1973 - Big changes afoot!
1973 witnessed big changes for Hotpoint's laundry range.
With the lessons of the 1600 learnt, Hotpoint's new front loader offerings would have their control panels on the front.
They would also be of the now standard compact size, but with an extra inch lopped off the height - quite why, god only knows!
They would also see a major change in the colour palate used in the design, moving away from the predictable colours of silver and dark grey or black, into the slightly psychedelic world of purple, mauve and lilac, against a silver fascia and bright white bodyshell.
&
for the first time, there would be a Hotpoint tumble dryer as well!
But thats for tomorrow
