the cheapest machine, whilst Gary's A3190 1100 was the top of the range.
Too far for me I am afraid.

Now excuse me but this model is from the later range of Electrons.........Paul ;-).....
As far as i remember the A3190 electron 1100 only had an 800 partner in its range

All went together to produce a great model lineup for Hoover circa 1982ish.
Just been and looked at the piccies i took of your A3190 Gary, when we visited - it really is a fantastic machine.

Dual Spin
The machine has a half (600) and full (800) spin buttons.
The other machines in the lineup apart from the 600 had that too.
They just put that name on the 800 spin model as a marketing ploy I'd imagine.

My parents first washing machine was a round door electron. I think or was the 800 rpm model. Don't remember much about it except for the boil washes if done for nappies! My folks had a Hoover tumble dryer too. It had a square door. The washing machine broke down in 1989 and the dryer was sold later in the year to make space for a dishwasher.

My first childminder had the A3184 800 until it died and was replaced by a SoftWave. I remember it was the only round door Hoover I had seen at that point (this is about 1993/4 or so).

Paul

Hi Zachary.
Like what Matt said, I think 'Dual Spin' was simply the advertising moniker for these machines.
The tag was also used for the A3256, from the follow on machines, but was dropped from the third series of electrons.
It generally meant a two spin speed machine.

Talking of round doors....
looked what was lifted into my car this evening!
Its a A3254 Electron 800, the machine which is from the second series of electrons, and one up from the A3182/A3252 600rpm machines.
Cant test, as its had its cable cut off, so wont know whether ive bought a complete dud for a while yet.
Front should clean up well, but underneath will need some work on the left hand side of the machine. I think it has been leaking from the powder drawer area, as the left hand side of the chassis and left suspension leg are rusty, whilst the right hand side is clean.
Uncanny eh that this thread starts, then one comes along.
Will update on the machine at the weekend.
