Nice Microtronic,

Wil be going for it already having the other New Generation machines.

Already have on the of 9554 Microtronics that we were given off Gary last year. Now in full working order and fettle.

The 9554 was one of the last ones made and were not New Geneartion machines. They are from 1988-90.
Quite a few of these still out there and seems to be the Microtronics that turn up on ebay the most frequent.
 
Bosch Maxx 5

Wow cool machine. My other half wont allow any other machines in the house, :-(.

I have now managed to sell my Bosch Maxx 5 at the weekend. In a way was sort of sorry to see her go, but she was only 8 months old and very happy with my Miele HomeCare.

The 9554 was made around 1989-1990

There was one more Microtronic after the 9554 (apologies for the spelling mistake above), in the form of the 9555, which looked a little weird as it had the redesigned flush door and new style drum, released in 1991-1992. This was definately the last Microtronic, as the successor to this particular model series, the 9556 was a 1200 Microprofile with a vacuum LCD display as opposed to the large black displays of the rest of the range.

Here is the 9555. I can't find the 1200 Microprofile 9556 pic I'm afraid.

Ultimafan! I have that pic of the 9555 too. I love this model! I was a big fan of that door and newer drum!

If only I could find one. Or a spin-slider model that isn't a million miles away!

Microprofile.

Ultimafan Paul and myself have one of these, the very first model - 9560 made in 1986.

Despite it saying its top speed is 1300rpm, it is actually 1400rpm.

The firts UK built machine to beat 1100rpm and was the fastest spinning UK built machine until 1995/6 IIRC.

Lucky Guys.

I hope you manage to fix the leak and that it's nothing to serious. I hope there will be photos! lol.

The TOL Hoover New Wave span at 1500rpm in 1994. I had a utlima WM43 made in 97 and was disapointed to find 1400rpm lasted all of 30-40seconds after a long 1000rpm spin. Other than that it was great. My Hoover Neww Wave Washer/dryer from the same year on the other hand span for 2-3 minutes at top speed.

Rob can you confirm/deny that the microprofile 9560 span at 1400 for a short time too?

Darren
 
Our understanding is

The Newwave 1500 was not in the 1994 brochure with that era having 1300rpm as the fastest machine.

In the 1995 brochure was the 1500rpm in white only.

The 9560 spins at 1400rpm for around 1 minute IIRC but that still does not deflect the fact it was the UK's first machine to beat 1100rpm, and by some years at that maintaining the fastest speed over production periods.
 
It was late 94 early 95 then. I've a migrane so perhaps my memory is tainted. I had wondered as to how long it span for as I didn't no if it was just later models like mine that span for 30-45seconds.

I love a chrome door on a machine its a fantastic look. I love the massive chrome door on my LG.

Is the micrctronic you've just aqquired a Low-energy model? I have just got a 1991 Which magazine which has the stats for the 9554 model. It didn't do bad at all.

Hiya Darren.

Collected the 95842 and got back about 40mins ago, so only had a quick look in very poor light.

It does leak and will need a thorough tidy up but, fingers crossed, should look splendid when done.
Wont apply any sidestrips to it until the machine is formly planted in a new home - far too fragile, if being moved.

Will have a go at cleaning it up tomorrow and let you know whats what with it.

Yep - it is an 'L.E' model, as were all the top end Hotpoints in the form of the 96700/702 top loader, 95840/842 Microtronic and 95620/622 variable 1000.
All the machines below the 95620/622 were standards.

You should go for that 9554W! Dont be put off by appearances, as most (though not all) will come off with some elbow grease.

Rob mentioned out 9554A. This machine was courtesy of Gary (electron1100) and was took to the tip where he works.

After undergoing a total drum transplant - outer and inner - it works very nicely, though will need new bearings in the future.
The original drum was totally 100% seized solid, hence the drum replacement.
Piccy of the 9554A below (if anyone knows of a source of Almond touch up paint, please let me know).

Cheers
Paul
p.s its had a new lid since the piccy was taken.
If anyone get the opportunity to salvage decent Hotpoint 95 lids, i would recommend that they take it. 95 lids dont tend to survive, without being battered and bruised.

Hotpoint Top Speed Spin Duration

Hello Rob and Darren as fas as i can remember the Micropofile 1400s could only peak at 1400 rpm for no more than 12 seconds as the motors were prone to burning out as at this speed the motors were spinning at 21000 rpm! perhaps if they had used a Hoover motor the machines could have maintained there top speed a bit longer

Gary
 
LOL Gary

Ow are ya?

Them OOvahs have got to yer head. Nowt but quality up made up North Wales ya know.

Honestly though ya cheeky sod (LOL) our 9560 certainly did around a minute if not more and a video of a later Microprofile on youtube times it to be around 50 seconds.

Anyways its not the duration its is about the speed record being broken and in 1986 Hotpoint did it 8 YEARS BEFORE OOOOOvah.

Same old story aint it LOL. 1971 and Hotpoints 1600 doing 1100rpm 7 years before Hoover caught up. He whom dares wins lol.

Yeah you stick wiv ya OOOvahs mate, nice and slow for ya.

LOL

:) :)
 
Not to be picky

But didn't the Creda Micron spin at 1250rpm? IIRC these debuted around 1982ish? Didn't the microprofile come out about the same time as the 1300rpm Logic as well? Maybe the logic was a year later?

I'd love to use one of those Hotpoints, very modern for the time with the innovative programme options, must have cost a small fourtune though!

The microtronics are lovely looking machines...everyone round here was too cheap to have such an expensive machine *LOL* an 800rpm Hotpoint with no softner dispenser was about as high end as it got on our street.

Matt
 
Yes Matt,

Quite right.

I had not thought about the Creda Micron, just shows how popular they were lol.

Ok lol. 1st machine to beat 1250rpm lol.
