Another one

and one now in our collection,

The uber rare Hotpoint 95360,

3 buttons...

Slow Spin
Economy Wash
Half Load

Rare due to the fact the 4 button machine the 95450/2 was only £5 more to buy so you either bought the 4 button with Auto Prewash or the £10 less expensive 2 button variant with Economy wash and half load.

Machine is in fab condition bar the lid which is scratched and missing side strips.
The poor machine will be put back right soon upon finding a nice lid and having an original dial in clear plastic (thank god we own several original dials) and side strips fixing on.

We spent last saturday in Cardiff giving it a new lease of life with the spa treatment and a run through with some laundry - thread to follow soon I think.

Hi

Im new here so apologies if i shouldve posted somewhere else first to say hi, but 'hi everyone' :)

I found the website by accident after Googling 'Hoover A3350', which id seen on Ebay! Im amazed there's so many other people as mad about washing machines as myself!

Currently ive just the one washing machine of my own, a 1980s Zanussi FL1012, which i bought on Ebay for £15 in 2007. I got it for my first house but that's now rented out and the machine is in my parents garage whilst im back home. Gotta give it a run when i finally convince Mum to let me move her 20 month old Zanussi Essential into the garage!

Anyway, i don't wanna hijack the thread, just wanted to say what a great lot of pics of the Hotpoints. My Mum had the Electronic Deluxe 95450 when i was born, to replace her Servis Twin Tub. It was one of my earliest memories of washing machines, spent hours watching it, got a photo somewhere but it's identical to one pictured further up the thread.

It lasted around 12 years, tho did have quite alot of engineers visits during its time, mostly brushes & door seals. Tho the final nail in its coffin was the suspension leg coming away from its mountings meaning the drum started to move about too much (tho no more than our modern day Zanussi). I think that was discovered at the same time as a overfilling fault was being investigated. It also leaked from underneath & used to struggle to start back up after heating the water, so after 12 years of heavy use (including tonnes of boilwashes with my terry-towling nappies), the parents decided to move on & it was replaced by a cheaper but decent Indesit Omega.

Anyway, enough of me, i look forward to chatting to you guys soon :)

Best wishes,

Liam.
 
Many thanks Mike, much appreciated :)

Would the dream machine that's nearer than i think be the FLE3000 on Ebay?! It looks great doesnt it!

Hi FL1012! Our Hotpoint WM53 sadly died on Valentines Day 2009.So not such a good present! After loads of overloaded washes though. It has washed everything without problems.Here are some things it has washed: A Thick Woollen Blanket, 2 pairs of trainers and a Double Duvet! The carbon brushes failed so we got a new one, Also Hotpoint.It is a Hotpoint WML 540.

ChesterMikeUK: I have never sen so many Twin-Tubs in one place.How many machines do you have?I cant identify any models because i am hopeless with Twin-Tubs!

NewWave1: Why did you sell your WM43? lol It was such a great machine!

I am glad that so many good washing machines have went to so many good owners, Instead of just being crushed!
 
Hi HooverKeymatic :)

I agree, it's really good to see so many machines have been saved, i just presumed theyd all been scrapped, so i'm really pleased to have found this site.

I wonder where my parents old 95450 is, we gave it to a workmate of Dads to use as parts for his Hotpoint, but it was still working.

How do again, Liam.

The 95450/452 - grew up with one of each.

My god mum had a 95450, which she ran into the ground washing her and her 4 daughters clothes. My dad repaired it many times and I think it saw about 8 to 10 years use, but was a visual disaster by the end.

It lived with the matching dryer stacked on top for about 5 years until the dryer was 'grounded'.

My parents had a 95452 which went from 1986ish through to 2006ish, and gave up just before I started collecting. Had it lasted another year or two, then it would still be around.
A fantastic machine, which lead a much more gentle life than my god mums machine and had about three repairs on it in its whole life.

It had a new motor, after my mum overloaded it with a coat full of padding. The coat just absorbed all the water the machine could throw at it and, in the end, became so heavy that the motor couldnt turn it and gave in with a BIG bang.

New motor installed, all it had after that was two or three pairs of new brushes.
It was disposed of in immaculate condition apart from the obligatory chipped door release. It had side strips fully intact and there was not a trace of rust anywhere. Also having been cleaned on the outside regularly it shone.

Hopefully it will have been shredded as I'd hate for it to be sat in landfill getting compressed or having houses built on top of it.

just fond memories.
