Well can anyone put a date on when it was made. Hope you enjoyed the pics. The last pic of the night, after the final 1000rpm spin.

Couldn't guess the year but a nice machine. An ex of mine had the same machine in a rental flat but the facia on his was grey.

It's a fantastic & quiet washer. First of all it's great to be able to spin just one item without the time consuming fussy balancing control it just gets on with it 500,800 then 1000rpm all done in 5 minutes. The suspension on this machine is excellent it just stays in place even with a severe unbalanced load. 5 Full rinses with 500rpm spins on the cotton cycles at high or low water levels, low level is more than adequate to rinse perfectly. Just wish i had a instruction book for it because with all the option buttons on it i'm not quite sure which ones are compatible with certain programmes. Half load & the spin reduction buttons work on all the wash programmes but i'm not sure about the other ones. They is also no wash guide on the control panel i have worked out the cotton ones NO-1 pre wash & 95deg. NO-2 95deg . NO-3 60deg. NO-4 40deg. NO-5 cold wash. NO-6 rinses. N0-7 fab cond & 1000rpm final spin. Been thinking about the age of it & i keep coming up with 1990.

That is gorgeous I am extremely jealous and it is definately older than 1990!
My friend had a slightly older model with door release it with variable temp and spin dials! I love old brown facia machines!
Thanks for posting!

Oh wow!
I would definately say late eighties, there is a video dated from 1989 with a slightly less top of line model reccomending Ariel.
Please can you put your machines in your profile?
Thanks

Lovely!
I grew up with the more basic model, with programme and temp dial, 3 buttons and an 800rpm spin.
That one was bought in the summer of '88, so this will be late 80s.
Hope you enjoy it!

I picked it up yesterday a customer came into our shop wanting to buy a new tumble dryer because her old Bendix compact had set on fire. She then decided on buying a Hoover washer/dryer. They is nothing what so ever wrong with it. It's great having a hot & cold feed washer back & the quiet sound of the pump makes me realise how noisy pumps are nowadays.

very nice find!
A friend of mine's grandparents have one of these. It's a nice, reliable machine but it does spend more time with the clothes just sitting around in water rather than actually tumbling. Still, a darn sight better than anything Indesit are churning out these days!

I guess they must use the wool cycle alot then because this one doesn't sit around much it tumbles very well.
